Dogshow are here to turn your night upside down, inside out, and wonderfully off-leash. Born from two brothers who stride boldly across the astral planes of dance music, while dressed as poodles. This full-bodied canine duo deliver a party like no other. Expect a wild fusion of live techno, jazz, and dance musicianship centred around their iconic battery-powered Dog-Trolley, planted right in the middle of the crowd for maximum chaos and connection. Part rave, part ritual, part surreal fever-dream, Dogshow aren’t just a performance, they’re a portal to your most euphoric, tail-wagging self. Step into the pack, surrender to the howl, and get ready to unleash. WOOF WOOF!
