and a legion of homegrown heroes to shake Sydney to its
very foundations. Coming on like an aural battering ram,
this all night event promises to fulfill every hardcore
lover's wildest dreams.
Trying to contain this maniacal mayhem will be the Sydney
Superdome, which has previously witnessed mind-blowing
parties like Godspeed and Utopia. Renown as t he largest
entertainment complex in the Southern Hemisphere, it's
been o verwhelmingly voted by Powerhouse members as their
favourite Sydney venue. Here, all hybrids of hardcore will
find their true home, brought to life by a pulverising,
state-of-the-art sound system and an arsenal of
breath-taking lasers and lights.
