ONE NIGHT ONLY • DONNIE DARKO INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE • MEET FRANK THE RABBIT (ACTOR JAMES DUVAL) • LIVE MUSIC & DJS • 7 HOUR RAVE MEETS FILM SCREENING • CHARACTERS AND SURPRISES • HALLOWEEN CUSTOM EVENT • MULTI ROOM SENSORY EXPERIENCE

On Friday, June 6th, 2025 (King’s Birthday Long Weekend), the Melbourne Pavilion transforms into Donnie Darko’s iconic house and universe for one night. Only Expect a high-energy, cinematic rave experience inspired by the cult classic film.

Attendees will enjoy elaborate themed bars, mind-bending audiovisual installations, and an immersive atmosphere that includes a live screening of the film, all crafted to blur the line between reality and the movie's provocative, time-bending world. Clubbers and guests are encouraged to come in Halloween costumes and themed attire, fully embracing the Halloween party themes and scenes that captivated millions of people and transitioned the film into a globally revered cult favorite.

“This isn’t just a screening; it’s a full-blown 80s-style interactive House party inspired by the Donnie Darko film”

With its succinct fusion of nostalgia, cinematic spectacle, and interactive storytelling, the Australian debut and its series of international dates rolling out, the Donnie Darko house experience is set to be a must-attend event for film lovers, ravers, and pop culture enthusiasts alike. Given its immediate history of selling out in record time, fans are actively encouraged to secure general and VIP bundle tickets in advance via the show official website. As the re-ignition of this critically acclaimed film and event gains momentum, it’s quickly emerging as one of the must-experience cultural moments of the year.

James Duval, the actor behind Frank the Rabbit, confirms, "Frank is here... and I'll be waiting for you."

Come dressed in Halloween costume and step into a multi-room, 80s-style house party featuring live DJs, immersive visuals, recreated film sets, and characters straight from the movie. Following its sold-out debut in London and current global tour, the experience lands in Australia — louder, darker, and deeper inside the Tangent Universe.

Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Drew Barrymore, Jena Malone, Patrick Swayze, and Maggie Gyllenhaal, Donnie Darko remains one of the most iconic cult films of the 21st century — a haunting blend of time travel, teen angst, and 80s surrealism that continues to resonate with audiences worldwide.

The Donnie Darko House Party isn’t just about immersive storytelling — it’s backed by a powerhouse lineup featuring some of Australia’s most exciting and boundary-pushing electronic artists. From the genre-blending force of Ebony Willis, and the hypnotic sets of Stockholm Syndrome, this is a lineup that defines the cutting edge of contemporary Australian club culture. Joining them are Wiser, known for melodic techno journeys, and the genre-bending chaos of Zaftig, whose sets deliver a raw underground energy that perfectly fits the dark surrealism of the Donnie Darko universe.

And with a exciting headliner soon to be revealed, this lineup promises a full-spectrum sonic experience — eerie, electric, and unforgettable.
