collide : nightlife before dark
Collide is an all-evening event co-hosted by Studio ZX and FANTOM, intended to serve as a shared and open space for the many scenes that make up Montreal nightlife to meet, find common ground, and build lasting ties of solidarity—regardless of experience level or other barriers.
With members of FANTOM, Studio ZX, and MTL24/24’s Night Council expected to be present, our goal is for Collide to act as a bridge between Montreal’s nightlife communities and the organizations working to support and advocate for them.
Entry is free, though we ask you to please RSVP (it really helps the event coordinators!). For this inaugural edition, an open decks opportunity is being offered for those of you who would like a chance to play at Cafe SAT. RSVP & open-deck signup via this link.
