The coffeeshop rave craze, a current Gen Z favorite, is springing up in cities like Los Angeles, Miami, Toronto and Zurich. These caffeine-fueled day parties are now getting a tail-wagging twist: dogs on the dancefloor.

On May 17th, the Doglateria café in Sydney, Australia teamed up with Spotify to throw the inaugural “Woof Doof,” the country’s first-ever rave designed specifically for dogs. The eatery serves what they call “doglato,” an all-natural gelato for canines with no sugar, preservatives or additives.

Of course, no rave is complete without tunes, so the “Woof Doof” event featured a live DJ who kept the volume between a dog-friendly 55 and 60 decibels.

While the future of Australia’s rave culture remains uncertain, this unique pop-up could mark the start of a new (and adorable) trend in the region.

“Cafés in the area and around the world are playing rave music, so we thought we shouldn’t miss this opportunity,” Doglateria owner Oscar Vallejo told Today.

The free event ran from 9am to noon, with the first 50 pups in line receiving Spotify-themed doggie merch and a gelato treat. Early arrivals also got to enjoy a special take on the classic açaí bowl made with coconut cream, muesli, peanut butter, honey and carob powder.

Amsterdam to Shut Down Major Highway for Massive Audio Obscura Rave

As the home of the world’s leading electronic music summit, ADE, and a longstanding seedbed of rave culture, Amsterdam is no stranger to bold ideas. But closing a major highway for a rave? Even for one of the cultural capitals of dance music, it’s an ambitious endeavor.

On June 21st, Audio Obscura will transform a section of the Netherlands’ A10 Zuid motorway into a one-day-only rave venue, welcoming 5,000 fans to celebrate Amsterdam’s 750th anniversary. The landmark event is part of the wider Festival op de Ring, a 17-kilometer spectacle that will see the A10 closed to traffic and repurposed for a celebration of Dutch art, culture and music.

Known for curating events in unconventional venues like the Rijksmuseum bicycle passage and Concertgebouw, Audio Obscura is one of the city’s foremost champions of its globally revered electronic music scene. The team is now taking over the stretch of highway near the RAI Metro Station, promising nine hours of adrenaline-fueled DJ sets from a slew of artists still to be announced.

CUPRA, the event’s lead partner, has helped make the highway rave free to attend. Fans can register via the Audio Obscura website for a chance to score a ticket when they officially drop at 10am CEST on May 21st.
