Music, stars and entertainment: Berlin is ringing in the new year with a huge open-air party at the Brandenburg Gate.
In the past, the New Year's Eve party at the Brandenburg Gate was considered one of the biggest New Year's Eve parties in the world. A special highlight is the spectacular fireworks display at midnight. It is not yet known whether and in what form the New Year's Eve party will take place in 2024. According to initial information, this year's celebration will have capacity for around 65,000 people. Further information on admission, the program and capacities will follow closer to the event.
Tickets for the New Year's Eve celebration at the Brandenburg Gate are available from November 14, 2024. Regular tickets for the party cost 20 euros. This fee will be used to finance the security concept, among other things. Each person can buy a maximum of six tickets for the party at the Brandenburg Gate. The number of tickets will probably be limited again.
At 8:15 p.m. on December 31, German TV channel ZDF will broadcast the live show "Welcome 2025" directly from the New Year's Eve celebrations at the Brandenburg Gate. The show will be hosted by Andrea Kiewel and Johannes B. Kerner. The broadcast ends at 0:45 am.
For security reasons, there will be identity checks at the entrance again this year. Fireworks of any kind are strictly prohibited. All pointed and sharp objects, as well as objects that can be used as weapons, may also not be taken onto the event area. The same applies to larger backpacks and bags, glass containers and cans as well as selfie sticks and professional camera and sound equipment.
Please note: Berlin.de and BerlinOnline GmbH are not the organizers of the celebrations at the Brandenburg Gate. The party is organized by DEAG Deutsche Entertainment AG.
