On 14 November 2026, the HipHop Ball Berlin returns for its second edition, reaffirming its ambition to become a permanent highlight on Berlin’s international cultural calendar. Positioned at the crossroads of urban culture, social dialogue, and classic ballroom tradition, the event delivers a powerful message: hip-hop and high society are not contradictions—they elevate one another.
Blending genres, generations, and communities, the HipHop Ball Berlin introduces a bold crossover concept combining music, lifestyle, art, fashion, and live performance within a refined ballroom setting. The event reimagines what a contemporary ball can be – deeply rooted in tradition, yet unmistakably modern and global in spirit.
Hip-Hop as a Cultural Force – Not a Subculture
At the heart of the HipHop Ball Berlin lies a clear perspective: hip-hop is not a niche movement, but one of the most influential cultural forces of our time. The ball creates a new context in which hip-hop culture is experienced – not in opposition to elegance, but in dialogue with it.
As a high-profile social gathering, the event brings together leaders and creatives from culture, community, business, media, and politics, positioning itself as a platform for exchange, visibility, and cultural innovation.
Throwback: The Inaugural HipHop Ball Berlin 2025
The first HipHop Ball took place in 2025 at Berlin’s iconic Rotes Rathaus (Red City Hall) – a venue symbolic of history, power, and civic identity. Guests from across Germany and abroad joined artists, cultural leaders, and industry figures to celebrate the premiere.
One of the evening’s defining highlights was an exclusive, cross-genre performance program featuring more than 150 artists, spanning rap, DJing, breakdance, spoken word, beatboxing, and classical music. A curated graffiti exhibition transformed the venue into a living gallery, while the formal ball atmosphere provided an unexpected yet striking contrast – setting the tone for a new kind of cultural event.

For its second edition on 14 November 2026, the HipHop Ball Berlin evolves its concept while staying true to its most recognizable element: the dress code.
Guests are once again invited to pair formal evening wear with sneakers – ball gowns with trainers, tailored suits with street-style footwear. The look is more than a fashion statement; it visually embodies the event’s philosophy of merging classic elegance with urban identity.
New program highlights and artistic collaborations are set to further expand the experience, reinforcing the HipHop Ball’s position as a forward-thinking cultural format with international appeal.
