If Night of the Spirits explored the edges of the world beyond, and Underground Masquerade unleashed the possibilities of our worlds within, RELIGION explores our position between both these worlds - our spiritual connection between the spaces within and beyond; the mysticism of belief and religious experience; the power of transcendental spectacle; the magic of our collectivity.

In a rational world of science and data, we invite you down into our nocturnal sanctuary to immerse yourself in beauty, peace and elegance, and our contemporary take on rituals of the spiritual and divine.
Come rediscover the power of the sacred and unearthly;
come re-engage with the unifying power of worship;
come bathe in the best music, surrounded by majesty,
succoured by the warm glow of the love of our community.


Our central pounding dancefloor will inhabit the mighty central god-lit nave of our Blessed Holy Mother of St. Steel Yard, delivering the most beautiful, ecstatic music on this planet (amidst a specialist array of 40 divine new lasers we're bringing in). Our cathedral will be headlined by the awesome Amsterdammer MIss Melera alongside an all-female DJ pantheon of incredible female goddesses (DJs Alicia, Dansor & Nobody's Daughter) while we open a 2nd ambient chapel of celestial sounds for quieter contemplations and interactions (with music from Calemma, ZenG, Onquiet & Nathalia Petkova) - & a pantheon of live musicians and vocalists weave between spaces. 

Uniting all spaces will be our magnificent congregation of over 60 performers and personae - erupting into all ranges of spectacle, and encouraging you into a world of interactions.

Angels will be everywhere amongst us.

Dress Code: Golden, gleaming, radiant; opulent, ornate, outrageous; beautiful & beatific; Catholic or Confucian, Buddhist or Benedictine, Shia or Shinto; Agnostics and atheists, deities and devotees, friars and flagellants, gurus and sadhus, sceptics and shamans, marauding monks and naughty nuns, prophetic pagans and priapic priestesses - all are welcome to come worship within this fleeting temple of the night...

To know that you are God, is another way of saying that you feel completely with this universe. You feel profoundly rooted in it and connected with it. You feel, in other words, that the whole energy, which expresses itself in the galaxies, is intimate. It is not something to which you are a stranger, but it is that with which you, whatever that is, are intimately bound up. That in your seeing, your hearing, your talking, your thinking, your moving, you express that which it is that moves the sun and other stars.

(Alan Watts)
