The event is set to be a really immersive experience, with Richard and the team going all out on decoration, creating the theme ‘People are strange: an end of year carnival of sights and sounds’.
Richard, who is the President of War Child University of Liverpool, said: “We tried to pick bands and DJs that reflect some of the great nights out that us and our friends have had in Liverpool over our time at uni. I mean, if you don’t know who Venus Demilo are yet, you need to get out more!
“We are also really stoked to have Josh from Melodic Distraction and Andrew from Abandon Silence on board, who both help organise some of the best and most respected club nights in the city!”
