Shut up and Dance at Irving Plaza

Bizzy Rave Tour 2025

We’re heating things up early this July Fourth weekend at Irving Plaza, and trust us rave family — this one’s going to be explosive and a 101 lesson in electronica. Irving Plaza, that iconic dance floor nestled right in the heart of Union Square and known for hosting some of the wildest, genre-defying nights in the city, is thrilled to welcome Shut Up and Dance for a rare and rowdy stop on their Bizzy Rave Tour 2025, which is taking over select cities across North America and showing the youngbloods why Garage is still gas. And it all goes down right here on Thursday, July 3rd — so ya, the brits have got our 4th of July weekender plans sorted. Nice.

For the uninitiated and uniformed - don’t worry, we won’t judge you! Just listen up and get your notepad ready. Shut Up and Dance are the absolute UK rave royalty you need to know. Hailing from Hackney and coming up in the early '90s London underground scene, this duo helped birth breakbeat hardcore, blending house, hip-hop, acid, jungle, and techno into a sound so infectious and so boundary-pushing, it practically invented its own genre. These are the guys who gave us underground anthems like Lamborghini, 10 Pounds to Get In, and I’m Raving—tracks that still knock just as hard in a Brooklyn warehouse as they did in a sweaty East London club 30 years ago. Real music is always gonna last folks - that’s facts. What sets their live sets apart isn’t just the crates of breakbeat bangers — it’s the energy of the crowd and the guys at every show. Expect no-holds-barred dance floor heat. Expect basslines you feel in your chest. Expect samples that cut straight through the fog machine. Their sets are packed with nostalgia, but never stuck in the past — this is rave music that still lives and breathes and makes people move. If you’re into breakbeat, jungle, or anything with a four-on-the-floor heartbeat and a little grit on it—this show’s for you. If you’ve been missing that raw, DIY rave spirit in a world of polished Spotify-core house, this is your time to plug back in. This is for the dancers, the diggers, and anyone who wants to lose themselves in something real, loud, and sweaty.

So ya. Doors open at 10PM, and we’ll be going until late. This is 21+ only show, so bring your ID, your crew, and your best moves. Let’s make some noise and get that fire burning before a single firework lights. Grab your tickets now — and we’ll see you in the dark, right there on the floor.
