About

In the 1990s, Manchester's Bowlers Exhibition Centre was a cornerstone of the UK's rave culture, hosting events that drew thousands of dance music enthusiasts. The venue's expansive 84,000-square-foot space provided an unparalleled atmosphere and became home to iconic events like Helter Skelter, Life, Asylum, Compulsion, Fantazia, and many more, solidifying its legacy as a central hub for the era's vibrant rave scene.

🗓 On Bank Holiday, May 2, 2026, we recreate the biggest and most authentic 10-hour Manchester rave reunion in history!

Spanning four arenas with a full 90s fairground experience, it features over 60 artists who shaped the 90s rave scene, covering genres from Hardcore, Old Skool, and Jungle, to Classic DnB, House, Acid, Gabber, and Techno 🔊

MCR Forever at Bowlers Exhibition Centre promises to transport us back to the golden age of rave-a movement that defined a generation!
