LP usually starts from "Ernst-Reuter-Platz" and "Brandenburger Tor" moving along "Straße des 17.Juni" towards the "Siegessäule"

wow...that's amazing...i also heard they have sex on the streets thereat during the LP, is that true?
also i recall reading on the website that LP 2004 may possibly not occur because of financial situations or something...i hope this is not true for i surely plan to go there one year if im still alive & kicking

not true. they had sex on the trucks, but that's not allowed anymore.
you can still have sex in the park.

in 2000 a porn movie was shot in the park. It's somewhere in my Loveparade archive

Berlin has a debt of 50 billion dollars. Loveparade brings 150 million dollars of income. Berlin needs the Loveparade for goodwill as well. Loveparade will always be there, although it's getting worse (read commercial/no real ravers anymore/too many rules) every year.

Loveparade is fun because of the tons of parties on Friday and Saturday night. And to watch boobs when the weather is good

that's sucks that it's getting more commercial...i remember espying an advertisement or something of the sort for Legally Blonde 2 on the website relating to LP?! don't think it was a pop-up either

in any case, i shan't be discouraged to go there no matter what happens and im sure it's still a euphoric trance party
thx for the info

Actually, 50% is techno, 30% is house and 20% is techno (when you look at the line-up of both the trucks and the ending party)

The warm-up and after parties are amazing. I recommend Love from Above (PvD) on Friday and Love Base on Saturday. Love Base is a bit cheezy but the admosphere, people and location will blow you away

Love from Above is a bit crowded until 02:00hr, but very tasty (soundsystem is really loud)
