Darklands is all-encompassing and welcomes every tribe. That means your high point will probably depend on whether you are a puppy, sports fan, or rubber pig. The centrepiece which is the election of the new Mr Leather Belgium and is why Darklands/Leatherpride was initially established. But it’s the annual Mr Puppy Europe title event which is the final contest of the weekend, and its climax. In fact, Darklands hosts the biggest annual gathering of Pups anywhere in the world. Make sure you visit Camp K9 over the weekend to see all the fun and games before the dogs take over the main stage on Sunday. Other contests set for 2020 include Mr Bootblack Europe and Mr Superhero Europe. A big change in 2020 will be the move of the X-Awards from Sunday afternoon to Friday night and the addition of new categories. The X-Awards are the world’s most prestigious fetish awards and will be the main pre-club Friday night attraction. It’s a gala sit-down event which will be attended by the great and good from every fetish tribe.
