Artful Badger return to the VAULT Festival in Waterloo for the 5th anniversary of our unrivalled annual Valentine’s Ball. Travel to the ends of the Earth and beyond, trek through solar systems and speed past stars as we embark on an outrageously amorous Galactic Love adventure!
Our mission: to spread love and encourage inter-species unions with the explicit goal of making the genetics of creatures across our universe stronger, more resilient and ultimately ensure the successful survival of all animal kind!
Journey through a hyper-galaxy of cosmic sounds and secret rooms where a spectrum of solar flare fire acts, interstellar stalls, boisterous bands, alien games, alluring aerial and interplanetary performances, set the scene for a nucleus of mischief and match making. Hyper-dive into dark matter and waltz through wormholes as you surrender to the explosive emotions and magnetic attractions induced by the Galactic Love Starship.
