Politics, electronic music and 25,000 people expected at Rave the Planet Parade this weekend, 12 years after fatal Duisburg crush
Neon bodypaint, string vests and no-nonsense four-to-the-floor beats will return to the streets of Berlin this weekend as the legendary Love Parade techno event makes a comeback in the German capital after a hiatus of more than 15 years.
The Love Parade under its old name was discontinued in 2010, when 21 people suffocated and 652 others were injured in a, to where the event had relocated after its naming rights were sold to the owner of a chain of fitness studios in 2005. Workers from the Rave the Planet organisation set up a miniature model of Berlin’s Strasse des 17 Juni boulevard and Victory Column.Organisers said the parade had been registered as a demonstration with 25,000 participants – a far cry from the 1.5 million who trekked through Berlin at Love Parade’s peak in 1999, but also a more sizeable crowed than the 150 ravers at the inaugural event.
