Barcelona, the gay capital of the Mediterranean, will host the 5th edition of Loveball, the most important gay, lesbian and transsexual festival in Europe.

In previous Loveball editions in Barcelona and Brussels we united more than 32.000 gays and lesbians. But every year our event gets bigger and this year is no exception. In 2008 Loveball will be bigger, last longer and have even more parties. And our production team also plans to outdo themselves and promises to bring you a series of parties and events that are visually stunning and unlike anything you have seen before.
