Fleetmac Wood Leather & Lace Disco
Not a tribute, but a rave and AV show that reworks the classic-rock sound of the Mac into a spectrum of electronic genres. Remixes of the hits and plenty of deep-cuts ready for the chiffon-filled dance floor. This is a tunnel-visioned, all-night journey.

Adulti-Verse Neon Toga
Trade your ivy wreath for a glow stick and your chalice for a red Solo cup. Neon Toga is here to resurrect an ancient tradition with a dose of metamodern maximalism.

Featuring a neon body paint demonstration by Mythica Blessyng (Skin Wars season one).

Bartees Strange
Bartees Strange was raised on fear. His family told scary stories to teach life lessons, and at an early age, Strange started watching scary movies to practice being strong. The world can be a terrifying place, and for a young, queer, Black person in rural America, that terror can be visceral. “Horror” is an album about facing those fears and growing to become someone to be feared. Guest act: Sloppy Jane.

Florist
On “Jellywish,” Florist invite listeners to question everything—to imagine a world where magic, surrealism, and the supernatural are our companions in day-to-day life.
