Italy is about to witness an earthquake on November 18th. To be specific, the hypocenter of it will be in Padova. But do not worry, there’s no need to ring the alarms because the reason behind the ground being shaken up is none other than more than 15.000 people dancing and having the time of their lives at the first Italian elrow XXL to the rhythm of Claptone, James Hype, Alan Fitzpatrick, Chris Liebing and many more. And despite not having to wear a helmet, you should still prepare for what’s to come. So just in case this is your first elrow, here are 6 things you need to do:
Dive into elrow’s multiverse
elrow is renowned for its electrifying electronic music events that seamlessly blend music, art, and an incredible atmosphere to craft a unique party experience. To date, they have curated 18 different themes (with more to come!), ensuring that each event offers an entirely distinct immersive experience. From a colossal pirate ship that swaps cannons for powerful sound systems to a vibrant journey through a Sambodromo do Brasil, reimagined with a rave twist, or even an enchanting exploration of the world of the renowned visual artist Okuda. Stepping for the first time into a venue where elrow is taking over is a synonym for a jaw-dropping core memory.
Dress to impress, but never not comfortable
As you can guess at this point, elrow parties are famous for their extravagant atmospheres. Before attending, check the event details to see if there’s a specific theme announced for that particular party. Dressing up according to the theme is not mandatory, but it adds to the fun and connects you with the vibrant elrow spirit. From wild animals to outer space, elrow themes are diverse and exciting. Despite this being a great opportunity to showcase your best party outfits, don’t forget that you’ll be dancing for many hours, possibly even in an outdoor setting. So, make a wise choice when selecting your footwear to ensure you’re prepared for what lies ahead.
PS: If you’re fortunate enough to attend elrow’s XXL edition in Padova on November 18th, you won’t have just one, but two exciting themes to look forward to. Hint: Get ready to dance among pirates and zombies!
Look for action outside the DJ booth too
elrow events are not just about music; they are immersive experiences that include theatrical performances, acrobats, extravaganza, confetti cannons, and more. Be ready to be part of a wild, high-energy show that goes hand in hand with the music. Don’t be surprised if you find a parade of colorful characters dancing beside you on the dancefloor, dancers hanging from the roof, or even the main character, Rowgelia, crowd surfing on an inflatable boat.
Do your homework: know who’s playing
While elrow is primarily recognized for its electronic dance music, the lineup can encompass a variety of sub-genres, including techno, house, and tech-house. The musical journey is thoughtfully curated to maintain high energy levels throughout the event. Even if you’re not a seasoned electronic music enthusiast, you’ll discover something to groove to within the diverse roster of artists who plug their USBs into the decks. On November 18th, Padova will have the opportunity to experience the mainstage energy brought by James Hype and Mau P, move to the tech-house rhythms of Wade and Claptone, and push the tempo with the hard-hitting kicks of Chris Liebing and Alan Fitzpatrick, among many other yet-to-be-revealed artists!
Approach it as a marathon, not a sprint
elrow parties often last more than your average night out. Even if you’re attending one of their daytime events or a purely clubbing experience, it can end up stretching into the early morning hours, so be prepared for a long-lasting adventure of dancing and entertainment. Stay hydrated, get some rest beforehand, and pace yourself to fully enjoy this musical journey. Keep in mind: 9 hours of non-stop partying should be approached as a marathon, not a sprint!
Traveling soon? Check elrow’s calendar
elrow parties are not limited to a single city or country. From the Caribbean to Egypt, from London to Miami, and from Barcelona to New Caledonia, this Spanish-born brand has taken its unique concept worldwide, with events in major cities around the globe. The atmosphere at elrow is consistently electric, but each location adds its own unique flair and flavor to the party. So, the next time you’re traveling abroad, be sure to check if there’s an elrow event happening nearby, as it provides the opportunity to immerse yourself in an entirely fresh and unique experience.
BONUS: Prepare to return home with some unexpected gifts!
Amidst all the vibrant decorations and extravagance you’ll bump into as soon as you enter the venue, there’s a good chance you’ll encounter various items flying overhead while you’re dancing. From inflatables to costume accessories, you might be fortunate enough to snag a little souvenir to take back with you, serving as a joyful reminder of the fun you had grooving to the beats of international DJs. And believe us, even if you think you’re leaving the party with your pockets empty, there’s one thing you’ll surely find once you come back from any elrow party: confetti in –really– unpredictable places.
By now, it’s clear that elrow parties transcend mere music events; they are immersive, wild, and unforgettable celebrations. Dressing up, witnessing theatrical performances, and grooving to live DJ sets from some of the world’s most renowned artists are all integral to the elrow experience. As this brief guide comes to a close, you should be well-prepared to embrace your first elrow event and fully enjoy the entire experience.
