Technoparade Rave the Planet: Berlin is preparing for mega event!

On Saturday, July 12, 2025, Berlin, known for its lively technoculture, will be the scene of the technoparade "Rave the Planet". This event, organized by Dr. Motte, the founder of the Loveparade, aims to celebrate the joy of electronic music. The parade begins at 2 p.m. on the street of June 17th, between the Great Star and the Brandenburg Gate and is expected to attract 300,000 participants. The police officially registered this number and will therefore have hundreds of security forces.

As early as Friday evening, July 11th, the road of June 17 will be closed to traffic. Drivers have to adjust to diversions and traffic jams, since surrounding roads are closed until after midnight from Saturday morning. An overview of the closures shows that, among other things, Yitzhak-Rabin-Straße as well as parts of Ebertstrasse and Pariser Platz on the Brandenburg Gate. In addition, additional closures in the area of the Great Star and the John Foster Dulles-Allee are planned from Saturday morning.

safety precautions and traffic restrictions

The safety precautions for the techno carade are extensive. The Brandenburg Gate and Bundestag underground stations are expected to be closed on Saturday afternoon and evening due to the high crowds. In addition, other train stations could also be affected, although this is currently unclear. The police have already strengthened their measures to react to potential threats from amocrats and terrorist attacks. These reinforced security measures are part of a planned new "Event Security Act", which should come into force by autumn 2026.

This law, which Interior Senator Iris Spranger (SPD) has announced, will contain clear security requirements for large events such as parades, concerts and the Berlin marathon. This includes barriers to access roads and an increased presence of guards and police to ensure the safety of the participants. Police President Barbara Slovik Meisel has already emphasized that more police vehicles should be used in demonstrations to prevent vehicle reversals.

additional events and security measures

parallel to the technoparade "Rave the Planet", the "Lollapalooza" festival will take place at the Olympic Stadium, which will also lead to further traffic restrictions in the capital. The entire region will probably reach its normal traffic situation again from Sunday morning, July 13th.

The Berlin organizers and security forces are well prepared and have taken measures to ensure security during the celebrations. While the technology and cultural events in Berlin continue to grow, the safety of the participants is of crucial importance in view of the latest events in other cities.
