Berlin, June 23, 2025 – The first-ever HipHop Ball in Berlin will take place on November 15, 2025, at the historic Rotes Rathaus in the heart of Berlin-Mitte – with strong support: Uber joins as the official presenting partner of the event.
With this partnership, Uber is sending a clear signal in support of cultural initiatives rooted in community, equality, diversity, and solidarity. The HipHop Ball is more than a traditional event – it’s a platform that builds cultural bridges, opens new perspectives, and empowers the next generation. These are values that Uber shares.
“It is essential for us to support cultural and social projects that actively shape urban life and make a positive contribution to the city’s diversity. The HipHop Ball is an innovative format that uses the power of culture to bring people together and foster talent. We are proud to be part of this unique moment,” says Christoph Weigler, Uber’s General Manager for Germany.
The collaboration between Uber and the HipHop Ball highlights the importance of cultural engagement and long-term talent development. By blending art, music, and urban lifestyle, the Ball creates an environment where creativity is celebrated and emerging talent is uplifted.
On November 15, 2025, more than 100 artists from the fields of music, urban dance, street art, and DJing will join a vibrant and diverse audience to bring the HipHop Ball to life inside Berlin’s Rotes Rathaus. As the official presenting partner, Uber is not only supporting the event, but actively shaping it. Their involvement goes far beyond classic sponsorship. Uber is helping implement targeted solutions to make the Ball’s core values – community, diversity, and youth empowerment – tangible and visible.
This includes tailored mobility solutions for artists and guests, as well as collaborative content development: social media reels, urban storytelling, and engaging digital formats in the run-up to the event.
At the venue, Uber will be present with creative branding and cultural activations – not as advertising space, but as an integrated part of a shared cultural experience. A special focus will be placed on uplifting new voices in the “World of HipHop” ballroom: together with the HipHop Ball, Uber will create space for young talent that is often overlooked in traditional cultural institutions, fostering representation and visibility.
Together with the HipHop Ball, Uber is demonstrating that culture needs strong partners – not just those who follow, but those who co-create.
About the HipHop Ball
The HipHop Ball is more than an event – it’s a transformative stage where urban culture becomes visible in new and inspiring ways. As a platform for creative expression, it builds bridges across worlds, connects generations, and opens space for artistic dialogue. HipHop is a driving force of our time – a living conversation between music, art, and movement. This global forum brings together artists and creatives from across disciplines to learn, inspire, and grow together. Its crossover identity stands for cultural freedom, innovation, and creativity – showing how the fusion of tradition and modernity can create truly unforgettable moments. The vision comes to life in three major performances: a ceremonial opening, an electrifying midnight act, and a powerful final dance.
