KTash Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 UTOPIA – 15 Years Acer Arena, Olympic Park24th April 2010 - Anzac Long Weekend8.30pm to 5.30am In 1995 an event was born based on the idea of a reasonably priced party with a bunch of great local DJs and a vibe only created by us for the party people. That event was Utopia, and on a cold night in July of '95 the first Utopia was held. Over the course of the next few years the Utopia event grew in size and morphed from an underground party to a legally promoted event in advertised venues. The step-up to these was a larger legal warehouse in Homebush which brought in giant crowds, often doubling the amount of patrons from the previous event. From Utopia 7 to 10, the attendances doubled each time going from 1800 to 3200, then to 6000 and finally a staggering 10,000 people at Utopia 10 at Wonderland.Now in 2010, Utopia is known as the leading all-night dance party in Australia, and is one of the biggest events of its type in the world. It's been running for a crazy 15 years, and that in itself is an outstanding achievement. It's a milestone that no other Sydney all-night party has reached. 15 years of supplying absolute killer parties, absolutely brilliant International, interstate and local talents, and absolutely phenomenal productions.If you thought you'd seen some pretty outrageous Utopia parties over the years, just wait to see what we have in store for our 15th birthday! To say you will be blown away is an understatement. You will in fact be in awe as you enter the giant main room at the Acer Arena, and you will be speechless as a crescendo of the best and most vibrant technology and music engulf you. This event is set to be the perfect symphony of the ultimate in party technology: lasers so bright and colourful, lighting twirling and spinning and creating rainbows around you, bass oozing through the floor and up your spine.Prepare for a birthday celebration only Powerhouse can dream of and create. You are about to enter what will truly be Utopia .........Our 15th Birthday.
