Rave Curious? Jessica Audiffred @ Otherworld
Have you always wanted to check out a rave… but didn’t know where to start?
This is your chance.
Whether you're a seasoned headbanger or completely new, we’d love to have you out.
On April 11, Jessica Audiffred is taking over Otherworld — and this is *not* your typical venue. It’s a massive immersive art space filled with surreal rooms, hidden passages, and interactive exhibits… and for this show, almost all of it is open.
So you’re not just going to a concert — you’re stepping into an environment:
🎧 A high-energy bass set that you *feel*
🌀 A labyrinth of trippy, explorable art spaces
👯♂️ A group to go with so you’re not figuring it out alone
You can lose yourself in the crowd, disappear into another room, find something completely unexpected, and then come back right as the drop hits.
No pressure, no “right way” to do it — just explore, move, and take it in at your own pace.
📍 Otherworld, Columbus
🗓 April 11
🕙 Doors open at 10:15 PM (music does not start in the exhibit space until 10:30 PM.)
If you’ve been even a little curious about what this scene is like, this is one of the most unique ways to experience it.
RSVP if you’re in 👇
There’s no cost to attend with the group—just the event ticket for Otherworld. Tickets are $40, plus some fees 🙄.
You can use code "BassBuds" or "Bangers" for $5 off, which makes it \~$43 out the door.
