Riot Nerd has spent the past decade building a niche following in Philly nightlife. On Feb. 20, it will mark that milestone with a two-room anniversary party\u00a0from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m.\u00a0at Underground Arts<\/p>\n
In the main room, DJ Adub will spin a decade-spanning set pulling from the hits, singalongs and dance-floor staples that have defined Riot Nerd since 2016.<\/p>\n
In the Black Box, the collective\u2019s annual \u201cTwin Peaks\u201d party returns as an immersive \u201980s New Wave experience. DJ George Purkins will headline, with a special guest set from DJ Riot Meg, the founder behind Riot Nerd.<\/p>\n
Free merch will be available while supplies last, and a photo booth and roaming photographer will document the night.<\/p>\n
Over the past decade, Riot Nerd has carved out a distinct space in Philly nightlife by turning hyper-specific internet obsessions into sweaty, communal dance floors. Its parties have celebrated everything from goth nights and K-pop to Beyonc\u00e9 and Taylor Swift, along with cult-favorite themes like \u201cHeated Rivalry\u201d and \u201cTwin Peaks.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
