Running from 10:30pm to 3:30am, AFTA DARK Nottingham will bring the seminal party series back to the underground, providing weekly DJs from both the city’s rich local talent and beyond, intimate atmospheres, and impeccable house, minimal and tech house soundtracks, all in the unique late-night venue of Secret Vault. 

The series will launch in the East Midlands on Saturday 19th September with an opening party fronted by James Poole. Of the 15 already announced shows, notable faces gracing Nottingham’s underground are Reeshy, Hannah Wants, Joss Dean and Robbie Doherty, culminating in a NYE show to bring in 2027. 

Already revered as a hotspot for gritty underground shows in the Midlands, AFTA DARK has become a seminal spot in the Second City with Nottingham next on its radar.

Tickets for all AFTA DARK Nottingham events from September to December are available now on Skiddle.
