When: Saturday 18th February 2023
Roll up, roll up! One of the best venues in Brighton is going off with The Road To Eldorado presented by Cirque Du Soul. The Arch will be completely transformed into a mythical jungle playground, giving us a flavour of what can be expected from El Dorado Festival in July.
In terms of tunes, house, drum and bass, hip-hop, UKG, and disco will be blaring across three rooms, so you can dip in and out of different vibes with over 750 other ravers. And what’s a good tune without killer pyro? Tunes will be given an extra punch with CO2 jets, sparks, and confetti. So far, we know Goddard will be on the decks, and more names will be announced soon.

When: Friday 17th February 2023
Where: The Lofts in Newcastle Upon Tyne
The Lofts in the Toon know how to put on a proper rave, and do so pretty much every Friday night. However, this time round, it's particularly special, as they are joined by rising North East legend Schak, who returns to as part of his headline tour.
You may have seen Schak on your social media, thanks to his ever-increasingly bonkers guerilla DJ stunts, where he has done everything from DJing on the metro and Newcastle buses to playing St James Park, to now planning on playing an Ice Rink. But on this night, following the success of his huge hit on Trick, he will no doubt have us 'Jumping all around' the dance floor, once again.
He will be joined by Loft resident Jonny Burn & locals Daniel Persson / Thompa / Tricky Rick for a very Northern starlit line-up, indeed.

When: Thursday 23rd February 2023
Where: Hot Water Comedy Club Hardman Street in Liverpool
There are very few people around the country who haven't heard of Hot Water Comedy Club by now. The scouse comedy mecca, most notably hosted by legendary comic Paul Smith, puts on weekly nights on a Thursday where four of the biggest names in the game come down for a night filled with barrels and barrels of laughs.
This night is one of particular note. Performing will be the scouse icon, and one-half of the Have a Word podcast, Adam Rowe; One of Manchester's most sought-after comedians, Mick Ferry; and the uproariously funny Phil Chapman have already been announced, with one more still to come.
A night with just these three would be enough to sell us a ticket, but with one more on the cards, this one is bound to go down as one of the best nights at Hot Water in recent memory. Just drop everything and get the tickets. You won't regret it.

When: Saturday 18th - Sunday 19th February 2023
Where: Motion in Bristol
Enigmatic Australian party starter, Partiboi69 brings his zany live show to Motion Bristol next month, joining an already stellar programme of events happening at the superclub in the early part of 2023.
CEO of Mutual Pleasure Records, internationally acclaimed DJ and producer, martial arts expert and social media content king, he's seemingly a man with limitless talents. With an off-kilter sense of fashion, always donning what looks to be a desktop PC headset, a penchant for ghetto house and techno, and a proven mastery of using green screens (see any of his music videos), he's also something of an internet sensation.
For a truly entertaining evening, we highly recommend catching Partiboi69's unique show at Motion this February.

Folamour presents House of Love
Image: Folamour on Facebook
When: Friday 24th February 2023
Where: O2 Academy Leeds in Leeds
Coming to the O2 Academy in Leeds is wavy techno connoisseur Folamour, with his new labels club night of the same name, House of Love. The label is the DJ's way of creating an environment for you to dream, whilst also creating a safe space for attendees to dance and share experiences, perpetually in line with the House of Love values.
Folamour is a sure-fire night of the highest quality nowadays, with the producer more than cementing himself within the techno scene. If House of Love is even half as good as it sounds then you quite simply can't miss it, and by the sounds of the reaction to this night already, it's going to be yet another belter for Folamour and his rocketing career.
