Kinky CSD Afterparty 2026: UNLEASHED Is Back, Bigger and Wilder

Last year our CSD Afterparty sold out — a packed, sweaty, joyful night that proved Berlin wanted exactly this. So we went back to the club and asked for more. This year the Kinky CSD Afterparty is back, bigger and wilder than ever: UNLEASHED by UNDR takes over INSOMNIA Berlin on Saturday, 25 July 2026, with 10 DJs across two floors, live performances, and the sex-positive, consent-led freedom you know us for. And this time we're not stopping at one night — read on for the brand-new Friday preparty too.

Berlin Pride is a full weekend of queer joy, and we want you dancing from the parade to sunrise. Come as your most daring self and unleash your Pride with us.

Berlin CSD 2026: Pride, Protest and the Parade

Christopher Street Day (CSD) is Germany's Pride — a joyful celebration and a political demonstration rolled into one, named after the 1969 Stonewall uprising that ignited the modern LGBTQIA+ movement. Berlin's first CSD marched in 1979 with just a few hundred people; today around one million fill the streets each year.

The 48th Berlin CSD takes place on Saturday, 25 July 2026 under the motto "Haltung ist Hot" (Attitude Is Hot). Here are the parade facts worth knowing:

• Opening: 11:30 at Leipziger Straße / corner Charlottenstraße
• First float rolls: 12:00, Leipziger Straße
• Route: Leipziger Straße → Potsdamer Platz → Bülowstraße → Nollendorfplatz → An der Urania → Lützowplatz → Klingelhöferstraße → Großer Stern (Siegessäule) → Straße des 17. Juni → Brandenburger Tor
• Final rally: Brandenburger Tor, first arrivals expected around 15:30
• Cost: Free — CSD is a political demonstration, open to all, whether you march, ride a float or cheer from the curb

March all day, then bring that energy straight to us. Full route details are on the official CSD Berlin site.

From Parade to Playground: 10 DJs Across Two Floors

Inside INSOMNIA, two floors carry the night — and this year the lineup is our biggest CSD roster yet: ten DJs plus live performances, from peak-time euphoria to darker, harder territory.

Main Floor — Techno. Melodic, peak-time and heavy: Flemish Fetish opens, then Misha Svirid, Marvel Gold and Cøral Negrø carry you through to 6 AM.

The Dungeon — Techno, back-to-back all night. Downstairs goes darker and dirtier with three B2B pairings: NDNA b2b Omi on Acid, Arni b2b Maze Kashi, and Nick Grater b2b Tankgirl.

Add live performances through the night and you've got a full sensory Pride afterparty — dance up top, explore below, and let your wildest side lead the way.

New This Year: A Friday Preparty by UNDR

One night wasn't enough. This year our mother brand UNDR opens CSD weekend with a Preparty on Friday, 24 July 2026 — also at INSOMNIA — so you can start the celebration a day early. Expect two floors again: Techno on the Main floor (ELEETE, Miss Unleashed, Jakob Lesch) and Hard Dance in the Dungeon (MIMI404, Tyla Allen).

Best part: grab a combo ticket for both nights. Your Friday bracelet gets you into the UNLEASHED afterparty on Saturday through the guestlist/friendslist queue. Two nights, one weekend, endless Pride.

Dress Code & Safer Space

This is sexy techno with a kinky, fetish edge — latex, leather, harnesses, chains, lingerie, or your most daring clubwear. No streetwear, no everyday outfits — effort is mandatory and checked at the door. New to it? Our full dress code guide has you covered.

UNLEASHED is a safer space. Phones stay at the cloakroom (the club is camera-free except during dedicated photo-booth hours), a trained awareness team is always on hand, and consent runs the room: no means no, only a clear yes means yes, and it can be revoked at any time. We celebrate your vibe, not your background — any form of racism, homophobia, transphobia or hate gets you shown the door. Read the full house rules before you come.
