Kernowtopia: Where Fire Meets Techno (And, Apparently, SpongeBob)

Last Saturday night, a little slice of Cornish heaven (complete with sheep) was transformed into an absolute rave paradise, courtesy of Freestyler Events. If you weren’t there, what were you even doing? Natz and the Freestyler crew pulled off one of the most eclectic, bonkers, and unforgettable parties this side of the Tamar. Kernowtopia wasn’t just a party—it was a proper Cornish rave with a serious vibe, fire breathers, and enough dancers to make any festival jealous.

A killer lineup of local DJs kept the energy high all night, with headliners Hang The DJs absolutely smashing it with a set that blended high-energy hard techno with, wait for it… the SpongeBob SquarePants theme tune. Yes, you read that right. Cornish raving at its finest: hard beats with a side of Bikini Bottom. If you missed it, you’ll just have to take our word for it (or hope it pops up in a hazy Instagram story).

But beyond the banging tunes, what really set Kernowtopia apart was the vibe. The ethos behind Freestyler Events is all about inclusivity, and you could feel it in the air. Everyone was on the same wavelength—whether you were front and center at the stage or chilling in one of the event’s many safe spaces and chill-out zones. It wasn’t just a place to get your rave on; it was a community gathering, where politeness and positivity ruled the dancefloor (and, yes, the coffee-making station too—shoutout to the bar staff who helped one of our crew get their caffeine fix mid-rave).

All in all, Kernowtopia felt like a breath of fresh Cornish air, and we’re seriously hoping this becomes a yearly date in the Cornish raving calendar. If you love good vibes, hard beats, and maybe a cheeky bit of SpongeBob with your techno, you’ll want to keep an eye on what Freestyler Events has in store next.
