Drum & Bass Events in Nottingham

31 upcoming drum and bass events and raves in Nottingham.

Nottingham has been running its own raves since jungle first spread beyond London. Bushdoctor was formed in 1993 by Arms and Crucial, two breakdancers who met at Rock City, and went on to stage large jungle events around the country. Detonate grew out of basement sessions in the late 1990s into one of the most respected bass promoters in the UK, working with both of the city's universities. For years The Bomb was the club, until promoters and punters drifted to Stealth, which opened in 2004 on Masonic Place next door to Rock City and booked mainly drum and bass, garage and grime in its early years; The Bomb closed in 2005. The MC lineage is strong as well, with BassLayerz, the trio of DJ Slipz, MC Spyda and MC Blu Bomma, based here. Nights now spread across smaller rooms: Secret Vault on Talbot Street has a 360 degree stage in the middle of its floor, the Secret Garden off Trinity Walk is a semi outdoor space, Fisher Gate Point is a newer arts venue, and the Nest, Notts County's event hall on Iremonger Road, takes bigger shows.
