AREA15 ANNOUNCES 2024 SERIES OF IMMERSIVE RAVES, MULTI-VENUE MASSIVES
This Year’s First Mini-Festival Massive to be We’re All Mad Here Headlined by Global Sensation Charlotte de Witte
Following the successful resurgence of Massives in 2023, AREA15 announces its lineup of entrancing multi-venue, mini-festival parties for 2024. Originally emerging in the late 1990s as a term for colossal rave-style events, Massives are a hybrid between typical concerts and over-the-top festival experiences – a place where music, art, performance and spectacle collide. This year’s themes include We’re All Mad Here – a psychedelic Mad Hatter’s Tea Party to be headlined by global sensation Charlotte de Witte – as well as Secret Garden, Galactic Zoo and ScAREA15.
In 2024, Massives will continue to include new, rave-resurgence additions, including enveloping entertainment and roaming performers; specialty food and beverage offerings; thousands of guests decked out in costume; special activations and experience areas; and multiple stages featuring DJs, electronic artists and other performers across an array of musical genres.
“AREA15 is ushering in a new era of experiential wonder and entertainment, and attendees will have the opportunity to transcend the ordinary and create lasting memories,” said Noah Kessler, head of entertainment, AREA15. “We’re ready to ignite the imaginations of our visitors once again with 2024’s lineup of unforgettable Massives.”
All Massives include entry to AREA15, live performances across multiple stages and venues, spirited performers and characters, as well as interactive art and photo installations.
