Elijah Wood is to DJ a special “full-blown Lord Of The Rings rave experience”.
Wood, is renowned for starring as Hobbit Frodo Baggins in in the much loved trilogy, Lord Of The Rings, directed by Peter Jackson, as well as reprising the role for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
Now, it would appear that Wood will DJ this upcoming set for Lord Of The Rings. The actor is no stranger to music, having DJed as one of the duo, Wooden Wisdom, which he formed with Zach Cowie.
In 2005, Wood also launched his own Indie record label, Simian Records, which has signed like The Apples in Stereo and Heloise & The Savoir Faire, and also starring in music videos for the artists like The Beastie Boys, The Cranberries, Beastie Boys, and Danko Jones.
This special live rave is to take place at the Cervantes' Masterpiece Ballroom on May 31 for one night only. It has been called a “fantasy-themed event like no other” and “a full-blown Lord of the Rings rave experience set to the sound of carefully curated vinyl selections”.
The description for the show also praised Wood and Cowie for producing “genre-defying vinyl sets that weave together rare gems and beloved classics, with lots of 70’s and 80’s disco”, while encouraging fans of Lord of the Rings to dress up in costumes inspired by the franchise.
“Costumes are encouraged, so dust off your cloaks, and sharpen your elvish ears,” a description reads. “Whether you are a devoted LOTR fan or simply a lover of great music and great vibes, Wooden Wisdom will transport you to Middle Earth and back".

Elijah Wood had previously played a headlining set at Fan Expo Denver at the Convention Center, which also celebrated 25 years of Lord of the Rings.
Over the years, Wood has also been forced to dismiss rumours that he had been performing under the name, 'DJ Frodo', and is in fact a member of Wooden Wisdom.
Speaking to Seth Myers' talk show almost a decade earlier, Wood debunked these rumours, saying: “I’ve had to constantly tell people that that’s no my DJ name, which is so crazy because I would be insane to call myself DJ Frodo".
Speaking of Lord Of The Rings, actresses Ana Taylor-Joy and Kate Winslet have been reportedly lined up to star in the upcoming movie, The Lord Of The Rings: The Hunt For Gollum, which will once again be directed by Peter Jackson. Elijah Wood has also been linked with the project.
