Kandiween – Digital
Kandi Island is a student staple. It’s brought me some of my best and worse nights out, so for me is hit-and-miss. The only guaranteed Digi will ever give you is sweat infested, overcrowded and likely underage-packed room.
Dead Famous – Livello
Whilst Livello isn’t my particular cup of tea, the Dead Famous event seems pretty interesting. Not as student-orientated as the likes of Digital (the prices alone will tell you that), Livello invites a more mature audience. However, their theme for dressing up as your favourite dead superstar will surely provide some immature fun.
Jungle Halloween – Tup Tup
For anyone looking for R&B, and Hip-Hop rather than house and dance, Tup Tup is your place. It’s a more relaxed vibe than the likes of Digital and Skint, and as such will attract a different audience.
Gimme Gimme – Soho Rooms
My friends and I had to do a group democracy for where we’re going, but if it was up to me, Soho would be the first choice. Not just because the name is related to ABBA but with the numerous floors, you’re bound to find at least one suitable to your taste.
Skint Haunted House – The WonderBar
3 trebles for 9 quid had me and my friends sold. Every time I’ve been WonderBar I’ve had a good time, but have no idea what to expect on Halloween on such a busy night. But, I’m optimistic, so if you’re looking for cheap prices, maybe a treble and don’t want to pay a skyrocket for tickets, WonderBar is your place, and I’ll see you there.
Skint Halloween – The Points, Passing Clouds & Filthy’s
Skint Wonder Bar and Skint at the point are two different stories. Last year I went, and it was so overcrowded queues were escorted to Filthy’s. But over in The Points the basement dance floor doesn’t offer much joy either, it’s a case of picking between chewing your hand off or stubbing every single toe.
Utopiar: The Final Destination – The Lofts
Self-proclaimed ‘number 1 House & Tech show in the North East’ promises a good night out. My take on The Lofts is more of a Livello suited to students, however, when everyone’s in fancy dress I don’t know how mature you can keep the vibe.
