Euphonic 25th Birthday

Euphonic 25th Birthday - 20th February 2027

11:00pm – 5:00am

We invite you to join us for a very special celebration, marking the 25th anniversary of Euphonic. This event will be one last unforgettable party dedicated to the memory of our dear friend and the driving force behind everything Euphonic, Gareth Elkins, also known as Evil Ed or Groof. Tragically, Gareth passed away in March 2025 after battling a brain tumor. This will be a unique, one-time event in honour of Gareth’s legacy and the Euphonic community.

In addition to celebrating Gareth’s life, we will be raising funds for some important charities: the National Bullying Helpline, which provides vital assistance to those affected by bullying, and the Glioblastoma Research Organization, dedicated to advancing research and treatment for brain tumors.
