A sober rave is coming to Dublin this month so that people can experience the atmosphere of a club scene without alcohol or drugs.
Hosted in The Complex arts centre in Smithfield, 'Club Loosen' is taking over with a lineup of DJ's on April 8 for a rave like no other as there will be no drugs or alcohol on the night.
The event will be "fun ravey-vibe energy for people that want to enjoy themselves without using drugs or alcohol."

The event just wants people to let loose and not be hyper focused on what they look like or what other people think. A spokesperson from the rave said: "When you are in your bedroom dancing to a song you love, you aren’t concerned about how you dance, movement and dance just happens and unfolds out of you — if there is a goal that’s it."
Irish DJ Sinead Bailey Kelly otherwise known as 'minikimono' will be kicking of the rave with her set playing from 7 to 8pm. Marcus O Laoire will be on from 8 to 9pm and R.Kitt will be closing the show playing from 9 to 10pm.
Although the rave is advertised as a sober event, organisers have also put out this disclaimer: "the party isn’t anti-substance use in general, it understands they can be fun and freeing, however this event wants to promote rave energy without the need for alcohol/drugs."
Th event is for over 18s only, tickets are €20, and can be bought on Eventbrite.
