Roller Rave 01

Overview

Rave culture meets the roller rink at Roller Dance Australia's first-ever Roller Rave, where getting your skates on and dancing to DJ-spun tunes is on the agenda. You'll glide, you'll make shapes and you'll feel like you've been transported back to the 90s. And no, this isn't just a roller disco under another name — because recreating the rave vibe is one of the event's number-one aims.

Behind the decks: DJ Phil Smart, who was indeed helping get raves pumping three decades back. To provide the soundtrack, he'll be joined by DJ Void and Truffles Bootcamp. And while they spin live sets, the visuals will also throw it back like you're in a warehouse in the era of classic flicks Go and Human Traffic.

It's all going down from 6–11pm on Saturday, January 20 at Northshore Brisbane's Superordinary, with entry costing $30 and pre-booked skate hire on top setting you back another $5. No matter your skating level, or if you just want to dance without strapping on wheels, everyone is welcome.

And as well as a roller rink and a dance floor, there'll be a skate ramp, a graffiti wall and an art exhibition, plus food options.
