If you've been to HYPERSTITION, you know how it feels to dance in a packed, sweaty cellar to thumping bass and euphoric beats.

If you've been to WHIPLASH, you know how it feels to commune in the pit as queer hardcore bands tear the venue down.

We are so, so excited to bring you the long-awaited collab between these iconic Oxford nights, for one time only: WHIPLASH x HYPERSTITION DAY RAVE.

An afternoon + evening of edgy, noisy electronic music, with DJ sets and live acts, to revel in community & catharsis as we sweat, scream and dance.
