Save The Rave has announced it is returning to Liverpool for its first-ever Christmas special, taking over the city’s iconic 051 club for a seven-hour festive party. The event is scheduled for Saturday, 6th December 2025, with tickets on sale now for a night packed with 90s and 00s dance anthems. Organisers are promising a full-throttle lights and laser production to create the ultimate Christmas night out.
The event marks a swap from the usual festival fields to an intimate club setting, celebrating the nostalgia and high energy of the rave era. The line-up features legendary live PAs from Porn Kings, Rachel McFarlane, and 2Funky2. They will be joined by a host of well-known DJs including Lee Butler, Ian Longo, Rob Cain, Miss Mollie, and 051 vinyl legend Dave Graham.
The party will run from 8pm to 3am, with the DJ line-up completed by up-and-coming artists Rapid DJ and Wes P. Tickets for the Christmas special are available now, with prices starting from just £17. Organisers have highlighted the event as a perfect alternative to a traditional work festive gathering, offering a chance to let your hair down and enjoy classic dance music.
This Christmas event is part of a wider brand refresh by the new owners of Save The Rave. Their plans include a mix of club collaborations and intimate gigs to run alongside the large-scale outdoor festivals planned for 2026. New co-owner Ste James explained, “The idea is that it won’t be a case of if you’ve seen one Save The Rave, you’ve seen them all. We’re going to bring in more headline acts, smaller intimate events, and different music genres to take it to more people across the country.”
DJ and Promoter Davy T of Porn Kings shared his excitement, stating, “It’s great to see people still love these old skool tunes, even more unbelievable is that they are today still the biggest tracks on the dancefloor. We are gonna blow up Save the Rave at Club 051 this December.” The new owners also aim to provide opportunities for emerging artists and DJs as part of their strategy to “give something back” to the scene.
Echoing the sentiment, 051 legend Dave Graham said, “I played the Save the Rave Festival in Southport a few years ago and it was amazing. Now it is coming to the 051 in Liverpool, there couldn’t really be a better venue could there? It is where dance music exploded back in the 90s and to be able to re-create that electric atmosphere will be just epic.”
The new management has also emphasised their commitment to affordability. “People are being squeezed across the board at the moment and we want to provide affordable fun to everyone because they need it more than ever right now,” added Ste James. The event aims to recapture the carefree days of the 90s, allowing attendees to enjoy the music and atmosphere of a classic rave.
The Save The Rave 051 Christmas special will take place at Club 051, 1 Mount Pleasant, Liverpool, L3 5SX. For more information or to buy tickets, head to SaveTheRave.co.uk.
