Bunnings confirms it will host a rave after viral TikTok campaign

The iconic retail giant has confirmed it will ‘bring the decks’ and host an unexpected event after a social media push from a well-known Aussie band.

The people wanted to party and now Bunnings has answered the call.

The iconic retail destination will host the country’s first-ever “Bunnings rave” at one of its massive warehouses in August following a sudden and viral TikTok campaign calling for a techno extravaganza at one of its locations.

The TikTok channel of Aussie electronic music duo Peking Duk led the charge, with the pair remixing Bunnings’ famous TV advertisement jingle into a rave track and dancing along frenetically.

In a new video posted to the channel, Peking Duk confirmed the rave was happening.

“The people have spoken and Bunnings have listened. We’re doing this. Y’all made this happen. Oh my God, we’re going to have a rave with Bunnings,” Reuben Styles, one part of Peking Duk alongside Adam Hyde, said.

“We still don’t know where. So pick a spot, pick a state, pick a Bunnings, where do you want to do this party?

“Where are we going to do this? Let’s party, let’s rave.”

A Bunnings spokeswoman confirmed with NewsWire the rave would happen sometime in August.

“We have loved seeing all Aussie music lovers across the country share their enthusiasm for a Bunnings rave,” the spokeswoman said.

“So it comes with great excitement to confirm that together with Peking Duk, What So Not and Kaila, we’ve found a way to give the people what they want – the Bunnings Warehouse Party is happening late- August.

“More details to come soon. Watch this space.”

The wild TikTok campaign kicked off from 19-year-old music producer Kaila, who posted a video with the caption “petition to host a massive rave in Bunnings Warehouse” and a remixed Bunnings dance track.

Peking Duk then followed with their own remix.

The pair rave at a Bunnings store, in the aisles and on an escalator.

“We won’t just match it, we’ll beat it by five per cent,” they say.
