The Rave That Changed Everything

Every Tier of Night Out
From North Laine craft pubs in Brighton to 3,000-capacity superclubs in Leeds and Liverpool's Baltic Triangle warehouse raves — the UK covers every format of a night out within walking distance in any city.
Live Music Capital of the World
More live music venues per capita than almost any country. Brixton Academy, Glasgow's King Tut's, Bristol's Thekla, Edinburgh's Fringe — legendary rooms producing legendary nights every week of the year.
