Environmental protesters are planning a series of raves around Britain’s busiest motorway this weekend to rally against new oil and gas developments.
Activists for Insulate Britain have aligned themselves with a number of protest groups to conduct the raves around the M25 on Saturday at midday.
There are four demos planned at unknown locations, which will take aim at the cost of living crisis as well as the country’s reliance on fossil fuel energy, The Sun reports.
Ravers could find themselves imprisoned for breaking a protesting ban on London’s orbital route.

One party named ‘Staying Alive on the M25’ has been organised by campaigners Gabriella Ditton, 27, from Norwich, with 380 already signed up to attend.
Ms Ditton has already received a suspended sentence earlier this month after blocking part of the M25 in a protest.
Conservative MP Jonathan Gullis said: ‘Yet again, a minority of the crusty Wokerati are willing to endanger others.
‘It will cause chaos for families coming home after a break following a tough two years.
‘These middle class hippies are hell-bent on imposing green extremist ideals on people regardless of how hard-up that will make working people.’

16 environmental protesters were handed jail sentences recently after staging blockades of Britain’s roads last autumn. A further 18 received suspended sentences.
In an online post about Saturday’s planned raves, Insulate Britain stated: ‘We failed to move our irresponsible government to take meaningful action to prevent thousands of us from dying in our cold homes during the energy price crisis.
‘We have failed to make this heartless government put its people over profit and insulate our homes to do our part in lowering the UK’s emissions.
‘We have failed to encourage our government to get up from their drinks parties, go to their desk and get on with the job.’
The group went on: ‘So our next campaign of civil resistance against the betrayal of this country must be even more ambitious.’
Nicola Bell, from Highways England, said: ‘We will work with police and other partners to limit the effects of protests.’
