It’s back folks! ZOOLU returns for its 24th year, and it’s slated to be bigger than ever. Returning to the Metropolitan for its third straight year means lots of activities are in the work. This year, ZOOLUS welcomes headliners Boombox Cartel [Saturday, Feb. 10] and Steve Aoki on Lundi Gras [Monday, Feb. 12]. Joining them is Whipped Cream and Said the Sky [Feb. 10], plus Grandtheft and Max Styler [Feb. 12].

ZOOLU is one of Disco Donnie Presents longest running parties, spanning a little over two decades. The event originated long before electronic music became such an American staple. This event, which takes its name from the Zulu Mardi Gras parade, started in 1995 at the State Palace where it maintained it’s run as one of the region’s most well known and well-loved dance parties.
