Chocolate Groove - Toronto

FULL MOON - LIONS GATE OUTDOOR ECSTATIC DANCE PARTY ACTIVATION

TICKETS ---

The Chocolate Groove has got you covered for the epic power-up of the 8-8 Lion’s Gate with a truly special event as we activate our love power to roar!

We are pleased to announce that we will start our weekly festivities off with something unique as we welcome the extraordinary mystical musician Mitsch Kohn coming all the way from Germany for his first time touring in Canada. Mitsch has been wowing audiences in Europe and around the world for many years with some of his songs now reaching millions. Mitsch’s concerts feature his brilliant intuitive piano playing which tenderly opens our hearts and activates a soul journey, with also his impassioned singing. Mitsch will be joined by Darren Austin Hall who will also be returning from his own Europe Tour and adventures. Together, they will initiate our sacred night together with a special mystical concert called SONGS OF SOUL for a fully channeled performance of spiritual music.

Following the high vibrations of their 90 minutes concert, Darren will don his DJ Druid cap to take us on an ecstatic dance adventure, bringing his Temple of the Wild flair, with live vocals, multi-dimensional genres of bombastic beats and wild facilitation to shake our souls into flight. To close things off, our very own Cacaoboy, Jesse Buck, will ride us into the late hours with an awesome set sure to get us into high energy bliss.
This will be a truly special event and we hope you will join us as we activate the Lion’s Gate portal together. Be sure to come for the start and Mitsch & Darren’s beautiful collaboration.
