Sour Patch Kids and DJ Alison Wonderland collab on a free candy rave this week
The rave-ready pop-up celebrates the launch of Sour Patch Kids Glow Ups, a new limited-edition strawberry-watermelon gummy laced with edible confetti that literally glows under blacklight. It's candy engineered for the dance floor—and the 'gram.
The warehouse party-meets-neon dreamscape will let guests sample the new candy, sip glowing cocktails (we assume) and dance under UV light to an electric set from the Australian DJ, whose high-energy mixes and cult following make her a perfect match for the brand's chaotic-good aesthetic.

The sugar rush won't stop at the dance floor. The space will be filled with interactive experiences like a Blacklight Beauty Bar, a Snapchat AR Mirror and photo ops that'll keep your followers guessing which filter you used (spoiler: it's real). There will even be surprise giveaways, like festival tickets, merch and maybe even enough candy to fuel your next night out.
Entry is free with RSVP, but don't sleep on it—space is limited and it's first come, first served. Doors open at 9 pm and you must be 18 years old or older to attend.

Rebel Wilson devastated by second loss months after grandfather died
Rebel Wilson took to social media this weekend to commemorate her late grandmother who passed away at the impressive age of 95 - and who joined the star at her wedding last year Rebel Wilson has been left heartbroken by the death of her beloved grandmother - just months after her grandfather passed away. The Pitch Perfect star shared touching details of her grandmother Gar's life. Taking to social media on Sunday, Rebel, 45, shared a montage of images of her grandmother - sound tracked by the song Somewhere Over The Rainbow, sung by Judy Garland. The song choice had special meaning which gave insight into her grandmother's mischievous personality. Rebel wrote: "Goodbye to my incredible Grandma Gar - the BEST grandmother ever. She passed away at 95 years old." She continued: "Her favourite movie was The Wizard of Oz because when she was a young girl she was banned by her father from seeing it for being 'naughty' but years later finally got to watch it." Rebel then revealed that her grandmother was deeply proud of her and the acting career she carved out for herself. She explained: "She used to keep a scrapbook of news clippings of my career because she was so proud and even last night was telling paramedics about me as she was being taken to hospital - recounting her glorious holiday on the Queen Mary that I had given her as a present when I had started making it big in Hollywood." The Australian actress went on: "When I was 11 she took me and my sister to America - it was one of the best week's of my entire life. We took her on SPACE MOUNTAIN at Disneyland saying 'it's not that scary Gar!' and she screamed the entire way down holding on for dear life. I'm glad her last 'big' outing was to our wedding at the Opera House." She continued: "She loved watching tennis, musicals, neenish tarts, but most importantly she LOVED her family - her children, grandchildren and now great grandchildren. She leaves behind an incredible legacy. She had a hair salon back in the day when few women owned businesses. She endured so much in her life and was always so kind and sweet. To me she is a Queen and I proudly carry her royal name of Elizabeth." And she concluded: "Love you Gar and love to all my family at this very sad time." The tragic news came months after Rebel revealed how delighted she and her now wife, Ramona Agruma, 40, were able to welcome Gar to their wedding last year. Rebel wrote in an Instagram post last December: "My sister Liberty officiated our legal wedding in Sydney! It meant my 94 year old grandmother Gar could come which was very special to us to have her included and just felt right to do it in my hometown at this glorious time of the year." Rebel's grandfather, who she affectionately called Poppy, died in December last year. She shared a photo of herself with her relative on Instagram Stories at the time along with a message stating: "RIP Poppy – 97 years young. The best grandpa!"
