Are you fleeing the frenzy of the New Year Sales, or fighting your way through dry January?
Fear not! We at Rumpus have the perfect solution. A dance-floor filled with all your flight or fight fantasies – except, perhaps, *those* ones.
We welcome back to the decks our favourite energiser DJ Rockit Riyad, giving it more than his all down in the Bass & Beats Ballroom.
Pop in on those Piratical Party People, Captain’s Beard who’ll be dishing up galley-pots of toe-tapping numbers with a sea-faring twang in the Balkan Roast Room.
Then check out Frd Blk and Prada the French Invader playing back to back in the Main Room with their new project Melted Sound SyStM that’ll keep you moving through to dawn.
Flit from fanciful to dancing full of joy and joust in the slips of outrageous and frolicsome fortune, displayed in the magical, musical, mystical, mayhem that is Rumpus!
Seven rooms over three floors packed to the brim with DJs, VJs, bands, artists and performers. Come dance away the dark and start the year with all the vivacity and verve that only Rumpus can truly deliver.
Tickets go on sale Friday – yes FRIDAY – 10th January. Just because we thought it’d be easier on all you celebratory Creatures to have a little more time to get back on your feet and recover from the holidays.
