Montreal – Looking for a warehouse or industrial space for a proper DIY rave
Hey everyone,
I'm one of the organizers behind a local electronic music collective in Montreal, and I'm hoping someone here might be able to point us in the right direction.
One of the biggest challenges we've faced over the years is finding a venue where people can genuinely dance until the morning on a proper sound system. Between noise restrictions, liquor laws, and venue limitations, it's becoming harder and harder to create the kind of experience that made so many of us fall in love with this scene.
We've been fortunate enough to organize events in different venues around Montreal, and we recently had the privilege of curating a night at the legendary Stereo Montreal. But lately, I keep coming back to the idea of doing something completely different: a proper DIY warehouse rave.
We're looking for a warehouse, industrial building, or unique space within about 30 minutes of Montreal that could potentially host this kind of event. Ideally, somewhere where we could build the experience from scratch, bring in a serious sound system, and create something that feels raw and authentic.
I know these places aren't usually advertised publicly, and I completely understand if people don't want to post locations openly. If anyone has any leads, knows someone who owns a suitable space, or has experience organizing events in this type of venue, I'd really appreciate it if you could send me a DM.
Would love to hear any ideas or advice.
Thanks ❤️
