CSD Frankfurt
A festival for equality and diversity! Indulge in food and drinks from traditional queer bars & restaurants in Frankfurt, while live acts, political discussions and DJane* sets provide glittering and colorful moments on the main stage.
At CSD, the info street is transformed into a lively “Bazaar of diversity”. Numerous associations, groups and initiatives from Frankfurt's queer community present themselves here and show how colorful and diverse the city is. The bazaar stretches along the Große Friedberger Straße via the colorful Regenbogenkreisel, where the art & culture stage is located, to the end of the Alte Gasse, where it ends with the dance stage.
The Art & cultural stage offers an exciting mix of cabaret, poetry slam and live radio, providing the best entertainment. A special highlight is the extremely popular high heels race, which takes place on Saturday at 7 pm and attracts numerous viewers.
Once again, this year, the Alte Gasse near the PinkBar will be filled with electronic music on all three days! Look forward to various queer DJanes and DJs, as well as up-coming DJanes and DJs, who will inspire you with their beats from Friday to Sunday. A musical weekend full of variety and driving beats awaits you!
What does “Awareness” mean and why does the consciousness team exist?
With our program at this year's CSD street festival, we are sending a strong signal for presence and activity. We are there to support those affected by border crossings as a trustworthy point of contact and to offer a safe space in the event of conflicts.
Awareness means being aware and being informed. We do not tolerate racism, xenophobia, sexism, misogyny, classism, queer hostility, nationalist, anti-Semitic, anti-democratic, anti-migrant and antiziganism ideologies, hostility towards people with disabilities, right-wing hate speech and other forms of group-focused misanthropy.
You will find our Awareness Point to the right of the main stage, where we also offer access to a retreat tent. We will also be out and about with a mobile awareness team, recognizable by green armbands at the street festival and the Bazaar of diversity to help you if you are not feeling well or experience discrimination or border crossings.
Our primary goal is that you feel comfortable at CSD Frankfurt. We are there for you if you experience harassment, discrimination or any kind of abusive behavior. In addition, our team also offers help with health problems, for example due to alcohol or drug consumption, as well as support with any kind of discrimination.
Be nice to each other. Always treat each other with respect and tolerance.
Young people and children (under 18) can also relax in the youth and chill-out area at the Frankfurter Engel (art & culture stage).
At this year's CSD, we are creating a lively retreat for young queer people with the youth and chillout area. Here you can relax, recharge your batteries and make valuable contacts. Design creative demo signs together and get active at the Social Media Point. Numerous other exciting activities await you.
The Queer Street Festival at Konstablerwache
The entire square, including the station Konstablerwache, is barrier-free.

Balu's German-language lyrics are small, timeless masterpieces that are in no way inferior to the power of the catchy melodies, both lyrically and in their expressive imagery. She does not shy away from socially relevant topics either, on the contrary, she takes a critical look at them. Whether from her own perspective or that of another person, Balu is able to give everyone enough space so that listeners can find themselves in (these very) stories.
Like her personality, Balu's sound cannot be easily pigeonholed - it is bold, authentic and genuine. As multi-layered as she is multi-faceted, she doesn't think about pigeonholing herself at all and knows how to fuse a wide variety of stylistic influences in a fascinating way. Driving drums meet cool guitar riffs or striking beats and sometimes exude a vibe of indie pop, which is particularly evident in powerful up-tempo numbers. And while other songs have a rock attitude, Balu also has feel-good songs that stay in the ear.
Extravagant, punky, elegant.

Anna Pauline Kohn (vocals) and Lisa-Marie Bruynen (drums) are PAULINKO and are fed up with guys who want to tell you how it's done.
While PAULINKO's first singles - including the hit “Bis die Sonne aufwacht” (Until the sun wakes up) - were created by Anna Pauline Kohn alone with the producer duo koenigsallee, PAULINKO have now grown into a duo and have been joined by Lisa-Marie Bruynen on drums, who also really gets into it live. Reminiscences of Twenty One Pilots cannot be dismissed.
Lisa-Marie not only fits in perfectly with PAULINKO musically, but also with the character of the band as a queer woman who has just had a son with her wife: PAULINKO also sees itself as the mouthpiece of a generation of post-millennial women who simply live female empowerment and don't give a shit about conventions, take their lives into their own hands and live as they see fit.
Party pure! PAULINKO has now become the final enemy of the willy quota and ensures that not only CIS student men and bearded men populate the stages at festivals.
The topics and participants will be published shortly.

In real life, Dirk Vox does advertise, but his private passion is music. For over 30 years, Dirk Vox has been organizing large, small and private parties with his wide selection of music. He is the founding DJ of “Club 78”, formerly Europe's biggest 70s/80s/90s gay party and has not missed a single Club 78 event during the existence of this party series (1995-2024). In an interview, the magazine “GAB” once described him as the “musical soul” of Club 78. As resident DJ, he lives up to this compliment and has great fun creating that total disco feeling.
But he can also be completely different and adapts his musical selection to the audience and the respective party theme. He is not guided by mainstream charts, but carefully selects his very own program from the entire musical spectrum.
Dirk Vox was also a member of the founding association of CSD Frankfurt and can still be seen actively on stage today. In addition to Aids-Hilfe Frankfurt (Run for More Time) and Aids-Hilfe Wiesbaden (Gala Ball), he also supports the CSD association in Hanau (founded in 2019) with help and advice and, of course, music.
His sounds: original disco & dance classics, rock and pop from the 70s to the 90s from ABBA to Zappa, party & dance house, tribal & Latin house, reggaeton - current charts - nu disco to disco house. With his own exclusive remixes, every party takes a sometimes very surprising turn. As a self-confessed disco freak, he doesn't even shy away from hit parties. The second focus is on current trends in house, deep, minimal and tribal - whether in English, Spanish, French or German. Variety is his motto; he gets bored of one-sidedness. He remains spontaneous and is guided by the mood in the room.
The young duo interprets cover songs by well-known but also unknown artists in their own way. Acoustic guitar meets piano, rounded off by soulful two-part harmony.
Dennis J. has been hosting karaoke at Lucky's for over 10 years and will be presenting DJs Karaoke at CSD Frankfurt again this year.

The three best performers will be clapped into the final by you, where they will wow you with a new text. At the end, you as the jury will choose the winner with a fitting round of applause.

Best of my Best - Ms. Antje makes music!
Frau Antje goes back to the exciting times of her younger years and sings the most beautiful and formative songs of the 80s and 90s in her program. Rockpalast in real time, mopeds everywhere and Ms. Antje as Blondie right in the middle of it all. It's a musical journey of discovery with a cassette recorder under her arm, a little sentimental, a little “back to the beginning - everything on roots”. Debbie, Petula, Nina, Joni, Minnie, Michael, Francoise, Chrissie - Ms. Antje and the ukulele interpret their favorite songs from that time with her unmistakable voice and lots of emotion.
We can't wait to see what else she conjures up from her sewing box. It will definitely be colorful, there will be singing, and it will be beautiful, definitely!
And seriously - it will be funny anyway.
I am Nina, flight attendant and singer. With my passion for music and interacting with people, I want to celebrate diversity and spread joy. I'm delighted to be part of this year's CSD Frankfurt - with music from the heart for the heart. Ninaheartmusic.

Patricia Bass provides bass where it is needed and loved. With her unmistakable melodies from the house and techno genres, she makes every dance floor shake. Since moving to Frankfurt in 2021, Patricia has discovered her passion for electronic music and played her first gigs within a year. Her trademark? The bass control must always be turned up to unleash the full, pulsating sounds of her techno, house and melodic tracks.
Whether heavy, dark and hypnotic or melodic and light as a feather - for Nikesch, the mood is the heart of the music. For her, music is the expression of inner states that can be experienced above all in opposites. Penetrating bass, glistening high hats and melodic sounds define her sound, which invites you to lose yourself in the moment together. Sometimes euphoric, sometimes melancholic, but always very danceable, she plays genres between hard groove, minimal and dark techno, (hard) house and dark disco.
Nikesch has been part of the Frankfurt collective clubcherry since 2023 and supports FLINTA* people in actively participating in the Frankfurt techno scene.
Luzie was born in Frankfurt in 1995 and fell in love with Offenbach in 2017. She has been DJing since she was 18, but only officially ventured into the clubs in 2020 and has more or less dedicated herself to minimal and house. Her sets can also have electro, acid and techno elements. Everything is always positive and driving.
With her residencies at the queer collective 'Mitte der Gesellschaft' and the FLINTA* collective ''clubcherry'', she is committed to the LGBTQIA+ community in Frankfurt and regularly co-hosts parties.
In September 2023, she made her debut at the Panorama Bar in Berlin and has also been on Callshop Radio since 2023 with her monthly show ''Offenbach Love Soundscapes''.
Andrale is known for her melodic and driving techno sets. Influences from other genres such as dark disco or indie dance create her characteristic sound.
As a resident at Tanzhaus West and clubcherry, as well as with various appearances at Kabinett der Kuriositäten, Freud and many more, she enriches the Frankfurt club scene and continues to leave her mark on it.
Sam Aroha - “Aroha is Maori and means love and gratitude.”
Concentrated power, infectious good humor and the finest, groovy Techhouse or driving, rhythmic Afrohouse await you when she's on the decks. The varied mix of groovy vocals, infectious melodies and pumping basses characterize her style and ensure that no leg stands still.
Recently, beatina has also been behind the decks - the latest resident addition to clubcherry.
Having grown up playing classical piano and later dancing at various electronic events in the Rhine-Main area, she found her way into DJing last year in her search for new experiences. The first sessions in the cellars of friends eventually led to her playing her first club gigs in Frankfurt. Starting with trancy techno in search of her individual sound, she is currently exploring minimal and groovy house.
The Frankfurt local hero can not only be heard at the CSD Frankfurt, the Approved Party of the FLC or Milk n Cream are also among his regular dates. He has a fresh mix of house, tech and deep house with pop and rock gems sprinkled in with a wink.
My name is Enis Özduman, I am 31 years old and come from Gelnhausen. I fell in love with electronic music almost ten years ago and I've been on the decks myself for five years now. I started with deep house and tech house, but for some time now I've been trying to mix both elements with techno and I'm looking forward to playing this sound at the CSD! I'm counting down the days until the event and can't wait, love to all.
The two resident DJs from Rave-Nations e.V. have built up a good reputation in the past for their energetic sets ranging from deep house to techno. They inspire the audience with a captivating mix of melodic and harmonious beats and are sure to get every dance floor shaking with their unmistakable sound.
The topic of tolerance is particularly important to the two of them! For this reason, they are delighted to be able to represent their values at the CSD for the first time this year.
There is a well-known saying that “two are better than one” and this is also how you could describe the artist duo Fra.u.mor. Fra.u.mor stands for none other than the two DJs from the middle of society, Ms. Laura and Francesco Framor. Both have been playing the clubs of the republic for several years and are known in Frankfurt from clubs such as Tanzhaus West, FREUD, Kabinett der Kuriositäten and, of course, Mitte der Gesellschaft. Together they will bring the double sound of the MdG to the CSD, first with a joint disco and house set on the dance stage on Saturday afternoon and then again with more bpm on the main stage.
HMHT (Halb Mensch Halb Techno) is the relatively young project of the artist, who originally hails from the Stuttgart area. He was already able to make a name for himself here at the beginning of the 2010s, playing at venues such as the Zollamt, Lehmann, Romy S. and Climax, to name but a few. Organizing an After Hour for 6 months directly in Stuttgart's city centre is probably also one of the highlights of his DJ career.
After a creative break, he has been back with his new project since last year. As the name suggests, it is all about techno and people.
He is no longer quite as ambitious as he was back then. There are currently no plans for his own after-hours or series of events, as he says himself. He currently has a residency at the “Overdrive” event series (Frankfurt) and the “360 Grad” in Switzerland and would be happy to play one or two more gigs in the Rhine/Main region.
We are looking forward to a journey through the techno genre with him.
