Fresh off 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.
