Rave The Planet Afterparty 2026 | Kinky Rave at INSOMNIA

On Saturday, 15 August 2026, Berlin belongs to the street again. And when the last trucks fall silent on the Straße des 17. Juni at 22:00, our doors open. The UNDR team brings Trance Baby Trance to INSOMNIA — the only kinky afterparty in the berliner.party parade guide.

The parade: Straße des 17. Juni, 14:00 to 22:00

The Rave The Planet Parade returns to Berlin for the fifth time on 15 August 2026, from 14:00 to 22:00, on the Straße des 17. Juni between the Brandenburg Gate and the Großer Stern, under the motto “IMAGINE LOVE”. It isn't a ticketed festival — it's a demonstration for peace, diversity and humanity, in the tradition of the Love Parade. Free to attend, open to everyone.

Because the western stretch of the road is closed for construction until roughly 2029, all floats line up along the eastern section and the parade moves back and forth, turning just before the Gate. There's no central stage at the Victory Column: every float is its own stage, right in the middle of the crowd.

Who plays where, which truck rolls when, and every announced line-up — 34 trucks, 382 artists — is in the independent Rave The Planet 26 guide by berliner.party. It works offline, which in the Tiergarten on a Saturday afternoon is less of a nice-to-have than it sounds.

Afterwards: Trance Baby Trance by UNDR at INSOMNIA

The parade ends at 22:00. Our doors open at 22:00. You don't get a cleaner handover than that.

The berliner.party guide lists 18 parade afterparties — and Trance Baby Trance is the only kinky one among them. For everyone who isn't finished after eight hours of sun, dust and bass, and who wants to carry the night somewhere clothing is a statement rather than weather protection.

It's a particular night for us, too: this is the final edition under this name. The party moves fully into the UNDR family and returns in October as BOUNCE by UNDR. Same euphoria, same crew, new name.

The line-up

Main Floor — Modern Trance / Eurodance

• CLAESSENS — headliner. Dutch DJ and producer known for high-energy hard dance sets that fuse powerful beats with melodic and vocal elements. Over two decades of experience, with shows at Tomorrowland, Ultra, Mysteryland, Dance Valley and ISY Festival China. Formerly known as Tony Junior, now performing under his real name — harder, more personal, creatively free.
• subga b2b jeanska
• DJ Sweedee

DUNGEON — Rave Revival / High-Energy Club

• Miss Unleashed
• Bi Män
• Boris Blocksberg

Upstairs goes euphoric and melodic; downstairs goes faster and harder. Two rooms, two moods, one very long night.

Dress code

Sexy and colourful in all its forms: latex, neon harnesses, sheer bodysuits, sparkling lingerie, glitter, mesh, creative fetish flair. Effort is checked at the door — a ticket is not a guaranteed entry. Coming straight from the Straße des 17. Juni? Bring a change of outfit. Parade clothes are not a dress code.

Included in your ticket

• Free showers and towels behind the Main floor and in the DUNGEON — after eight hours of parade, genuinely the best part of the night
• A refreshments station with candy, chocolate, fruit and snacks, plus more spots around the club
• Candy Girls & Guys handing out ice cream and treats all night
• Free earplugs at several points
• A couples area overlooking the Main floor, chill corners, a smoking lounge and play areas

Phone-free

The entire club is phone-free — phones go to the cloakroom. A photo corner is open from 22:30 to 01:00, after which a photographer roams until 02:30, only ever with permission.

Consent and awareness

No means no. Maybe means no. Only a clear yes means yes — and you can change your mind at any time. Ask before touching, respect every boundary, and if something feels off, our trained awareness team is there for you. Diversity over prejudice: racism, homophobia, transphobia or any form of hate gets you shown the door.

Saturday, 15 August 2026, from 14:00 to 22:00 on the Straße des 17. Juni in Berlin, between the Brandenburg Gate and the Großer Stern.

Does the parade cost anything?

No. The parade is a registered demonstration and free for everyone. Only the afterparties in the evening require tickets.

When does the afterparty at INSOMNIA open?

At 22:00, directly after the parade. The night runs until 06:00. Entry is 18+.

Are tickets available at the door?

Yes. An advance ticket puts you in the priority queue, though, and this night will be busy.

Can I come straight from the parade?

Please do — but bring a change of outfit. There is a dress code, and free showers and towels are there for exactly this situation.

What does “kinky party” actually mean?

A sex-positive, consent-based space with a dress code, play areas, a couples area and a trained awareness team. Nobody has to join in, everybody has to respect. Dancing all night is a completely valid plan.
