The press release describes the night as a homage to New York’s 80s and 90s club scene, and what could have been if the drug existed during that era.

PrEP+ will welcome globally celebrated DJs. PrEP+ welcomes everyone.” According to the press release “ticket links have been distributed.” There are also rules to follow if you’re attending No photos or videos are allowed in the venue.
