The Mission to Seafarers Victoria, with its sandstone walls, stained glass windows and domed ceilings, will provide the backdrop for what organisers describe as a journey through time and space. Rave In The Church will utilise the venue’s architectural features to create immersive environments spanning indoor and outdoor spaces.
The event will feature four activated spaces, each offering different atmospheres and sounds. The Main Stage will serve as the central hub for high-energy performances, while The Dome promises a 360-degree underground experience within the building’s architectural centrepiece. An outdoor Hidden Courtyard Garden will provide fresh air alongside fresh sounds, complemented by an Open Air Courtyard space for attendees to reset under the stars.
Beyond music, Rave In The Church will incorporate visual arts through The Chapel, which will be transformed into an art sanctuary featuring curated installations, makeup artists and painters. The event promises live performers and face painters throughout the venue.
Eat The Beat, established in 2017, has built a reputation in Melbourne’s electronic music scene through collaborations with international brands including Circoloco, Elrow and Resistance. The collective has previously hosted international artists such as Loco Dice, Hot Since 82 and Enrico Sangiuliano across venues in Melbourne and internationally.
The organisers emphasise that tickets for Rave In The Church are extremely limited, with the event focusing on pure techno and tech house across all four spaces.
