After electrifying crowds with its debut back in March, this ogre-sized bash returns to the heart of downtown Reno, transforming VSB into a pulsating portal to Far Far Away. Whether you’re a die-hard swamp dweller or just here for the vibes, this isn’t your average night out—it’s a full-on fairy-tale frenzy where the beats hit harder than Donkey’s one-liners.
Picture this: the air thick with neon-green fog, lights flickering like fireflies in the Duloc dungeons, and a sea of revelers channeling their inner Shrek, Fiona, or Puss in Boots. Don your layers of green body paint, strap on those floppy ogre ears, or go full Pinocchio. And the music? Top-tier DJs spinning a swampy symphony of Shrek soundtrack anthems (“All Star,” “Hallelujah,” “I’m a Believer”) remixed into bass-thumping EDM drops, blended seamlessly with fairy-tale pop hits and high-energy electronica.
Snag your tickets now before they vanish like the Magic Mirror’s reflections—this return is set to shatter attendance records and leave you humming “Freak Flag” for weeks. November 14, 2025: Reno, get your rave on. Ogres have layers… and so does this party. Tickets available via Ticketmaster — don’t get left in the moat!

punk, surf, and indie rock influences. Since forming in the late 2000s, they’ve released several acclaimed albums and toured internationally, building a loyal underground following.
Null 818 is an emerging punk band from Southern California, recognized for their gritty, high-octane sound and deep ties to the 818 area code’s underground music scene. With a DIY ethos and emotionally charged lyrics, they’ve quickly gained traction among fans of modern hardcore and punk revival.
Since they began jamming back in William’s Santa Clarita bedroom, Los Angeles rock trio Together Pangea—William Keegan, Danny Bengston, and Erik Jimenez—have continually challenged themselves with each subsequent offering. Jelly Jam [2010] poured the gasoline,Living Dummy [2011] struck the match, and Badillac [2014] lit the fire with its revved-up nineties rock-inspired flames. Along the way, fan favorites like “Sick Shit,” “Badillac,” and “Offer” would rack up millions of Spotify streams, while the group received support from Consequence of Sound, Pitchfork, MTV, Stereogum, and more.
In 2015, they teamed up with The Replacements’ Tommy Stinson onThe Phage EP, setting the stage for 2017’s Bulls and Roosters, which showcased their evolution into a sharp, brash, and unapologetically confident rock band. With 2021’s DYE, they blended their past eras—drawing from the grunge-fueled chaos of Badillac, the ’50s pop undercurrent of Living Dummy, and the experimental edge of Bulls and Roosters. In 2024, they released the Misery EP, paving the way for what’s to come.
The band has since toured relentlessly, headlining across North America, the UK, and Europe, and sharing stages with Jimmy Eat World. Earlier this year, Together Pangea made their Coachella debut on the Sonora Stage, and played a Coachella sideshow in Los Angeles at the El Rey with support from Prison Affair, marking another milestone in their career. Now, with a brand-new album slated for release next year, the band is gearing up for a new chapter.
