Sat May 12 Code Red
Ruby's Birthday and Total Shitshow
Code Red: Ruby's Birthday and Total Shitshow! Punk, Metal, Hardcore, Gabber! Code Red is an annual 'rave'. Nobody remembers how it started or why it's called Code Red. Something to do with medics, firefighters, first responders, and some redhead's birthday. Anyone who claims they've been to it in the past is lying or delusional. Survivors are rare and they remember nothing. This year it strives to hit a new low - punk and metal bands have been added to the usual line up of rave DJs.
