SATURDAY NIGHT The 3rd Annual Mushroom Ball
Get ready for the weird and wonderful, a psychedelic sensory experience featuring things that glow, move, tickle the senses, make your body groove and your eyeballs tingle.
Expect the best of house, techno, psytrance and electronica injected into your earholes from Tricky and Still Thinking coming through from the mighty Mt Maunganui, and Dark Johnny bringing the other side of his Janus to stimulate your auditory sensors.
With a feast of things that glow, move, light up, transform and dazzle, you will be grinning like a Cheshire cat through a looking glass. Dress up is not only encouraged but expected.
Bring your weird, and your best behaviour
