- Rave the Planet: 300,000 people reported, police say
For the third edition of the techno spectacle "Rave The Planet" featuring Loveparade founder Dr. Motte, police reports indicate that 300,000 participants have registered. The organizers will provide more details about security measures and the event's progress at a press conference on Wednesday. The parade was registered as a procession, according to a police spokesperson.
This Saturday's (August 17) grand Techno Parade, themed "Love is Stronger", aims to bring people together from around the world, standing for peace and the protection of electronic dance music culture. Organizers have already announced speakers and contributors for the "cultural-political demonstration" on Instagram, including a video message from Culture State Minister Claudia Roth.
Last July, police estimated that around 200,000 techno fans celebrated outdoors. Organizers then reported around 300,000 people. The event between the Brandenburg Gate and Victory Column was on the brink due to sanitary concepts until the very last moment. However, firefighters and police gave the green light just before the start and later expressed satisfaction with the event's progress.
