PRIDEBALL LEIPZIG 2026

In the organizer's words:

Prideball - the closing party for Leipzig CSD 2026 at Täubchenthal on July 18, 2026

The highlight of the Leipzig CSD in 2026 will once again be the Pride Ball, the main party event in Central Germany, the official closing moment of the CSD week and the common denominator of Leipzig's LGBTQIA+ community with more than 2,000 guests for 20 years now.

And as befits the crowning finale of the week, all the hottest names from the hotspots of the republic are invited for this one night to celebrate the occasion accordingly and into the early hours of the morning.

From 9 p.m., after the big CSD street party, one of Leipzig's most extraordinary venues will open its doors for the Pride Ball: the Täubchenthal in Leipzig-Plagwitz. The magnificent event location with its huge outdoor area, large ballroom and club room has enriched the Leipzig landscape for many years and is predestined for a splendid and exuberant party in summer.

Celebrate, dance, make out, be free - let yourself be enchanted in the 5 areas of the former worsted spinning mill.

We start relaxed from 9 pm in the outdoor area before the floors of the entire site gradually open up. Here you can expect DJing, drag performances and various performances on several stages.

A whole host of acts have been booked for this special night that will both inspire and polarize the regional and national community. You can look forward to DJ shows by the two acts from Berlin Robin Solf and Schwuppenexpress, Lara Liqueur from Dresden will be back after a few years away, Nici Palm will be performing on the outdoor stage and last but not least, this year's ultimate karaoke floor with Cadillac Carl.

Athena Owls, drag queen, self-proclaimed goddess and Greece's export hit (after gyros and ouzo) will be serving up c^nty looks and dramatic performances. Get ready for a divine drag spectacle in a class of its own.

Stay tuned and loosen up for boundary-pushing acts, scene-unifying sounds and genre clashes that can only be found once a year with a unique range: on the night of the Pride Ball, when pop addicts, alternative clubbers and scene elders dance happily and together arm in arm.
