Rumpusidium. The single most outrageous and raucous party molecule to have ever existed. A single drop of this powerful element will make test tubes erupt in billowing clouds shapes like a gigantic disco ball, dousing everything around it in kaleidoscopic colour, strobing lights and syncopated sounds.
King Punch will be firing atoms of pure music into your earholes in the Main Room joined by our favourite madder-than-mad scientists of sound, Buffo’s Wake.
Crash, bang and fuse your way through seven rooms over three floors packed to the brim with DJs, VJs, bands, artists and performers. Put on your lab coat, enter the Electrowerkz Lab and party the night away with all the madness, all the mayhem, and all the magic that’s made Rumpus London’s favourite indoor festival.
