Ministry of Sound Embraces ‘Sober Curious’ Era with Launch Brand New Dry Day Rave Featuring Rising Star DRIIA

by


This summer, Ministry of Sound is launching a brand new sober rave series, catering to a new generation of sober and sober-curious ravers. The inaugural event is set to take place May 11th and will run quarterly through to November, with DRIIA heading up the dry day rave. 

Having hosted the likes of Ecstatic Disco and Dry Disco at the iconic club in the past, the launch of 2025’s sober series marks the first in-house brand to embrace alcohol-free ravers and a step in a new direction for nightlife in the city. Leading the march is DRIIA, inspired by her relationship with sober raving. With an ethereal sound blending elements of UKG, Jungle, and Breaks, the young talent is a rising star in her own right, having been named Danny Howard’s BBC Radio 1 Future Star last year. The London-based artist, supported by genre favourites including Main Phase, Turno, and Jaguar, aims to spark conversations about sober raving in underground scenes. 

Accompanying the new initiative is an exclusively made mocktail menu available in the new guest area and a range of No and Low-alcohol drinks across the venue from February.. Laura Andrijauskaitė, the club’s bar manager expertly curated the exclusive menu after meticulous research, taste testing, and her own experience with a sober lifestyle to include low, no alcohol beer, mushroom, and CBD drinks from brands such as LUCKY SAINT, Trip, and REAL.co.

Nightlife is evolving and Ministry of Sound is leading the way with this new range and party initiative. No hangovers. No regrets. Just memory-making nights.

Quotes

“I’d love to be a part of creating a fresh space in London for people to experience a (largely) sober day of music. For me, the focus would be demonstrating that sobriety doesn’t impinge on enjoyment – if anything it can enhance it. By working with Ministry of Sound nightclub, we can demonstrate that you can still love underground genres like UKG, DnB, Dubstep, Jungle, and be sober/sober-curious. Dancing isn’t something that should be mutually exclusive with drinking, and to offer a space where music and community takes priority would be important in this ever-growing sober-curious society we live in.” – DRIIA

“At Ministry of Sound, our egalitarian roots have always led to positive change, for the growing number of us that are ‘sober curious’ we know what our patrons want, more inclusive nightlife experiences. Our daytime raves and ‘No and Low’ alcohol range cater for a growing community, like us, who believe that clubbing should be about connection, energy and making memories whether you’re sipping a zero-proof mocktail or a low-alcohol beer.” – Matt Long, Club Director at Ministry of Sound.

“I’ve put together a great lineup of options for sober ravers, we wanted an offering that tastes amazing like CBD-infused Trip, a delicious alternative to wine drinks from Real.co, Low-alcohol functional spirits from Smiling Wolf (perfect in cocktails or with mixers), and 0% beer options from Lucky Saint” – Laura Andrijauskaitė

2025 Lineup Highlights
A diverse blend of electronic music genres awaits, spanning techno, house, trance, urban sounds, and harder styles, ensuring there’s something for every music lover. This year’s lineup features crowd favorites such as Fisher, renowned for his infectious energy and chart-topping hits that dominate dance floors worldwide, and Marlon Hoffstadt, whose forward-thinking trance sets are a favorite among the new generation of electronic music fans.

Revamped Festival Grounds and New Experiences
Mysteryland 2025 brings exciting changes to its festival layout, designed to enhance the visitor experience and create a more immersive journey. The iconic pyramid, previously celebrated as the home of the second stage of the festival, will now serve as the festival’s mainstage, transforming into an arena that offers an eclectic mix of genres that showcase Mysteryland’s diverse musical direction. The redesigned festival grounds have been thoughtfully restructured to reduce walking distances a lot, making it easier for guests to navigate between stages and discover everything the event has to offer.

With walkabout performers, fire shows, morning gong baths, and yoga classes—just to scratch the surface—there is so much more to explore at Moovin Festival. All wrapped in a unique free-spirited vibe that defies easy description, Moovin Festival truly is like no Udder!
