and many more confirmed. Over the years, Paul van Dyk has
been a leading force in the Loveparade Berlin and exclaims
about this year’s event, "I was very excited
when I heard that the Loveparade will take place in North
America. I am sure that the positive and peaceful vibe of
this event will be an extra feature in the amazing cultural
life of San Francisco and is going to become an annual highlight!"
Here some other artists have expressed their enthusiasm
for the Loveparade:
“We’ve been wanting to do the Love Parade for
years, and San Francisco has always been one of our favorite
city’s to visit. Needless to say, we’re gonna
have a great time.”
Ken Jordan – The Crystal Method
"This will be my first Love parade in San Francisco
and I can't wait, I have heard such amazing things about
it, and now I am getting a chance to actually do it. San
Francisco is one of my favorite places in the world with
its heritage in music and the people there have such a great
attitude to life." -Carl Cox
