Have you heard of Bang Face? It's an outrageous electronic dance music event held in the UK since 2003. Starting as a regular monthly gig in London, it now includes a 3-day weekend at Southport and even a boat party on the River Thames! Additionally, they have guest performances at festivals like Glastonbury. So make sure you check out Bang Face if you want an experience that never fails to get your adrenaline pumping!

As Bang Face celebrated its tenth year in 2013, DJ Mag commended the event for its "perfect blend of old-school rave and contemporary leftfield sounds." In March 2015, Southport Holiday Park hosted the 100th milestone edition of the Weekender. Resident Advisor asked if Bang Face is perhaps "the unique rave out there?", calling it a "Neo-rave utopia."

Bang Face has become renowned for its one-of-a-kind, fun, and creative atmosphere, with inflatables jumping over the crowds, banners displaying humorous statements, and unique dress-up themes. The Observer Magazine recently highlighted the groundbreaking Bang Face movement in a stunning photo immortalizing its influence on contemporary culture!

Time Out London declared that their 2009 Weekender would "make Bestival look like a total snore-fest," highlighting its incredible experience. They feature all types of electronic dance music, making them incomparable to any other event out there!

To make each event special, Bang Face takes inspiration from historical events occurring on the same day. For example, if it coincides with Roger Moore's birthday party, the dress code could be James Bond-themed fancy dress!
