Across parts of Europe, electronic music events are increasingly being held in churches and former religious buildings, alongside more traditional rave spaces like warehouses, clubs, and outdoor industrial sites.
A great example is the Manchester Cathedral, which has hosted events like the Manchester 360 rave:

The vibe feels oddly fitting, in that it's communal, immersive, almost “spiritual,” even if totally secular.
With this in mind, for those who rave in Europe:
A. Do you think churches could become a common or even preferred rave venue in European nightlife, or is this just a passing trend?
B. For ravers, do you prefer the atmosphere of churches/cathedrals or more traditional rave venues like warehouses and clubs?
