What's on in Brixton: live music, DJ nights, comedy, club and entertainment news

[editor]

I reckon we could use a more club/gig focussed thread to complement this one Brixton food & drink news: new restaurants, bars, pop ups, cafes and more, so here goes.

And kicking it off:

Will this be fenced off so you have to buy pricey pints from the pub?

Will this be fenced off so you have to buy pricey pints from the pub?

I didn't go but I don't think it was fenced off.

I'm doing what might prove to be my first and last gig at the new-look Effra Social in Saturday if anyone fancies popping in. It's free all night.

So I finally got to DJ again after 17 months in the wilderness:

It’s been a long 17 months since we last hosted a party at Brixton’s Effra Social and it was great to be behind the decks again in front of lively crowd who wanted to dance the night aw…

Very very busy last night and now open till 2am again

Live music and DJs fill Brixton’s Hootananny on a busy Thursday night

The dark days of Covid lockdown seemed a distant memory last night as Brixton’s Hootananny was bursting with people and music, as live bands and DJs played to a packed house. Here’s so…

That was hard work - I really don't like DJing on my own so much - but after I'd got the message across that I wouldn't be playing afrobeat all night, I got the crowd going!

Things got lively last night on Brixton’s Coldharbour Lane as the Queen Bitch club night returned to the Dogstar. Brixton Buzz DJs were on the decks spinning pop party classics all night. Her…

Alabama 3
I have 2 tickets for tonight (18th) at Jamm.

Preference goes to:
1) posting regularity
2) commitment to make a contribution to the server fund

This Saturday!

Celebrating the life and music of Joe Strummer – Off The Cuff, Sat 21st Aug 2021

To celebrate what have been the late great Joe Strummer’s 69th birthday, no less than five bands will be playing the Off The Cuff venue in Herne Hill on Saturday night.

And tonight as the Effra Social:

 

[editor]

I never realised how insanely popular Gremio is these days. It was way too busy for me - and not my kind of thing anyway - but it was a nice touch having a sax player accompanying the DJ.

Nice to be back in the Academy last night, for Bicep. £6.55 for a can of Carlsberg though!

 

[pesh]

Nice to be back in the Academy last night

yes!

 

[editor]

The Dogstar was packed last night with the after crowd. Great to have the Academy back!

 

[jimbarkanoodle]

Indeed. A shame they dont seem to let smokers out for a fag though! I ended up having to smoke on the dancefloor, along with many others.

I had an after beer down station road- people not from the area couldn't quite believe how cheap a bottle of Super Bock was.

At a loose end tonight, where can I wander down to tonight and have a dance locally?

Tonight, there's the Effra Social and Dogstar (free). There'll probably be something on at the Albert too. If you want to pay, Gremio will probably be packed, as will Hootananny.

I'm at the Dogstar on Saturday night, btw

Sorry I meant the Hoot. I think they've got a house DJ at the Effra tonight (look up their Insta).

There is a good DJ playing funk in the garden at the moment, whilst playing a flute along with it.
