Overview

Re-live the energy of 90's RAVE CULTURE at the BPM club in a beat-fuelled, sweat-soaked immersive dance-theatre experience.

Experience the raw energy of 1990s Northern Ireland. BPM is a visceral collision of contemporary dance and a thumping DJ set, immersing you in the era-defining spirit of the acid house generation.

At the height of the conflict, the dance floor was a crucial sanctuary—a neutral ground where the outside world faded. In the sweat-soaked darkness of the underground, pulsating basslines forged a melting pot where political and religious divisions dissolved. This was more than a party; it was a ritual of rebellion and a pure act of human connection.

Step into the BPM Club and transport yourself straight back to the heart of 90s rave culture. This is a full-scale nightclub experience where you can get up close with the cast and lose yourself in a sea of old-school bangers.


If you spent your nights at The Arena, Lush!, or Shine, this is for you. You were the generation that changed history; now, it’s time to re-live that energy. Need to tidy up for city specific

Brought to you by OTR and Choreographed by Eileen McClory, renowned for her high-octane and engaging dance theatre.

**The After- Party
The energy doesn't stop when the performance ends. Your ticket includes bonus extra time immediately following the performance to dance and hang out. Enjoy a final 45 mins set of curated music and grab a drink.

BPM is an immersive, high-energy experience designed to transport you back to the 90s rave

scene. To ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable night, please note the following:

● THE SETTING: This is a fully standing show with a 60-minute duration. We encourage

you to move and dance with the cast, so comfortable footwear is highly recommended.

● THE ATMOSPHERE: The show features strobe lighting, haze, and high-volume music throughout. Earplugs will be available at the box office for those who need them.
