We are rave culture!
An outdoor place with extended hours, without ostentatious luxuries or “VIP” areas. Today we live in the ruins of an abandoned motel devoured by nature. On its entrance road you cross a tunnel that is under a National road. This is how our name was born, and that is where our main stage resides.
Our club, specialized in Electronic music, has been a space that has most driven by the growth of the local scene in the last 5 years. We have had the participation of more than 15 Pereiran groups, the presence of more than 300 national artists and more than 250 international artists from many countries such as Japan, Germany, Italy, among them.
Every day we work for a safe and inclusive space, where characteristics such as gender, race or religion are superfluous. At Tunnel if you are willing to enjoy and respect, you are always welcome. This has led us to have more than 13,000 registered members who have laughed and danced on the stages, which as of to date, are already 4 stages that are in constant transformation.
STAGES
TUNNEL
With a strong industrial concrete structure features are 2 tunnels under a national highway. This stage resides between the rust and concrete, where rest areas, the main bar, and bathrooms are located. Inside the other Tunnel our most iconic dance floor, where its attendees dance non-stop under cars and trucks passing by and where the musician's booth is surrounded by hundreds of attendees who vibrate while the artists project their soundscapes.
GoldForWater
In a post-apocalyptic essence, envisioning a world where water is more valuable than gold and only the ruins of abandoned houses lie, people dance on the cement floor while the bricks surrounding the dance floor resonate with the vibrations, creating an atmosphere for thousands of attendees who have witnessed countless sunrises in this place.
Batcave
Between rooms that today lie in ruins, a corridor extends that serves as a dance floor when the artists take the booth. Thus, under roots that come down from the ceiling, in the most underground part of the club, the attendees who arrive with the fall of night dance until the sun rises.
POOL
Adjacent to the abandoned motel's pool and amidst nature, the space transforms into a dance floor on soil, grass, and ceramics.
