Zero‑Gravity Nightclub Party: A Trip That’ll Make Your Heart Race
Picture this: a nightclub that plays just as much hits as the International Space Station does science experiments, floating in weightlessness for a quick, breath‑taking after‑party. This isn’t a sci‑fi dream…it’s happening on February 7th in Frankfurt, in an officially NASA‑approved Airbus A310 turned rave machine.
The Setup
- Aircraft: A tweaked Airbus A310 that trains European astronauts for zero gravity.
- Duration: 90 minutes total; only 25 minutes of pure, floating fun before the plane lands.
- Guests: 20 clubbers sampled from across all continents, selected through a viral video sweep‑stakes on social media.
- Travel: All participants get the flight, food, and the chance to lift their heads in the sky for free.
Why the Space‑Rave Paradox?
BigCityBeats founder Bernd Breiter sat beneath the glittering skyline and asked himself, “When do we fly to the moon?” Well, the journey’s not a one‑way ticket yet, but Breiter’s mission is to bring one step closer to that idea—by orchestrating dance in suspension.
DJ Line‑up
They’ve assembled a squad that could plant the soundtrack for the next space movie:
- Armin van Buuren – trance maestro boasting a track record of guiding millions to a euphoric state.
- Steve Aoki – LA’s resident (and sometimes resident at the end of the universe) producer of electrifying EDM.
Van Buuren told his fans, “Space travel has been something I want to experience at least once.” Even the most neon‑lit DJs admit that big‑air jets can still cause a little jitters.
Flying with Earth‑Makers
Two seasoned zero‑gravity wanderers accompany the crew: ESA astronauts Jean‑François Clervoy (France) and Pedro Duque (Spain). Their presence guarantees the party isn’t just a playground; it’s a scientific adventure.
What “Dance” Really Feels Like Up There
Armin hinted that the dance floor will morph into swinging, twirling wonderland “— making you look way funnier.” He teased the potential for “unique moves” like air‑twists that normally would be impossible on a club’s hardwood.
Meanwhile, the crew promises the Lufthansa‑style cabin will resist the silence of outer space by arming the space‑plane with real oxygen—so you can hear your own breath, DJ beats, and laughs echo off the walls.
Bottom Line
Twenty party‑goers gather for a half‑hour of zero‑gravity, surrounded by the world’s biggest DJs and two astronauts, to prove that the best nights can be found not just on earth, but up in the clouds (or planes). This is the very first “space‑nightclub” experience, a salute to the dreamers who say that tomorrow will bring more than rockets—it will bring beats that defy gravity.
