The festival kicks off this weekend, September 24, with a techno party featuring Rrose, Aurora Halal, DJ Richard, Xosar and more spinning from 6pm to 6am.

Red Bull Music Academy’s full month of events will also include a roller-disco hosted by Dâm-Funk, a showcase of beloved Montréal electronic label 1080p, and Pauline Oliveros performing in a planetarium.
