Taking things old school, the guys at Secret City have been busy organising secret raves in abandoned and unique locations around Birmingham. They say that “the emphasis is on stripping back a rave to what really matters most: the music, the people and the vibe” and their aim is to bring back the trouble free environment and hedonistic vibes that made raves famous in the 90s. The most recent rave was a boxing day in an abandoned ex-strip club. Keep a look out on their Facebook page for the third unique, intimate secret party and follow the clues to get there.
