With more and more raves popping up every day, there’s no doubt creative thinkers will come up with some unusual and unique rave locations.
Some locations are very appealing, others will leave you scratching your head. If you were going to throw a rave, where would your location be?
Here’s a list of some unusual rave locations:
Lancaster UK Sewers
In March of 2017, at least 200 people were at risk when UK party-goers were lead to an underground rave located at the mouth of the Ousebourn sewer tunnels. The rave was shut down after individuals attending the party called police with concern for their health. The organizers really must of wanted that “underground rave” feel, this has to be one of the most unusual rave location.

Located on the Avenues of America at West 20th St in New York, this church turned venue was instantly infamous and known as “Limelight”. Opening back in 1983, this former Episcopal Church in the Chelsea neighborhood was host to the “Church Rave” which gave party-goers an eerie yet attractive experience. Eventually closed by police, this unusual party destination most certainly turned some heads.
DJ Magda’s Hot-Air Balloon Set
When thinking of a hot-air balloon, would you ever in your wildest dreams think of a DJ? Taking place 2000 meters above Zurich, Polish DJ and producer Magda took 15 lucky guests on the ride of their lives. What makes it even more of a unique and unusual experience are the 360 degree cameras and a virtual reality option provided by MDRNTY. Could this be the start of something new?
