Matt and Alex's 5 Raves in 5 Days arrives as the duo's podcast, which has been running on LiSTNR since 2020, receives a fresh coat of paint.

Both Matt and Alex are keen to hit the dancefloor, with Alex saying, "For far too long raves have been the domain of the young and energetic. We want to prove that while millennials might not be able to own a house, we still 100% own the dancefloor."

Matt adds, "Book the babysitter, grab a new pair of speed dealers from the servo sunnies rack and prepare yourself for 5 Raves in 5 Days. We’re pumped to be announcing some unbelievable acts to join us on tour."

Catch Matt and Alex's 5 Raves In 5 Days at Jive on Sunday 1 November. Tickets on sale now via 5raves5days.com.au.
