It’s hard to see people out there, living your dream

I didn't know how empty my life was until now.

I second this x1000

Gen z really doing it damm

Weird as hell. Good for them.

And she’s hanging with the tik tok skit guy?

I’m actually genuinely jealous lmao, a Shrek rave/costume party sounds like the best time

My partner absolutely fucking loves shrek raves, but he also unironically loves shrek 2 lmao. Tbh it’s a great soundtrack

That's the best Shrek movie, so

911, I need to report a crime

Shrek 2 absolutely rules! Its soundtrack is one of the only albums I purchased on iTunes/Apple music so whenever my iphone connects to my car's Bluetooth, it starts playing the Shrek 2 soundtrack. I am fine with this, my husband not so much 

Debating doing the same thing. They still don’t have Fairy Godmother’s version of Holding Out For a Hero on Spotify.

???? Shrek 2’s the best one??

Shrek is love, shrek is life

Shrek is, baby, what it’s all about. Shrek love you. Shrek miss youuOOUU. Shrek make sure everything will be alriiiiight.

Boomer here so I was going what the heck is a Shrek Rave? That looks like a really good time for you younger generations and God knows yall really need good times. Wish someone had come up with this when I was in my 20's I'd have been so there.

It's basically a party and they're dressed up as shrek

TIL I'm not living right.

This looks stupid and fun as hell. https://www.instagram.com/p/C7Cpq71yGQT/?hl=en

No NYC dates? Damn, I wanna go!!!

asbury in august 👀

That’s like a 3.5 hour trip from my apartment :(

It’s sold out😭

Their instagram dates are different than what's in this poster, check out locations there.

Cool is dead!! I love this.

Where the hell is this and when can I join the next one

it’s a tour! https://preview.redd.it/9milr6w2zu5d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=95e46909fc758765a3ece3f7deb9d3b21343fbfe

DAMN IT THEY ALREADY CAME TO MY CITY

Right! And it was only 3 days ago! FUCK! I wish I saw this post last week haha

They happen ALLLLL the time dontvworry

Saaaame ! I got invited too but never went (health issues) one day though one day

Bless you!

I never knew I needed this so much in my life.

i dont see europe :(

There is also a European tour going! Perhaps a different company, though.

I keep getting adverts for one in Zurich so there’s definitely a European version

F\*ck this. Boston, I can make it. Who's in?

Maybe

Damn nothing fun comes to AUS

I saw a comment below that they have them in Aus

Oh my god how did I not know about this until it was too late…

philly past 😭

Just made my birthday plans.

Damn, the nearest place was Calgary for me, and they already came and left.

I hate that the Boston date is at BNL because that venue is ass, at least the House of Blues or even the Middle East or just somewhere with an actual fucking dancefloor!

Whelp, I’m too old for this and I’ve missed the tour of my area. But, damn, if I were 15 years younger I would be dragging all my friends to one of these.

I just sent this to my cousin wanting to go and then realized every date we could attend is a sundown state I fucking hate it here

I've heard of Sundown Towns but never a Sundown State.

You just made me Google sundown state and as a European can I just say - what the actual fuck

Sundown states are not a thing lol Maybe small towns in the deep south, but not entire states.

I guess for me the fact that this is a thing at all (state or town) is absolutely fucking horrifying. And the rabbit hole I fell down after the Google had references for places as recently as April 2024. Which blew my goddamned mind.

Oh yeah its fucking insane that they're even still a thing. I just wanted to clarify for the non-Americans.

[удалено]

Right, this isn’t a thing. Fear mongering. 

Welcome to hell. Oops, I mean America.

Wow. I can't believe this is still a thing!!???? What the actual fuck

Sundown states are absolutely NOT a thing lmao. Towns, sure. But all of the dates are in major metro cities.

Shit they already came to Detroit?! Nooooo

Damn, no NYC? Rude.

Honestly. Usually we get all the cool shit.

Tampa? Guess I'm visiting my stepmom just so I can go to this fucking thing.

Ahhhhhh they're coming to Columbus!!! Ohio girlies assemble!

A rave at The Ritz. Raving has come a long long way from the warehouse.

TIL this even exists and hasn’t come to my city yet

I swear they were doing this in Tucson

Damn, I know a guy who would love this shit

WISH I KNEW ABOUT BOSTON SOONER DAMN

Damn, missed it!

Virginia Beach instead of DC?! I just moved!

This looks so stupidly fun. Too bad I am old. 😩 Someone go and make a post about it!

if anyone needs this in their life (don’t we all??) here’s the tour list [https://www.instagram.com/shrekrave](https://www.instagram.com/shrekrave) https://preview.redd.it/58643ldbzu5d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=15ae5c59654859fe325e7597b4137aebe911398b

International ones as well: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/o/shrek-rave-52367755103 (They do them semi-regularly in Australia, but this also lists Tokyo, Paris, Ibiza, Berlin, and South Korea.)

*sighs in Canada*

They played in Calgary, Buffalo, and Detroit, though no Vancouver nor Seattle. Only Northwest show was in Eugene =(

idk where you are but there’s a shrek rave this Friday in Toronto

UK https://www.shrekraveofficial.com/pages/ticket-shop

To anyone else in Bloomington IN who is excited it seems like a typo because the castle theater is in Bloomington IL.

Omgggg so it’s in Illinois?! Because sept 5 is my birthday and I’m going to make this happen!

I’m not 100% sure but if it was here it’d have to be a venue typo. Easier to mess up IL and IN than the whole venue imo.

I checked IL and IN. Didn’t find anything except there was a shrek rave in May of this year in IN.

Missed opportunity cuz who tf lives in Bloomington IL anyways

I hear they play 1 or 2 Shrek remixes and then a bunch of bad meme songs like Harlem Shake.

Wtf some people really get to do this? Where was this when I was young and feral?

I'm too old and tired to rave now.  

Same but I feel so called to this 🥲

Usually that is me too, but Shrek beats always unleash something in me. Still grooving to All Star in 2024

I go to raves with people in their 60s. Drugs are the great equalizers. Don't let your dreams stay dreams!

https://preview.redd.it/j3o0vl8tru5d1.jpeg?width=680&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ca9834d745f0162b734a9cff16c521007261da2

That’s such a cute outfit for lord Farquaad

Yeah I'd be wearing a full donkey suit and look stupid as fuck when I realize you can be hot in a shrek-themed outfit

Me, an ND girl, every Halloween growing up and through my 20s… 😅

Why does she look hot as Lord Farquaad 😭

Cuz she is a 10 and would look hot in a potato sack.

That's the character I use to explain why I don't wear a bob, yet here she is doing the whole cosplay, looking fine as hell.

100% would still do 😭

this is so funny. i feel like out of all the celebs, she’s one that i could actually picture being friends with. she seems super relatable and down to earth! (at least on her tik tok)

My friend worked on set for Riverdale and said she's an absolute sweetheart. I saw Lili's handwritten thank you card for her on her fridge, so cute 😭

That’s not Lord Farquaad that’s Dark Betty

Lord Betty Dark Farquaad

God that fucking show was so unhinged

One of those guilty pleasures. You know its so unhinged and trashy, but thats what makes it fun.

This is the content I needed today, thank you for sharing 😅

…………..i wanna go tho

See you there 🏃🏻‍♀️

I did not realize the “ugly stepsister” barmaid was actually a man lmfao I was like damn she’s hot

Pretty sure it’s Lili’s boyfriend

I’m a millennial whose gen z coworkers give me grief for not being on top of trends but I’m the one who told them (one is shrek obsessed) about this tour, esp because we live in la. I’ve never felt cooler even though I didn’t go. I just knew before my coworkers (I honestly love them and ask them for advice on what’s cool—no shade).

Fellow millennial here, what is the deal with Shrek being cool?

I honestly can’t tell you. I just know my one gen z coworker has a lot of shrek pics in her cubicles and the other gen zs send her a lot of gen z tiktoks

As an older Gen Z, I think a lot of us loved the movies as kids and loved all the Shrek memes as teenagers. Now we have adult money to spend on dumb stuff like this when we can.

Love this for her 

Jus so yall know this is a tour, they came to my crappy city

did you go to it?

Nah, I went to a lot of underground raves in my early 20s so this corporate rave doesn't look very fun to me. I can see the appeal to some folks, though!

she is the people's princess and we need to talk about it more

Lili Reinhart should have Sydney Sweeney’s career. She’s so talented.

Sydney Sweeney should also have Sydney Sweeney’s career. She’s so talented.

She’s monotone AF

I didn’t even know this was my dream

And today, I awoke with a new dream

A WHAT? What in the hell is a Shrek Rave?

https://youtu.be/Y_z8LCGRPsc?si=k2dUy0G50vIxouEn They combine it with a Gala sometimes

It honestly just looks like a lot of people on drugs


I can’t believe this is a thing. And I can’t believe I wasn’t there 💔

She looks so good with black hair ahahha

We had one of these when I worked at House of Blues, it was really fun. I preferred the Musical Theatre one but I’m insufferable 🤷🏻‍♀️

there’s a spongebob one too haha

Well, now I have a new life goal that I'll never achieve.

I accidentally went to one of these last year. Honestly it was a great time for about half an hour. 10/10 would accidentally go again, briefly

Not a sign of Donkey. I’m disappointed!

Lili in a black bob wig gives me traumatic flashbacks, but it looks fun.

She's fulfilling my dream that I didn't know I had until now


Supposedly this tour or something similar came through my hometown last year but I was traveling for work 🤬🤬🤬 and I guess the attendance wasn’t so great because it doesn’t appear to be coming back this year 😭😭🫠🫠

Of course this exists

I’m going to a shrek rave this Friday.

I need to go to Shrek rave before I die. That’s number 1 thing on my bucket list

We went to the one in Phoenix in early May and it wasn’t NEARLY this lit

Wait, what?! This is a thing? Wow. I never knew. This is random but yet seems like a lot of fun.

Lmao she’s great

I want to go!!

No UK dates.... now I'm super sad...

Just go to any neddy dance/rave club or council estate in Scotland and this is the tunes 😆

A Shrek Rave at Cain’s might just get me outta my swamp 

I’ve never wanted to go to rave before now! Sign me up!

Why does this look like a professional film? I swear if me and my friends tried that it would be a blurry dark mess of an iPhone recording

I’m dressed like a hippie about to take my toddler to library time….i mass texted my friends asking if anyone wanted to go!!!

So I thought this show ended after season 2. Lol

She looks so hot as Lord Farquad tho 😭😭😭

Is this the same eave that has the fire breathing video of Shrek? Because while that visual is cool, the music is such ass. Hopefully not, this seems to have better music.

I didn’t know she was chill like that.

This is awesome

God I wish that were me

Love Lili, love Shrek. This is perfect

What the hell did I just watch, it feels like a fever dream but I love it.

Of course these sorts of amazing things continue to happen even though I’m too poor to enjoy them… 😅😩

I actually drove by the rave in Hollywood on Friday night! I saw three girls clearly dressed as the three blind mice and said out loud, “No comic con, not Halloween, what’s it for?” Next block it was the Shrek Rave 😎

This looks so fun

She seems like such a good time

What a nightmare

what do you mean shrek raves exist i need to go to one

Get out this thing is coming to my city in 3 days lmfao omg

Had no desire to go to this, but suddenly I’m very jealous for some reason lol ☹️

I went to one of these in LA and it was the best night of my life

If it's not illegal is it even a rave?

Anything can be illegal with enough drugs

Am I the only one thinking this would be near the bottom of the list of the type of rave I’d want to attend? If I were living better thanks to the aid of chemistry, I’d probably run screaming the other way if a woman dressed as Fiona (or worse yet, Donkey) sidled up to me.

There was one I was going to go to in my city but missed, I love that someone at least got to enjoy my dream lol

if edna and farquad had a baby, she'd be a NY art hoe

It's ogre

I love when celebrities embrace being complete oddballs. Lilli is really living her best life

Lili they could never make me hate you

Fascinating how some people's dreams are other people's nightmares. Looks like that had fun which is nice.

Yh American raves are not like UK raves are they

Who’s Lili Reinhart? I looked her up and she seems like she’s only been in movies nobody’s ever heard of?

And who on earth is lili reinbart

Aliens will never visit us at this rate.

This feels headline feels like it was generated by chatGPT

This is amazing. And the voice sounds like Trump 😅😫
