Lenny Pearce Announces 'Reef Rave Tour' with Spongebob Squarepants This Summer
DJ Lenny Pearce is bringing his underwater-themed SpongeBob party to cities across the nation.
Renowned pioneer of Toddler Techno, Lenny Pearce, is hitting the road to celebrate the 25th anniversary of everybody’s favourite undersea sensation, SpongeBob SquarePants.
Crafting fun and kid-friendly electronic compositions, Pearce has worked with some of the biggest and best-known cartoon characters and children’s entertainment companies over the journey, making him the perfect candidate to celebrate everything SpongeBob.
The Reef Rave Tour is not only an underwater-inspired music spectacular, but each date on the tour will include roving performers, face painting and a special appearance from Pearce’s good friend Kuma the Monkey.
“My Reef Rave is the ultimate day out for the modern family, from newborns through to grandparents - I've seen them all from the last tour,” shares Pearce. “It's an interactive show for the kids, and fun music for both kids AND parents. Families always dress up at my shows, so I'm excited to see how the outfits look at an underwater-themed event.”
