Rave The Planet Parade

The mayor of the city, Adolf Sauerland, desperately wants to use the Love Parade to reposition the image of Duisburg, relaunch it and bring a lot of money.

The organizer of the event is Rainer Schaller, the millionaire owner of the McFit gym chain.

who bought the rights to the Love Parade as a marketing tool.

What better way to push people to sign up for your gym than to host one of the biggest raves in the city? Alarm signals were everywhere.

However, the organizers publicly claim that more than a million participants are expected.

Now it might seem obvious,

how can you keep a festival that has so many people in a place that has space for less than a quarter of them? Well, the organizers argue that, within the 10 hours of the event, they would have had a million and a half people in total, but not all at the same time.

The ravers would have gone and come in a continuous flow, like the water that passes through a tube, without ever exceeding the legal limit of the site of 250,000 people.
