Luminopolis (formerly The Synergy Project) is a magical indoor festival, combining musicians, Djs, Vjs, performers, and artists from all corners of creativity, joined by various proactive NGO’s and charities with the expressed aim to make a difference.

Luminopolis strives to create an optimistic approach in raising awareness on the many crucial issues affecting our world today. The events gather some of the UK’s leading creative multimedia organizations joined by international NGO’s such as Oxfam, Survival, Speak, Ecoshelter, WDM, Down2Earth, Greenpeace, Campaign Against Climate Change to provide just the right mix of open hearted enjoyment and meaningful reflection for a new direction.

In a society in which generally perceives clubbing as a form of escapism associated with values of transgression, Luminopolis re-invented the clubbing experience by transforming it into an ‘educational’ tool, associating healthy values of sustainability and social justice to strong role models such as respected artists and performers of the entertainment industry. Creating awareness with more efficient means to reach directly a young audience that might be otherwise reluctant to receive, respect, and incorporate such messages when proposed by conventional sources.

For 5 years Luminopolis continues to inspire people from all walks of life to re-evaluate their views on club culture and beyond…

IT WAS TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY:

THE "SECOND SUMMER OF LOVE" 20th ANNIVERSARY SYMPOSIUM

Like the 'First Summer of Love' which started in Haight-Ashbury and went on to change the world, this important happening spread fast from places like London and Ibiza and likewise changed the world. We invite you to participate as we go back in time to 1988 and see why, where, when and how the 'Second Summer of Love' happened and the impact it had on both the Mainstream and the Counterculture.

A panel featuring Counterculture visionary FRASER CLARK (founder of the legendary groundbreaking alternative club 'Megatripolis') and KATE 'MAGIC' WOOD (author of the much awaited forthcoming book on the history of the 'Second Summer of Love': '88: The Untold History of a Revolution), Mark Heley (Waveform Festival) and other special guests will help lead the path to the past with a view to understanding the present state of the rave scene and navigating into the future as well. Music and film from the period will feature as well. This event is a don't miss for all Luminopolitans.
