Area 51 Party

Overview

America's supposed home of little green men has been getting a significant amount of attention lately, all thanks to a joke proposition to storm the highly classified US Air Force base. If you've always wondered what goes on at Area 51, have more than a little interest in extraterrestrials and would rather put your efforts into dancing, then there's an alternative to playing along with the highly publicised gag. Instead, Brisbanites can head to The Valley Drive In's Area 51 Party.

Being held on the same date as the satirical US raid, this three-hour celebration will scratch your otherworldly itch with a combination of out-of-this-world theming, a UV light show and plenty of tunes, all taking over the venue's huge outdoor stage. Sure, it's not the middle of the desert, but doesn't embracing this kind of shindig require more than a little bit of imagination?

Fittingly, there'll also be a Daft Punk appreciation set, because who better to dance to at this type of party? An Alien vs Predator DJ set might just be on the cards — and if it comes down to a battle, we think the xenomorph will mean business.
