Rave Video Archive
Original VHS, television, documentaries, news, interviews and filmed rave footage from across the history of UK rave culture.
A huge thank you to everyone who recorded, ripped, digitised and uploaded rave footage over the years. Much of this history survives because people took the time to preserve and share it. Rave Archive UK has done the digging — searching through the web and bringing those scattered recordings together — so ravers can explore, remember and enjoy the history in one place.
