Rave On Avon announce opportunity for DJs to play at 16 hour rave

By Miles Arnold  Friday May 5, 2023

The Thirteen Edition of Bristol’s infamous 16-hour rave is back.

This year, Rave On Avon is taking over Old Market with a massive line-up of nearly 50 acts. Headlining is Bristol DnB legend Krust, supported by Dave Angel, one of the UK’s pioneering techno legends, and two upcoming stars, Mia Lily and Prozak to showcase the multigenre festival.

ROA are also running a competition with Bristol24/7, offering aspiring DJs the opportunity to play a main stage set at the rave. To be in with a chance of winning a set, all DJs need to do is share an Instagram reel/tiktok of them DJing (2 minutes max) to their Instagram story, and tag @raveonavonofficial and @bristol247. Winners will be announced the week of the party.

The event organiser, Lee Pattison, said: “We are doing an all day and night takeover in Old Market for the first time, centring around The Trinity Centre with a big soundsystem in the gardens and DJs inside the main hall. We also have Pizzarova and La Panza serving amazing food all day.

Over at Lost Horizon you can find Bristol’s favourite house and queer brands all day long and a very special techno afterparty long into the night. And of course, other garage, bass, jungle and DnB after parties in venues around the area.

One wristband gets you into both The Trinity Centre and Lost Horizon in the day and separate afterparty tickets are now available on Headfirst.”
