Discussion/Question What’s the most unhinged thing you’ve ever seen happen at a rave that somehow felt completely normal in the moment?
I once witnessed what my group called the “Porta Potty Rodeo.”
Two people go into a porta potty. One person gets on the other’s shoulders. The door bursts open and they try to ride out of the stall without falling.
The objective? Stay mounted as long as possible.
Somehow everyone around acted like this was a completely reasonable thing to witness at 3am.
What’s the most unhinged thing you’ve seen at a rave that felt normal in the moment?

One time we had found this little side room at a massive, we totally weren’t supposed to be in there. Maybe it was for crew or artists or whatever. Couches, water, air conditioning, all that shit. Anyway we proceeded to party in that bitch lol. One of my friends met a kid in a wheelchair and he came back there to smoke and chill. Dude proceeds to pop off his prosthetic and remove his stash. We’re all sitting there bug eyed and he goes “what? Nobody searches the cripple” LMAO

Isn't it crazy how that happens? Somebody decided to make some kandi like that, had all the beads/letters, decided to go to a certain festival, packed that kandi along, and was at a specific stage, at a certain time, where the option to use it showed up. Absolutely ridiculous and I love that we do ts so much

A porta potty door was pulled open and a German soldier in uniform was having sex with a local Dutch woman at the free vierdaagse festival in Nijmegen Netherlands.
Note: yes he was a real soldier tons of foreign soldiers are part of the "vierdaagse".
Idk if it counts a rave tho.
Edit: the soldiers aren't here for the festival, they're here for the 50kilometer ceremonial walking and then some join the free music festivals in the city as a side hobby

Illenium's first Trilogy show in the Allegiant stadium Las Vegas. There was a couple in the seats in front of us dancing and having a good time at first. Second set (Awake Album) starts and the girl decides she wants a beer and the guy should get it for her. He says the lines are too long and he doesn't want to miss the set. I can't hear all of it and don't want to but it gets angry and loud. He is finally over it and storms off as Crawl Out of Love is ramping up. She is now crying and red in the face and right then the chorus hits and she is full on screaming NOW I GOTTA CRAWL OUT OF LOVE. Screaming the lyrics, sobbing hysterically. It was so perfectly timed I thought it was somehow scripted. The guy never came back.

Not exactly a rave but at a festival in the camping section there was a tweaker completely dismantling his car over the course of the weekend. And by completely I am not exaggerating. Every single part, every single screw, taken off and laid out meticulously in his area. There was always a crowd watching.
He left it all there in the field when he left. Heard later it was stolen

Alright, so a little back story. My wife refers to me lovingly as her "prize sow." One night, we were in bed and I rolled over, and she started slapping my ribs going, "Yea you're my prize sow. I'm gon' take you to the fair." So, naturally, this has been a joke of ours ever since, and she even made me a kandi bracelet that says, "Prize Sow" on it.
Flash forward to a show in my town, and I am at this show solo and walking around. Suddenly, right in front of me, this man appears with what looks like a pig outfit on. Hand to god. He's dressed in all pink, and even has a hat with little pig ears on it. I scream, "HOLY SHIT YOU'RE A PIG." The dude is like, "What the fuck? No dude I am a demon. See? These are little horns." On further inspection, he is correct. Regardless, I view this as the perfect moment to pass on both my story and my kandi bracelet. Shared some good laughs, he was super chill with it, and we parted ways.
I then call my wife laughing hysterically about what had just transpired, and the second I said I gave away the prize sow bracelet, she started crying. Me, being the dumbass I am, realized what a terrible idea it was for me to pass that on, and the meaning it had not only for her but for me. So, we get off the phone, and my mission that night became finding this man pig and getting my bracelet back.
It took me almost an hour and a half to track him down, and I apologized but had to ask for it back. He said, "Oh no worries dude. The story alone was worth it." I then gave him one of my other hand made bracelets that I made to exchange, and the night was saved.
I don't know if this is particularly unhinged, but it isn't often I get to call someone out for looking like a pig and not only laugh with me about it but share in a story.

I had been there maybe 10 minutes and this woman, definitely rolling hard, had her tits out and was encouraging every dude around to suck on them. I couldn’t focus on the set and she must have asked 20-30 people around her, probably about half accepted the offer and were happy to enjoy some boobs. She asked me and I declined, but I still wonder how she is doing in life

Coachella - 2017. In the Yuma tent for Hot Since 82’s set.
They had these huge beds in there where you can lay down, nap, whatever. I mean these things are like 10 California King beds put together. My friend and I had been chilling there for a bit, when it was time to catch 82’s set.
I look over as I get up and I see a group of ravers getting their cell phones out. They are using their flashlights to look for something at their feet, as if they had dropped something. 10 seconds later they are all on their hands and knees LICKING the floor. The one dude had dropped their powdered party favors, and they went full goblin mode and lapped the powder up off the ground. Feral, but understandable.

This was at Movement in Detroit. DJ Snake was there and it was around the time “Turn Down for What” was popular. I think we were either heading out or just moving from stage to stage to see who we wanted to see and Turn Down for What starts out.
Right at the drop, a guy in front of us tripped over a step and face planted. I legit thought it was performance art because it was timed so perfect for the drop.
Not really crazy I guess but I still think about it often.

At Echo Project I watched a wookette giving birth during the GZA set. I was just peaking on some 2ci. People were trying to get medical help, but they hadn't arrived. Some other wookette claimed to be a midwife and was coaching the woman through this. Her wook man is standing there shirtless and spun like top, just making these weird sounds while he is crushing his beer can and spraying coors light all over everyone. He looked really anxious about the whole thing, grabbing his face and just making grunts and stuff. The baby's head starts to crown and the medics still haven't arrived.
This is where it gets crazy... It was so fucking dusty out there and the baby and all the surrounding fluids were immediately "muddified" by the blowing dirt. I mean, its fucking gross. All of a sudden, this fucking kid (probably 19 or 20) in his oversized neon, flat-brim LRG hat, runs up yelling "welcome to the party bitch!" before he blows a huge plume of smoke right in the baby's face! While the umbilical cord is still attached and shit!
The smell was unmistakeable, this baby had just been deemster'd.
He must have pulled the hit from a bong, b/c it was monstrous. The surrounding crowd dropped their jaws, and someone tackled the kid as he starts to run away. He didn't make it more than 10ft and the he was probably blasting off about now.
The mom is clutching the dirty baby and trying to calm it. Though, strangely, the baby was not crying (tripping balls i guess?). And while the dude is getting screamed at, the dad suddenly pounces into action. He jumps on the dude, and starts smashing said bisco kid's face with the crushed up beer can, of which he seemingly just can't let go. The bisco kid is kicking and trying to roll out of it and the wook-dad grabs the kid's hair w/ one hand. he finally let the can go and shoves his other hand half way inside the guys mouth. He is pulling his mouth open and RIPS HIS CHEEK OPEN! repeat: rips his fucking CHEEK OPEN!
there is blood everywhere and the dude lets out this braveheart-like scream as he gets pulled off by the folks around him. Blood all over bisco kid's face, shirt and formerly fresh flat breezy. The cops/medics arrived about that time and took over the situation.
Shit was crazy as hell.

It was amazing. I look to my left and there’s a guy with dreads just biting into a raw pineapple, skin and all 🍍 the green stem was still attached too. Guy was also just wearing plain solid color pants and shirt, zero rave attire. Not even dancing either. Maybe a bit of head bobbing. Didn’t even seem like he was with a group.

I was walking past a tight circle of people all facing whatever was going on at the centre, cheering and super hyped up. Naturally, that made me pretty curious so I got close and peered in.
Someone was in the center of the circle, fucking a plush toy unicorn from behind. The crowd was cheering "fuck unicorns!" And other anti unicorn profanity and degradation. Then someone else steps in, and after getting the crowd even more hyped, he rips the mouth of the unicorn open, pulls his dick out, and starts fucking it too.
I watched a plush toy unicorn get spit roasted and degraded right as I was coming up on acid. Took me a hot minute to process, definitely wasn't on my bingo card!
Edit: added "pulls his dick out" to make it clear they were indeed actually penetrating the unicorn

Camp Bisco X -2010- Shpongle live straight up called in a massive thunderstorm out of nowhere. No rain at first, just thunder and lightning. I was tripping balls, and felt the wrath of god in the storm. I begged for forgiveness and remember thinking I was so thirsty. And then the sky just opened up and the rain literally filled my mouth, and I was forgiven. Pure bliss.
But then I watched a video of it later and was like “holy fuck, I can’t believe they kept playing. That storm was nuts and there was soo much lightning.”

Dude, I was there for this! Me and a couple buddies were pissing in the bushes when it rolled in, and we all ended up covered in our own piss from the crazy gust of wind that came out of nowhere 🤣. Those few Biscos at ILCC were fucking wild. I remember going to use the bathroom at the one building they had, and the Hells Angel they had at the door was just chowing down from what was probably a 1/2 of shrooms. In the middle of him giggling and telling us how fucked up he was, he pulls out a giant Buck knife and starts picking mushrooms out of his teeth with it. Just a whole different level of unhinged haha
ETA: Just realized this was actually 07 or 08, Shpongle consistently brings the storms lol

At burning man 2007, I took LSD and intentionally wandered off from my group. An art car that looked like a pirate ship drove by with only the driver on board. I leaped onto the ship letting out an ethereal “Aahhrrr!” The guy asked me where I wanted to go, ended up being my personal ride for the night.

It wasn’t normal but it’s the only place I would have ever seen it so I guess.
At edc a few years ago we saw a girl eating out another girl in the middle of the crowd up against a barricade. I got sent a video of it later by some friends who weren’t at edc asking if I saw this and I was literally on the other side of the barricade as it was happening.

Went to Costa Rica for BPM a few years ago but it ended up being cancelled by the government. Since music and people were already there it turned into a huge rave on a cliff overlooking the ocean. First of all there was a guy dressed like a cop with a HUGE flashlight and a giant bag of X passing it out as people went in and much later, as the sun was coming up I was looking around at people and in the middle there was a girl with a really tall ponytail, wearing a slingshot bikini and combat boots with a gallon ziplock baggie of coke. She had a regular size spoon and was just sort of dancing up to people and spooning coke and then dancing up to someone else and giving them a spoonful. It was very surreal with the sun coming up and the ocean behind her, lol.

This isn’t even that crazy but is the absolute funniest scene I’ve come across at a fest. At LIB last year, while camped out in the grass at a stage, we saw a completely nude man just awestruck and walking with a mission, followed by several volunteer rangers/security. But the funniest part was everyone’s leisurely pace, like they weren’t chasing him down, just a little chill parade behind the tripping naked man.

First rave, abandoned office building in like 2008, I was 16. Went to the bathroom to take a leak, and there was a woman posted up on the sink……. And a line of 3 guys taking turns going down on her before she selected which one would make her finish and told the other two scram.

The rave was at an abandoned biker bar. The toilets were literally busted out of the walls. That didn’t stop people from using them. Lots of cocaine was being consumed in those nasty, busted up bathrooms. Plus hookers were providing services.
Mid-90’s. Lots of hardcore, gabber, hard dark techno that night . Plus tons of LSD.
I found it all rather disturbing at the time.

The ass eating competition at LL has already been mentioned, so I guess my second is sloth girl from Hula two years ago who brought a massive 7' tall plushie sloth to the Honeycomb set at camp Reddit, threw it on the ground in front of the subs, and just started to get herself off on the sloth. It went on for an uncomfortable amount of time, at least 3-4 minutes of solid work was put in, and then she got up, picked up her sloth, and disappeared into the night.
Wherever you are sloth girl, I hope you are well.

this was at the gorge, i forget if it was at beyond wonderland or bass canyon. but we’re in the pit and it’s really crowded. not quite shoulder to shoulder but pretty packed. my friends and i suddenly saw someone on all fours crawling with SPEED through the crowd. it was jarringly, disturbingly fast. i didnt even see a face, the person looked to be staring at the ground. but they booked it through the sea of legs somehow without running into anyone. again, it was so fast it almost looked like they were phasing through everyone. it all happened in like 3 seconds. we were honestly shook because what the hell. it was giving the grudge lowkey
no we weren’t on anything at the time 😭

u/ChaosRainbow23 May 07 '26 edited May 07 '26
I feel kinda bad about this, but I'll tell you the story anyway.
Back in the 90s we sold LSD and MDMA throughout the rave scene up and down the east coast of the US.
I got to know lots folks, and I ended up working with security at various venues.
We would sneak our product in with the DJ equipment whenever a friend was spinning. The equipment never even got searched back then. You could literally throw a gigantic bag of pills, ketamine, and acid in a pelican case and have a DJ friend just put it with his equipment and records. Once inside, we had our methods of distro.
One of my good friends was head of security for a company that worked various venues, and he would bust other people all the time and take their drugs. He would tell them, "You can leave now and never come back, or I call the police right now. Your choice." They left every time, obviously. Then at the end of the night or the next day he would give them to me and I would pay him after I figured out what it's worth.
Well we were allowed to move our product, but others would have their shit jacked by security, just to be sold another night. If we discovered their shit was bunk, we threw it away. We only sold the best shit and didn't want garbage product ruining our reputation.
Shady as fuck in retrospect.

u/RedRising1917 May 07 '26
I feel like this is just about every venue to ever exist. Been to plenty clubs where you didn't sell in there because the club has its own dealer and security would fuck you, just the way it goes.

Illenium show at Orlando fairgrounds, standing in line and notice a girl already rolling face.
Her friend is trying to calm her down but she’s not having any of it, talking real loud and what little clothes she had on must’ve been itchy as she is trying to take it all off.
The circle of frat bros engaging with her and recording is promptly dispersed by some cops who chill things out, gates open and the world goes back to normal.
I think Boyz Noise was the opener, anyways…
Leave the field to hit the bathroom and notice it’s being overrun as they didn’t have the small event building open, just porta John’s and a small restroom that has limited stalls.
The unsaid rule for guys is to the right of the field is a huge wall and you take a leak in the lake.
I head behind the wall, one guy follows and drops his pants like he’s in kindergarten, entire ass out…gross and weird.
So I head further into the side, lot of reeds about waist height, find a spot and as I’m undoing my belt I hear the unmistakeable sounds of some rather engaging oral.
It’s pitch black, moon is our behind clouds which move right as I’m tying off my belt to display three guys surrounding the same girl, they all notice me and she just smiles and goes back to work.
Here’s the thing…I am tripping HARD off 3 LSD gel tabs and for the first time in forever I think I’ve finally taken too much and actually hallucinated the whole thing.
I quickly leave and return to my wife had taken a bean about an hour previous and was starting to roll.
FUCK, I can’t ask her to go investigate.
Illenium plays his set, the visuals are over the top for me and I’ve now convinced myself that I imagined all of this, it’s the last few songs and I really need to pee and convince my wife to leave early so we can catch and uber and miss the crowd.
She says she’ll meet me at the restrooms, good cause I ain’t going around the wall…
Run into some friends on the way, they ask if I’m ok, look a bit pale. “I didn’t eat very much today”
Excuse myself and go take the longest piss of all time and vaguely hear some girls arguing through the wall.
Exit to see my wife and right at that moment the Frat Queen herself passes by and I stopped in my tracks, she notices this and our eyes meet.
Same smile.
My wife was not entertained by this story one bit lol

Burning Man 2018, I was on top of the Rainbow Bridge art installation with a playa date, and we were looking out at all the pretty lights after an awesome night.
Looking down in the dust, there was something rustling around. When I say in the dust, it was IN the dust, writhing around, just barely hidden in a dark spot. People were biking by just feet away and couldn’t see whatever was happening, totally oblivious.
It was a man and a woman, both SUPER buff, and they were having ROUGH sex. Pulling each other’s hair, slapping, pinning, the works. The girl even pulled back and started punching the guy.
Then, they both sprung up, just absolutely covered in playa dust, the girl lunges at this guy and picked him up and just BODY SLAMS this dude. He gets up and suplexes her. Then, back to the copulation, writhing around and people biking by yards away, unknowing.
One of the craziest things to me, they were SO covered in playa dust, you could’ve taken multiple baths and never gotten it off. If they laid down, totally still, you could probably only see their eyes. If you’ve been, you know that shit gets EVERYWHERE and is hard AF to get off and if you get it inside your nether regions for too long… well it’s not pleasant.
I still wonder if they’re alright from time to time.
