design is "ok", has a few visuals that are missing. especially when you refer to the Loveparade, i'd expect pictures, definitely! Audio and eventually video.
The header/banner makes me feel like i need to visit with my optometrist,..oh wait!, it's not me...it's your header.

You know what i mean....
While the site and it's content isn't bad, the nav bar is catastrophic! To actually click on an item in the drop down is more of a challenge than i've ever seen before. This may be browser related? (Firefox/2.0.0.6)
Other than that, some color would be useful, that can be achieved with pictures, though.
Where's the FavIcon?
Overall:
Not bat at all, just needs some elements to give the site more dynamic.
