Kinky CSD Preparty 2026: UNDR Opens Berlin's Ultimate CSD Weekend

Last year the UNLEASHED CSD Afterparty sold out. So this year UNDR is giving you the whole weekend — and it starts with us.

The Kinky CSD Preparty by UNDR opens Berlin's CSD weekend on Friday, 24 July 2026 at INSOMNIA Berlin: two floors, Techno and Hard Dance, doors 22:00 till 06:00. Kinky, consent-led, sex-positive. This is the warm-up that sets the tone for everything that follows — and with a combo ticket, it's the smartest way into the biggest Pride weekend of the year.

One weekend, three moves

CSD weekend isn't a single night. It's a marathon, and we've built the route for you — from the first kick drum on Friday to the last one on Sunday morning.

• Friday night — Kinky CSD Preparty by UNDR. 22:00–06:00 at INSOMNIA. Two floors, Techno and Hard Dance.
• Saturday afternoon — the parade. Berlin CSD starts from 14:00 so you can sleep and reacharge.
• Saturday night — UNLEASHED Kinky CSD Afterparty. From 20:00 at INSOMNIA. Ten DJs, two floors, all play areas open.

Three moves, one bracelet, zero compromise.

Friday: The Kinky CSD Preparty

We open the weekend loud. The Kinky CSD Preparty runs across two floors of INSOMNIA, each with its own pulse.

Main Floor — Techno. ELEETE, Miss Unleashed and Jakob Lesch drive the room — peak-time, built to move you.

The Dungeon — Hard Dance. Downstairs goes faster and harder with MIMI404 and Tyla Allen for everyone who likes it heavy.

Inside, it's pure UNDR: phone-free and camera-free from the door, a refreshments station with fruit, candy and snacks included all night, Candy Girls & Guys handing out ice cream on the floor, a couples area overlooking the Main dance floor, and a trained awareness team keeping the room safe. Consent runs everything: no means no, only a clear yes means yes.

The Combo Ticket

Here's the play. Grab a combo ticket for Friday and Saturday together — you save on both nights, and your Friday bracelet gets you into the UNLEASHED Kinky CSD Afterparty on Saturday through the guestlist/friendslist queue. One purchase, two nights, priority entry to the party everyone will be talking about on Sunday.

If you only do one thing before CSD weekend, do this.

Saturday: Parade by Day, UNLEASHED by Night

Christopher Street Day is Germany's Pride — a joyful celebration and a political demonstration in one, born from the 1969 Stonewall uprising. Berlin's first CSD marched in 1979; today around one million people fill the streets.

The 48th Berlin CSD takes place on Saturday, 25 July 2026 under the motto "Haltung ist Hot" \(Attitude Is Hot\). The essentials:

• Official start: 12:00 at Leipziger Straße \(opening 11:30 at the corner of Charlottenstraße\)
• Route: Leipziger Straße → Potsdamer Platz → Nollendorfplatz → Lützowplatz → Großer Stern \(Siegessäule\) → Straße des 17. Juni → Brandenburger Tor
• Final rally: Brandenburger Tor, first arrivals around 15:30
• Cost: Free — it's a political demonstration, open to everyone, on foot, on a float or from the curb

Danced till 6 AM on Friday? Sleep in, then roll into the parade from the afternoon and let the energy carry you to the Gate. Full route on the official CSD Berlin site. Then, when the sun drops, our sister brand UNLEASHED takes INSOMNIA back over from 20:00 — ten DJs across two floors, all play areas open, till morning.

Dress Code & Safer Space

UNDR unites Berlin's techno aesthetic with a bold, sex-positive, kinky edge. Come in your most authentic self — latex, leather, harnesses, lingerie, creative fetishwear. No streetwear, no everyday outfits; effort is checked at the door. New to the dress code? The full guide lives at unleashed.berlin.

And the ground rules never change: diversity over prejudice, consent over everything, clear communication, respect for boundaries, and an awareness team you can reach the moment something feels off. Any form of racism, homophobia, transphobia or hate gets you shown the door.
