AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 RAVES

Around the World in 80 Raves was Channel 4’s outrageous, high-octane journey into the heart of America’s underground party scene. Five British strangers boarded a battered bus and hit the road across the USA, diving deep into the most hedonistic, off-the-map raves the country had to offer. From desert full-moon gatherings to neon-lit warehouse parties, the series captured raw youth culture in all its sweaty, euphoric, chaotic glory. With no script, no limits and no idea what came next, it became a cult hit, a mad, messy, unforgettable celebration of freedom, rebellion and the universal language of dance.
