Event information
Kavus is coming back to make his third visit to Shire of Weird. His last visit was in August 2024 and it was a brilliant, steaming, hot and visceral night at The Victory. This time he's coming down to the basement, in The Speakeasy - on a Monday night! Let's fill this space with psychedelic goodness!
