From poster-strewn bedrooms to pirate radio stations, police headquarters to secret warehouses, you’ll step-into the shoes of rave culture pioneers as you go in search of the party.

Witness this social phenomenon first-hand, in an immersive exhibition and explorable virtual world set at the end of a turbulent decade in the UK. Combining Acid House tracks with interactivity and multi-sensory simulation.

In Pursuit of Repetitive Beats brings to life the stories of the promoters, police officers, and rave-goers, whose rivalries and relationships drove a revolution in music and society.

Set against the backdrop of the Coventry and West Midlands rave scene, the room-scale VR experience brings to life the stories of promoters, police officers, and rave-goers whose rivalries and relationships drove a working-class dance revolution. Experience-seekers will embark on an adventure to find an illegal warehouse party in 1989, reigniting the anticipation, trepidation, excitement, and euphoria that surrounded the Acid House movement. The immersive film celebrates multiculturalism and community through the prism of late 80’s politics and society, showcasing how Acid House broke down social barriers and brought people together to shape a generation.

Book your ticket back to 1989 to share in an experience that shaped a generation; to feel the anticipation, the trepidation, the excitement, and the euphoria, that was Acid House.

In Pursuit of Repetitive Beats is currently touring around the UK and we're delighted to be able to host this immersive experience at Warwick Arts Centre later in 2025.

The exhibition will open on 29 September until 13 October and tickets will be available via the Warwick Arts Centre website in the new year including an exclusive offer for University of Warwick students and staff.
