About the concert
PORTLAND! WE LOVE YOU!
Come EXIST with us!
**Saturday, September 26 • The Watershed • Portland, Oregon**
**8PM–6AM • 30 PNW & WEST COAST DJs • 21+**
## EXIST: WAREHOUSE EXPERIENCE
Brought to you by Rose City Underground (RCU) and The Watershed in collaboration with Exist Festival. And audio support by Miles Airon, Madminds Productions and Ross N' Sauce Collective with Sublemental support from James Yaeger (OregonAudioRentals.com)!
This isnt your commercial EDM.
WE ARE THE UNDERGROUND.
- We’re taking over a proper portland art warehouse and going until sunrise!
- House. Techno. Breaks. Bass. Drum & bass.
- Come dance, wander, get lost for a minute, find your people again and remember why these immersive experiences keep us young and smiling and alive!
- No bottle-service energy. MUSIC that makes you FEEL something! Beats that make you MOVE and SWEAT! Humans that remind you that you EXIST too!
### LINEUP - 30+ DJs!!!
We are beyond honored to announce this heavy hitting underground lineup representing some of the best in the PNW scene - going all night long at The Watershed!
### RAVE NICE. GET WEIRD. EVENT RULES!
- These are dancefloors, where you DANCE and RELEASE all that life stuff that's kept you from EXISTING.
- Phones: We are not a content studio. But take your cute photo. Get the ridiculous group video. Then maybe put the phone away and **actually be here existing with us.**
- We shouldnt have to say this but absolutely no weapons permitted. Our professional and friendly certified security and harm reduction staff will keep you safe, legally, all night long.
- Eyes up. Phones down. Dance however your body wants.
- Flow arts are allowed (LED ONLY), attendees are not allowed to spin fire - sorry! Thank you for existing though! Flow Responsibly!
- And obviously: **Consent is sexy. Boundaries are mandatory. Don't be creepy. Look out for each other.**
- Come dressed however you want. Dazzle our community with your vibes! Dance however you want. Be whoever you are!
- Just respect the humans around you. And we will bring the vibes and the safe space for you to experience the true heat of the PNW Underground!
- PLUR isn’t just old-school rave nostalgia around here — it’s the baseline.
- Queer, trans, BIPOC and other marginalized members of our community deserve to feel safe, celebrated and completely at home on this dancefloor. Everyone exists together here!
- We dont support or tolerate racism. No homophobia. No transphobia. No harassment. No predatory nonsense. Everyone has the right to Exist and Groove with us.
- We’re serious about consent culture, safety and harm reduction and taking care of our peoples. The event is permitted and secured, and if something feels wrong or somebody needs help, please say something. Our security is here to support YOU. And they love the vibe too!
- Peace. Love. Unity. Respect. And 3 really good sound systems. And a Nook Safe Space downtempo chill lounge
### SAVE THE WAREHOUSE
The Watershed just put roughly **$40,000 into renovations and safety/capacity upgrades** to keep this independent art space alive and growing.
So yeah — this party also helps the Watershed continue to bring the next wave of art and underground culture events to Portland, show it love and drink responsibly at their bar!
**Permitted bar 8PM–2AM**
Alcoholic + non-alcoholic drinks available
Bar sales support the venue! Which supports the underground arts, and lgbtq scene of portland.
Independent spaces survive because people actually show up for them.
### TICKETS (21+ Event)
- TIER 1 TICKETS @ $15 ARE ON SALE NOW!
There is a donation option that goes to Watershed as a ticket add-on if you're like incredibly cool and want to see events at Watershed continue & expand! We're pretty sure Deadletter's going to love you for it and lets be honest, he's full of surprises!
- **Re-entry is allowed.**
- Send this to the friend who's always complaining nobody throws proper all-night parties anymore.
