about
WIRE FESTIVAL returns to Knockdown Center for its second edition, May 19-20, 2023. Reprising its core themes of community, conversation and world-class techno, the programming includes two nights of exceptional DJs, collaborations with the underground’s leading collectives, thought-provoking panel discussions and stunning art installations. Stage 1 will be in Knockdown Center’s atrium, a sprawling and magnificent hall. The lineups for Stage 2 have been arranged in collaboration with two collectives whose names are synonymous with defiantly queer underground rave culture: Herrensauna and Fast Forward. This year we’re partnering with Resident Advisor for a free discourse program of talks and workshops. More details will be revealed next month.
