RATRACE – HARD LAUNCH A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away… A mischief of rats were banished from their hometown under charges of vandalism, fraud, possession of controlled substances and various public order offences They now wander the streets of Manchester attempting to wreak chaos on the north west And so, RATRACE was born, a space for all the rats out there looking for a safe haven to party Join us for the first edition of RATRACE, a new queer rave sending waves across Manchester serving you some multigenre madness and fast queer beats. We welcome a stacked lineup to Aatma on the 27th September, bringing the likes of Alterum, DJ Girldick, Miss Worldwide, Amex and Princess Bleach into the RatVerse. It’s about to get weird…
