Produced by Andres Rigal, Thunder Ground aims to pick up the torch and pay homage to the nightclub roller rinks and infamous Playboy Mansion Roller Skating parties of the late 70s and early 80s. However in addition to 80s excessiveness and a disco hangover, the Thunder Ground will be feature the best DJs in Los Angeles, from all corners of nightlife giving DJs and skaters a chance to spin & roll
bounce to their own flavor. The rink which will be located in the former SummerTramp Pride 10,000 sq ft space will exist as a VIP experience accessible with the purchase of either a daily VIP ticket or a weekend pass. The VIP Ticket will include exclusive access to Thunder Ground’s outdoor roller rink, 2 free drinks at the VIP bar & lounge, food vendors, upgraded bathrooms and a main stage viewing area. Also included in the ticket price are traditional-style roller skates for rent, in part because they're easier for inexperienced skaters to handle than in-line skates, but more importantly because you've got to have the right tools to groove. (Skaters are welcome to bring their own wheels, although there's no drop in admission price.) Thunder Ground opens with the festival on Friday, June 6th and closes on Sunday, June 8th. Expect daytime summer realness on wheels and roller queen diva decadence under the stars and into the night. GLIDE WITH PRIDE
