Brooklyn Zoo: Halloween @ Motion | Sunday 31 October

 

Brooklyn Zoo has forged a name for itself over the past few years as one of the South West’s most popular nights, so it is no surprise that their latest team-up with Motion is set to be the biggest Halloween party in the region.

 

There will be three arenas on the night; the main room will play Brooklyn Zoo’s signature hip-hop tunes, while the second will be playing DnB and Jungle and the third a mix of Dancehall, Afrobeats and Reggaeton.

 

High demand saw the latest iteration of Brooklyn Zoo sell out in a flash, but we advise you to keep an eye on the Motion website for any tickets becoming available via the resale during the buildup to the 31st.
