Over 500,000 of techno music fans flocked to the German capital Saturday for the annual Love Parade. Under this year's motto "Love Rules," the parade culminated at the city's landmark Victory Column, close to the Brandenburg Gate, with programs running late into the night from top deejays such as Felix Da Housecat, Pete Tong and Love Parade founder Dr Motte.
