For immediate release: June 17, 2025
Vancouver, B.C. – Public Disco and SLAB are teaming up to present a ticketed, 19+ event on Saturday, July 19 at one of the City’s most unique venues—the City Centre Artist Lodge in Mount Pleasant. The open-air party runs from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. and will feature legendary house acts Soul Clap and Derrick Carter in a rare Vancouver appearance. The venue is set for redevelopment, and this is expected to be Public Disco’s final event at the site. Tier 2 tickets are on sale now.
“Public Disco is proud to return to Mount Pleasant with one of our most ambitious lineups to date featuring Soul Clap and Derrick Carter,” says Nickolas Collinet, Executive Director of Public Disco Society. “The City Centre Artist Lodge has played a meaningful role in Vancouver’s cultural scene, and we’re grateful to host another event there that brings people together through music, art and shared experience. As the site prepares for redevelopment, this year’s event is both a celebration and a farewell to the vibrant and memorable venue.”
The Public Disco x SLAB Block Party will be the first 19+ ticketed event in Public Disco’s 2025 Summer Series presented by 2 Hoots Hard Iced Tea. This edition brings together artists from across North America to Public Disco’s Fizz Mobile Stage, including headlining sets from Soul Clap (New York) and Derrick Carter (Chicago), alongside Vancouver favourites Max Ulis, DJ dood and Sayang. The lineup, curated by Max Ulis of Bass Coast Festival and SLAB, reflects a shared love for dance music that bridges cities, scenes and communities.
“SLAB is excited to collaborate with Public Disco once again, to bring Soul Clap and Derrick Carter to the City Centre Artist Lodge,” says Max Ulis, founder and producer of SLAB Events. “This venue has become a special place for the community, and we’re looking forward to a full day of music from some of the most respected names in house alongside a strong lineup of local talent.”
