People wanted to party and now Bunnings has answered the call.
The iconic retail destination will host the country’s first “Bunnings rave” at one of its massive warehouses in August, following a sudden viral TikTok campaign calling for a tech extravaganza at one of its locations.
Australian electronic music duo Peking Duk’s TikTok channel spearheaded the initiative, with the pair remixing the famous Bunnings TV advert jingle into a rave track and dancing wildly to it.
In a new video posted on the channel, Peking Duk confirmed that the party would take place.
“The people have spoken and Bunnings have listened. We’re doing it. You guys made it happen. Oh my god, we’re having a party with Bunnings,” said Reuben Styles, who is part of Peking Duk alongside Adam Hyde.
“We don’t know where yet. So pick a location, pick a state, pick a Bunnings, where do you want to have this party?
“Where are we going to do this? We’re going to party, we’re going to have fun.”
A Bunnings spokeswoman confirmed to NCA NewsWire that the party would take place sometime in August.
Reuben Styles, part of Peking Duk alongside Adam Hyde, has announced that Bunnings Warehouse has accepted his offer to host an in-store rave.
It will be the hardware store’s first such musical event and was first proposed by Peking Duk in a previous TikTok.
“We’ve loved seeing all the Australian music lovers from across the country share their excitement for a rave at Bunnings,” the spokeswoman said.
‘It’s with great excitement that we can confirm that, together with Peking Duk, What So Not and Kaila, we have found a way to give the people what they want – the Bunnings Warehouse Party is taking place at the end of August.
More details coming soon. Stay tuned.
The wild TikTok campaign began with 19-year-old music producer Kaila posting a video with the caption “petition to organise a massive rave at Bunnings Warehouse” and a remixed Bunnings dance track.
Peking Duk then followed up with his own remix.
The pair rave in a Bunnings store, in the aisles and on an escalator.
“We will not only match it, we will beat it by five percent,” they say.
