Halloween in London 2010

Halloween London 2010

The witching hour is almost upon us again. Luckily Halloween falls on a weekend this year so you can really go for it! Halloween in London can be a minefield of hundreds of events in hundreds of bars and clubs – some wierd, some wacky, some a let down and some mind-blowingly brilliant. I have been scouring all the bars and clubs in London to discover the best Halloween nights/events in 2010 and these are my recommended ones:

1) Delphic present Acolyte – The Warehouse Project (Southwark)

The Warehouse Project is an institution in Manchester. Bringing the best DJs to Manchester, every “Project” is always sold out. This is their first trial in London and by the looks of the line up they will become an institution in the world’s greatest city! The “warehouse” for this event will be in Ewer Street Car Park, near Southwark. There is always something quite special about these transformed car park events! So to the line-up…Delphic (live), The Whip (live), Fenech Soler (recently toured with Groove Armada – live) plus many others. So expect a night of house and indie fusion. Tickets are sold out but i would strongly recommend you look on various ticket sites to get one. This will be one of the best Halloween nights in London! 2030-0400  with last entrance at 2330 and strictly 18+

2) Urban Nerds @ XOYO (Shoreditch)

XOYO is the new kid on the block of “must-visit” venues/bars in Shoreditch. Not open for long but have already hosted some of the biggest London nights out this year. So what have they got for Halloween 2010? A cracker! Hosted by Joker and MC Nomad and a 2 hour set from Circus Records, this will be a night of dubstep to be remembered. Room 2 goes darker with bass and electro beats and underground garage. Also, they promise some “terrifying surprises”. £12 saver ticket and £15 on the door.

3) The Haunted Ballroom @ Scala (Kings Cross)

A regular on the London Halloween circuit, The Haunted Ballroom is no ordinary night out. Don’t come to Scala expecting just DJs and Halloween decorations – this night is a veritable feast of different shows, spectacles and DJs. The different rooms are also being decked out by their art directors who have worked on films and music videos. The acts to expect include dark ventriloquists, provocative poets, award winning comedians, live drumnbass and vintage rock n rollers! Probably the most eclectic night on offer in London this Halloween. 2100-0400. Tickets £18.50.

4) Detone’s Halloween Scream Up @ East Village (Shoreditch)

East Village is consistently one of the best bars / clubs in Shoreditch. Wether you fancy a drink in the bar upstairs or dance all night in the club downstairs, you are rarely disappointed. All Shoreditch bars are pulling out all the stops for Halloween but East Village have a brlliiant line-up promised. Darren Emerson’s label night returns with the best in house and tech house downstairs and upstairs expect a mixture of disco, funk, reggae and soul! There really should be something for everyone to enjoy here! Fancy dress is not compulsory (phew) but there is a prize on offer for the best costume. 2100-0330. £8 before 11pm and £10 after.

5) Death at the Disco @ Cargo (Hoxton)

A ghoulish story haunts Cargo. A couple of young lovers are rumoured to have died together under the railway arches, where Cargo is now housed. They are often heard mumbling and speaking to each other in that very spot but no one can ever hear exactly what they say. Every Halloween Cargo throws Death at the Disco to celebrate these two young lovers. The venue are promising a complete revamp for Halloween with Disco Blood Bath, Trailer Trash and Eric Volta all on the decks. I am sure this will not be a let down and if you listen close enough you may hear those young lovers enjoying themselves too. Tickets are £12 in advance and £15 on the door but be warned, the early bird tickets have already sold out.

I hope these 5 nights offer something for everyone and I am sure you will have a memorable Halloween in London if you pick one. Get out the house, away from the trick or treaters and enjoy a ghoulish night out in London!
