A vehement partnership between prolific artists and brands, a passion and drive to bring something fresh to a city, and a deep understanding of what crowds want, it's a recipe for success if ever we saw one. FACE has become a household name in the world of electronic music events, and this November and December their legendary status is reinforced by the names sitting at the top of their line ups.   

After their inception into the Birmingham dance music scene back in 2009, FACE proved from the word go that this would be an underground event like no other, a constant stream of jaw-dropping line ups and three quality rooms within the walls of The Rainbow Venues, established them one of the city's leading club nights.

After five truly incredible years, FACE have decided to no longer run their shows on a weekly basis. Instead, the rave experts will be directing all of their energy toward some very special events taking place in a variety of familiar, new and unused spaces, starting with Rainbow Venues' newest rave space NextDoor.

Jackathon with Heidi & special guests Friday 28th November 

The Jackathon brand, and the woman behind it have a remarkable presence in the house music circuit. Heidi and her mighty parties have a sterling reputation; her Radio 1 show is as popular as ever, and she has worked tirelessly to make her mark on the current house and techno generation.

Her love of old school hip-hop and booty shaking bass results in sets with a little something extra (check out her Essential Mix above), a far cry from the dry and somewhat boring house sets delivered at some events. There's a loyal army of Jackathoners that join the queen when called for her events, and she's sure to be welcoming some of the best to Birmingham in November. Grab your tickets here

Joris Voorn & special guests Saturday 13th December

Joris Voorn is one of the scene's most influential figureheads. Through releasing tracks with substance and style, Voorn has prevailed with credibility and has took the modern industry by storm. 

The Dutch DJ is no stranger to some of the globe's most renowned venues and events (check out his set from Awakenings above), his accessible yet distinctive house and techno productions are laced with broken beats, atmospheric touches and blasts of techno. Get your tickets for the event here
