Partiboi69 - Motion Bristol

When: Saturday 18th - Sunday 19th February 2023

Where: Motion in Bristol

Enigmatic Australian party starter, Partiboi69 brings his zany live show to Motion Bristol next month, joining an already stellar programme of events happening at the superclub in the early part of 2023. 

CEO of Mutual Pleasure Records, internationally acclaimed DJ and producer, martial arts expert and social media content king, he's seemingly a man with limitless talents. With an off-kilter sense of fashion, always donning what looks to be a desktop PC headset, a penchant for ghetto house and techno, and a proven mastery of using green screens (see any of his music videos), he's also something of an internet sensation. 

For a truly entertaining evening, we highly recommend catching Partiboi69's unique show at Motion this February.
