Twisted

Where: The Classic Grand in Glasgow

Up for a late night of hardcore/hardstyle bangers? We've got a stunning one for you here.

If you’re a bit of a party veteran, you’ll probably be familiar with the brands Darkside and InfeXious. If not, we'll give you a quick rundown. Darkside is the UK's longest-running hardcore party brand. Similarly, InfeXious is a beloved Scottish hardstyle event and record label.

Both absolutely incredible and adored, they teamed up to bring this Twisted night to Glasgow and make every raver's dream come true.

Dutch hardcore DJ Partyraiser has been announced for this one, and more will be announced soon! Grab your tix soon before they move up a tier.

La Potion Presents: Or:la b2b Pariah

When: Friday 11th August 2023

Where: Meraki in Liverpool

One of the most underrated DJs in the UK takes over one of our favourite Liverpool clubs to deliver a party for everyone but with a focus on queer collectives, communities, and dancers.

For this one, Or:la goes b2b with Pariah for an extended set after Champz spins some bangers. Earlier in the evening Plush DJs All Trades and Luna Thee Frenchie go b2b to warm up the crowd and get us all vibing. Genres at this night include house, techno, electronic, and breaks.

Musically diverse and full of incredible talent, including professional dancers, it’s going to be absolutely unreal.

Full Circle W/ Amine Edge & DANCE, Josh Butler, Ben Pearce & more

When: Saturday 16th September 2023

Where: The Progress Centre in Manchester

Deep house, tech house, and house will take over a stunning Manc venue this September with loads of skilled disc jockeys.

The Progress Centre is one of the newest venues in Manchester but already one of the city’s best. It’s already hosted some incredible events and, with the announcement of this one, it’s clear they don’t plan on ending that streak any time soon.

Full Circle is all about revisiting the golden era of deep house, so if you pine for 2010-2015 deep house belters, this event was clearly made for you.

Newsham Scream Park

When: multiple dates from Friday 13th October - Sunday 5th November 2023

Where: Newsham Park Orphanage And Asylum in Liverpool

This Halloween attraction is gearing up to scare the life out of us all.

You and whoever else dares will wander through the Insanitorium, The Orphanage, and the strictly 18+ HELLuminati. Honestly, just hearing it's 18+ has scared us off.

Right, we’ll tell you one thing. Last year, everyone was putting on the wildest, most terrifying Halloween events. And we were all lapping them up, with tickets selling out rapidly. If this year’s anything like last, these tickets will last about 2 minutes.

If you want to get spooky as hell this Halloween, secure your tickets now as they’ll genuinely vanish.

Terminal V Halloween Trilogy

When: Friday 27th, Saturday 28th, and Sunday 29th October 2023

Where: Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh

Everyone's favourite electronic events brand is back with three separate dates over the Halloween weekend.

Promising that crystal clear and super loud sound paired with otherworldly visuals and stage designs, if you're in or around Edinburgh, it'd be daft to spend Halloween any other way.

Choose Friday headed up by man of the moment Ben Hemsley, Saturday with Nina Kraviz, or Sunday with blk., 9x9, and Trym. Or soldier on like the natural party animal you are and secure your tickets for all three. Halloween only comes once a year!

Square One: Halloween Festival with HEDEX

When: Saturday 21st October 2023

Where: Warehouse TBA in Lincoln

We’re beyond shocked this one made it onto New On Skiddle. We were certain it’d sell out on Friday after an overwhelmingly positive response to tickets, watching them fly out.

Hedex tops the bill at this secret Halloween warehouse rave (don't worry, it's only ten minutes from the city centre). Joining him are some massive names on the circuit including Phibes, A Little Sound, Eksman, Born on Road, Monrroe, and more. Beyond solid.

If this is your dream Halloween bash, don’t be waiting around. Only a tiny percentage of the tickets remain. And we guarantee they’ll be gone by the end of the day.
