Hedex to Headline Charity Rave in Memory of Friend's Death From Brain Tumor

Hedex is set to headline a charity rave in the UK to pay tribute to his late friend, Dan Cracknell, who tragically died last year.

Cracknell passed away from a rare and aggressive brain tumor, according to Rainbows, a Loughborough hospice caring for babies, children and young people facing severe and terminal illnesses. The facility provided him and his family with care and support in the final days of his life.

One of Cracknell’s visitors at the time was Hedex, a rising superstar in the world of drum & bass music. The EDM.com Class of 2024 star was his favorite DJ, per Rainbows.

“Drum & bass was Dan’s life,” his mother Francesca told Rainbows. “He loved to party and he was always out at a rave.”

In addition to a performance by Hedex, the show promises a performance art lineup of fire breathers, stilt walkers and face-painters for an unforgettable night dedicated to celebrating Cracknell’s life and supporting Rainbows.

The charity rave kicks off at Ashby’s Ciros Nightclub on April 19th and tickets are £20. You can visit the Rainbows website for more information.
