A trio of hardcore party people. A three-day rave jammed into 60 chaotic minutes. One electrifying non-stop dance performance.
Fresh from mesmerising Australian audiences and completing an astonishing 23-show season in Edinburgh, this award-laden crowd favourite returns home for a triumphant encore.
If you’ve not yet heard the word of mouth, the hypnotic brilliance of The Butterfly Who Flew Into The Rave lies in its test of endurance and the pure spectacle of watching these intrepid ravers dance themselves into techno oblivion. It’s the ultimate tribute to the pain, sweat, and bodily catharsis of surrendering to the music and your passion for it all.
RAVING OVATION - Saturday 14 March, immediately following the performance
Stay for Raving Ovation, a post-show takeover of the Rangatira stage where the encore is the rave itself. Step out of your seat and onto the stage. Sweat, bass, bodies in motion. Local DJ icons take the decks as we send this victory lap into the night.
This is your invitation to dance it ALL OUT.
The rave runs until 12.00am. Two bars will be open — one on the dance floor and one in the foyer if you need a moment to cool off before diving back in.
Open to all patrons with a valid ticket to The Butterfly Who Flew Into the Rave from any of the three performance dates. Your show ticket is your entry — no extra pass required.
Conditions of entry:
Dance floor capacity is limited and will be managed throughout the event.
