Good evening. I’ve got an extra ticket for Eli Brown tonight at E1 for sale
Sold out event, it should be a proper banger. Pm me if you want it
My trains to London are a mess - does anyone know what time Virji was on at O2 Brixton last night, so I can decide whether or not it's worth going tonight. Thanks!
Hey, my friends and I are planning to go to NRG Rave, but only for a day since it doesn’t line up with our travel dates. Resident one-day tickets are available, and I could probably find someone with a Tenerife passport, but has anyone done this before or have any recommendations?
Tickets were £20 each but will take offers
Hi All, I live in NYC but am visiting the UK next week for a brief vacation. We're spending time in London and heading over to Bristol for the ec2a 5th anniversary show next Friday - really excited for it all, but wanted to get some local knowledge on a couple things.
I go to a ton of shows here but have never been to one in the UK so wanted to ask if there were any tips, advice or things to be aware of that are significantly different in vibe, culture, etc. For example, from what I've read it sounds like drug dogs are common at UK events (or maybe just festivals?)? That's pretty unheard of in the US so was curious if there are other significant differences to be aware of in advance (generally, not just security)
I also plan to do some record shopping for UKG/speed garage vinyl since that is so hard to find here in the US and usually very expensive to ship from UK stores. From some googling it seems that DNR in Croydon has a lot to offer but wanted to confirm if that's worth prioritizing since it's a little further away from where we'll be spending most of our time in London otherwise. Any other recommendations in London or Bristol for solid record stores? Was also considering Phonica in London and Idle Hands on Bristol but very open to suggestion.
Thanks!
for friday 31st, will sell for how much i bought it for £33.66, tickets are now £39.27 lmk if you're interested, must have DICE app
I’m going in June for the first time and I’ll have either e or md on me. Tips on getting it through plssss
Planning a trip to Fabric and am wondering if there's an annual event that Fabric does particularly well that I should try to build my trip around. For example, at Stereo Montreal, John Digweed has played a marathon set on NYE/NYD for the last few years -- it's also coincidentally his birthday, making it a very special experience. Does Fabric have a particular night where it's at its peak?
I'm particularly interested in long sets -- 6+, 8+, or 10+ hours ideally. Interested in events that have some sort of special importance (e.g., Fabriclive Birthdays?).
I'd love to see Carl Craig, Laurent Garnier, Troxler, Klock, Parrish, Red Axes, Ben UFO, Adam Ten, DJ Harvey, Louie Vega, etc., but open to anything on the house, trance, UKG, electro spectrum.
I'm of course keeping an eye on lineup announcements (am subscribed to the Fabric email list), but am wondering what those in the know would recommend for a great weekend spent there.
im in edinburgh but nothing ever happens here, so trying to branch out. any advice on where to look would be great too!
Hey everyone!
Got something special lined up on Friday 7th March at Unit 58, we’re bringing Schweissbrenner, a German techno heavyweight, to London for the very first time.
If you’re into raw, hard, high-energy techno, this is the guy who’ll absolutely blow your mind.
He’ll be joined by Jonas Lesitoc, also debuting in London, alongside local legends Pavel and Micro Bites delivering some proper hard-hitting sets.
Doors open at 11 PM, and the beats roll until 5 AM. Last entry at 2 AM. Grab your tickets now: https://ra.co/events/2084335
Am going solo, would anyone like to meetup?
Hey guys, I’m currently doing some research into the amount of small music venues that have closed in London recently! Or at least, post covid. If anyone on here knows of any small music venues that have closed in the last few years please drop a comment down below! Not big ones please, like Printworks, I mean local stuff. Hopefully this research will be able to help in keeping venues we love open !! Thanks
Yooo, Traveling to London next week and looking for a real underground rave experience, does Anyone have any recommendations
Preferably no legal raves but if so then the best of the best
The lineup looks so good but my friends are away on the dates so just wondering if anyone else is thinking of going solo?!
title says it all
As above
I'm visiting Paris next weekend (31 Jan). I'm looking for recommendations and company French and British welcome. F, 39
So hope works is doing a thing on Saturday 1st feb and I (f18) really wanna go. I’ve been to some raves in Manchester, Germany and Poland but this will be my first one in Sheffield. If there’s any rave girlies that fancy going lmk. X
I was given a single free ticket for this by a friend who can't go anymore so I'm going alone. I'm looking for others going to this event that I can meetup with beforehand and rave together with. I'm a huge extrovert and love meeting new people, drop me a message if you are going! I usually go to DNB so this will be a lot more of a chill vibe for me.
Anyone going to this event? Let me know as I'm going solo(kinda) and love to meet up with random people and make friends. I'm in a group chat for this event and I will be meeting people from there but I'd love to pick up some more and get a nice squad going!
looking for female friendly and safe raving/dancing mates- any whatsapp groups about?
will be in London that weekend and into heavier techno. Have heard E1 as a venue isn't great. What are the chances it won't be swamped for this one?
Hey guys, 29M, Indian here.
I'm visiting London for a month. Looking to go to the iconic venues like E1, Fold, Phonox, Village Underground during my time here. Would somebody like to tag along?
Hi I live in brighton but have never been to a rave here yet. I am looking for like minded individuals who love raving and can go to raves in brighton together
I feel like the information on there is so minimal for each DJ and event. Unless you already know a DJ, it’s so much work to go try to find who is playing on Spotify or SoundCloud. Does anyone know any good alternatives that allow you to discover local underground artists/collectives more easily? Living in London so any local alternatives would be great
