Hi Ravers!
Welcome back to this week’s rave updates! ❤️ It’s officially rave week! If you are going to HARD Summer this weekend - have fun, be safe, and make sure to meet us at our unofficial afters. 🕺
Day 1 we have Techno Tupac and Venessa Michaels alongside a stacked lineup of house & techno artists. Day 2 we have a secret headliner joining us that has played some of the biggest festivals in the world! 🤩
Before we head to the festival, we are throwing a huge sapphic rave in West Hollywood tomorrow night! 🏳️🌈 Think of it as a giant lesbian/sapphic/queer HARD Summer pre-party for the gays! 💘 Grab your rave fam and grab free RSVP and tickets here.
We have lots of fun queer events coming up so make sure to give our new queer instagram page The Sapphic Raver a follow to be the first to know.
Speaking of, we are throwing our first queer day party (and first day party ever??) on August 22nd. ⚡️ Be the first to RSVP here. (RSVP will most likely be limited for this one).
Lastly… Can you keep a secret? 👀 We haven’t announced it yet, but we have something big planned for November!
Our headliner is a massive & internationally known heavy dubstep duo that has over 350 million streams worldwide and has also been supported by artists like ILLENIUM, NGHTMRE, Knife Party, Excision, Subtronics, Wooli, and Crankdat (just to name a few).
Join us for RIOT’s headline show at Dirt Dog Compound this November! Be the first to grab tickets here.
