REQUIEM 2024 | Imaginative Halloween Rave Experience at Salon Richmond 1

Montreal is gearing up for an electrifying Halloween season, and FrontRite’s REQUIEM is back, promising an unforgettable night of mystery, music, and magic. Set in the historic Salon Richmond —a church built in 1861— Requiem will unfold on Friday, November 1st, offering a spellbinding experience that goes beyond a traditional rave. This year’s theme, IMMORTAL IMAGINARIA, invites attendees to explore the line between life, death, and the boundless realms of the soul in a visually and sonically immersive hall.

Requiem

A Church Venue Transformed

Salon Richmond will serve as the deconsecrated ground for this sensory spectacle, embodying the event’s ethereal spirit. Known for its grand architecture, the venue will be completely transformed into a dreamscape where the boundary between worlds blurs. From 8:30 PM to 3 AM, attendees will experience a night that FrontRite founder Anthony David D’Urbano describes as “an experience that transcends the usual rave boundaries.”

This is more than a Halloween party—it’s an immersive journey. Prepare to leave ordinary expectations at the door and step into a realm where art, music, and narrative intertwine to create a transformative event. As D’Urbano urges, “Don’t just wear a costume—become your character and co-create Halloween with us.”

Music to Soothe the Soul and Stir the Spirit

The night will pulse with the rhythms and harmonies of Montreal’s eclectic music scene. Local favorites Dexter Crowe, Soul of ZooSEVN, Moti, Opale Ashley, Just Sky, and High Priestess will lead a musical lineup curated to take partygoers on an emotional journey.

Requiem’s musical direction ranges from house to tribal and melodic soundscapes, making it a dynamic fusion of genres crafted to awaken the spirit and stir the soul. Each set builds on the theme of Immortal Imaginaria, designed to reflect the night’s exploration of life, death, and the infinite.
