🌟 THE RAVE 🌟 :  From Kiki to a concert, as the night progresses, lose yourself in the urgent, current and spectacular music of our stellar DJ lineup curated in collaboration with the fantastic noisemakers AMBIEN. We’re thrilled to announce that the legendary MIKEQ will be headlining our rave! Known for his massive impact on the ballroom and vogue scenes, MIKEQ hails from New Jersey and has been a driving force in bringing ballroom culture to the mainstream.

Joining our lineup is Brooklyn-born Jasmine Infiniti, the self-proclaimed Queen of Hell, delivering a powerful mix of thundering techno, house, and experimental hip-hop. Also gracing the TRINITY stage is Toronto’s DJ duo, REDLINERS. They made massive moves last summer with an incredible Boiler Room set and have built a strong reputation in Toronto’s burgeoning electronic music scene.

Dress Code: The theme is TRINITY! You may want to come as The Chosen One or you may want to arrive with an esoteric, otherworldly flair. Either way, come dressed to express! Think bold, think fabulous, think you at your most extra.

Tell your friends, tell your family, and tell everyone who loves a good party. The Trinity Ball & Rave is where you want to be to close out the 2024 BUMP Festival in radical style.
