Great night, good mixture in the crowd, friendly in general. I haven't been to the venue in over 20 years so it was good to be back there. They could do with more security in general but it felt safe in there.

Andy C was amazing but I felt like there were too many people there. I love a busy rave but that must have been over capacity?

About

The Old Fire Station is a unique club in Bournemouth and is home to a great line up of diverse events. The club hosts everything from dance, electronic, d'n'b, house and alternative, meaning there's a club night for everyone! Since 1995 the venue has acted as night club for the Students' Union at Bournemouth University, while also being open to members of the public for a variety of gigs throughout the year. We live in the grade 2 listed ex-central fire station on the Lansdowne, a stones throw from the railway station and surrounded by an awesome selection of post night out food options! Over our lifetime we've had an amazing list of performers take to the stage, including the likes of Bloc Party, Ed Sheeran, Groove Armarda, Dizzee Rascal, Pendulem and David Guetta. In a week you can enjoy three regular nights, with District (Alternative) on Mondays, TNB (pop and r'n'b) on Tuesdays, and the legendary Lollipop (pop anthems) on Fridays.
