WELCOME
TO HYPERSPEED GOLD 2
Hyperspeed is one of the longest running Dance party series in Sydney, having
reached the pinnacle of all night entertainment with the massive
HYPERSPEED GOLD SERIES in November 2002 and
HYPERSPEED ATRIUM in November, 2003. Since
then we have brought the event back to a more intimate environment, with the
first HYPERSPEED UNDERGROUND last February.
If you can remember the amazing
HYPERSPEED GOLD SERIES, you will remember we
pioneered a night filled with 6 of the best Happy Hard Internationals. Now in
2006 we are once again offering a staggering international lineup of Happy
Hardcore acts, backed up by Sydney's premier party talent. We have confirmed a
fully intense, fully legal, fully licensed inner city venue, the magnificent
METRO THEATRE. This will be one of the most amazing Hyperspeed events ever,
and will once again show why we have the abilities to create the best and
wildest Open Age events in Australia. HYPERSPEED GOLD 2
is here! THE METRO
THEATRE
With a comfortable capacity for over 1,300 people, this 3 area monster is
located in the centre of the City, right on George St. The main arena holds
around 1,000 and features a tiered dance platform so everyone can see the
madness on the main stage. A second Over 18 arena allows for a more intimate
group of 300 to dance and drink, while the third area, the Lobby, allows for a
quiet area to chill and chat. We are proud to offer Sydney punters with the
first ever open age event at Metro to feature such a staggering lineup of
International and Local talent. We are putting in 110% effort for this event to
both guarantee a sell out, and to supply every punter with the night of their
lives, or at least close to it.
Why the strange Start and
Finish time?
Normally our events run from say 10pm-6am, but this event will run from 8pm-3am.
This is because the license at Metro only allows the venue to run till 3am, even
for the over 18 events. We believe some people will be put off by this early
finish time, and won't come to Hyperspeed, and that's fair enough. However, with
our capacity set at 1,300 and our previous events selling 2-3 x that, we think
we'll have enough interest in this event to attract a sell out crowd. Remember,
we're only losing 1 hour of total party time as we are starting at 8pm, and
really, a 3am finish could lead to a mad morning watching the sun come up in
Hyde park or down at the Rocks (more on that online).
