Loveparade 2007 gaat toch door

Final spurt in the Ruhr Metropolitan Region:
we’re almost there!
To all Loveparaders,

Over the last few weeks there has been a good deal of writing, discussion, rumour-spreading and conjecture in the media – most of it pleased us, much of it annoyed us, and some of it even surprised us.
But if there was one thing which all this media hype shows, it was this: LOVEPARADE is, and will remain, a controversial topic and is livelier than ever! May we use this opportunity to THANK YOU for your animated and often emotional participation in the discussions. Since we are now starting on the reconstruction of our website, we shall be forced to disconnect a number of functions for the time being. We hope you will appreciate this.

Across the whole of Europe over the last few months many cities and regions have shown interest, or even applied to us directly. We have invested a good deal of time and had innumerable meetings, to view and assess potential venues. May we take this opportunity to thank people at local level for their openness, friendliness and support – people who have given a warm reception to Loveparade and its team and who showed enthusiasm about the idea.

To put an end to wild speculations, we can now tell you that we are close to organising Loveparade this year too.

We are in the final stage of negotiations with the Ruhr Metropolitan Region and are very confident of bringing them to a successful conclusion. Our aim is to have Essen as a venue for 2007. The date we are working towards is 25 August. Over the following years other towns and cities in the Ruhr will be our hosts. We hope to be able to present a fantastic outcome at our press conference in June. Until then, just a little more patience – the love is still alive!
