Loveball

About this event

Relive the past. Celebrate love. Dance into the future. ✨💖  Loveball lands on sacred ground. The Other Side — a venue where nightlife lives, where freedom is felt, and where the energy of the dancefloor takes center stage. A space that invites you to let go, connect, and fully surrender to the music. 🌙🔥🎶 Loveball is the official opening event of Pride Amsterdam 2026. On Saturday, July 11, 2026, from 10:00 PM until 5:00 AM, Pride Amsterdam opens with a night where the city comes together to celebrate freedom, inclusivity, and love. The Other Side Amsterdam sets the stage for this unforgettable kickoff. 🌈🤍 Loveball is rooted in the legacy of Amsterdam’s legendary club culture. In the 80s and 90s, venues like Roxy and it defined a generation. They were places where house music, art, fashion and activism collided. Where the night was extravagant, provocative and radically free. Where self-expression was not only allowed, but celebrated. ✨👠 That spirit lives on at Loveball — powered by Diva Mayday, the creative force behind the event and one of the shining stars of the night. As an icon of expression, performance and unapologetic glamour, Diva Mayday embodies the very essence of Loveball and brings its vision to life on and beyond the dancefloor. 💎👑💋 Expect an immersive musical journey driven by house music, featuring leading DJs and live performances by national and international artists. From deep, hypnotic grooves to uplifting, high-energy house sounds that will carry you through the night and into the early morning. 🔊🖤🌅 Line-up Brooke lynn hytes Diva Mayday Roog Rozalla Reggy B Just Jane La Lolly Stennis Tootsi Sky Aero Skyla Versai More TBA Surrounding this is a world of spectacular entertainment, bold performances and unexpected acts that stimulate the senses and complete the Loveball experience. 🔥💫 LoveBall gives back to the community: At LoveBall, it’s not just about glitter, glamour, and dancing, we also celebrate the people who made it possible for us to live freely today. That’s why we support queer elders: the pioneers of the LGBTQ+ community who, in times of far less acceptance, fought for visibility, rights, and the freedom to be themselves. Many elderly people, including queer elders, experience loneliness today. Some don’t feel safe being open about their identity in care homes due to fear of misunderstanding, even though they spent their lives fighting for love and equality. With LoveBall, we want to help change that through a financial contribution and by encouraging attention, connection, and joy, making special moments possible that enhance their wellbeing and quality of life. Visitors will also have the opportunity on the night itself to donate voluntarily and directly support initiatives that uplift queer elders. Together, we don’t just celebrate the present, we honor the past and help build a future in which no one is forgotten. Loveball is more than a party. It is the beginning of Pride. 🏳️‍🌈 It is a tribute to our past — and a celebration of what’s to come. 💞🚀 Love is not just a feeling. 💗It’s a celebration. Welcome to Loveball. 🎉 ✨
