A quick one from Dread HQ with everything coming up between now and the end of the month — plus a couple of changes to note, so read on before you make your weekend plans.

⚠️ First, the changes

Friday 10 July — the Acoustic Showcase Night is no longer going ahead. Apologies to anyone who had it penciled in. We had a great wee line up coming together with some great acoustic acts who had mentioned they would like to be part of the night to find most have found they have a show they can’t turn down, forgot they had other commitments or last minute changes have emerged. Lets put a pin in that for next time.

SO Friday 10th will just be The Dread Juke Box Lounge Night - Free Entry to 10pm then Nightclub to 3am as normal.

Saturday 25 July — The chorus fundraiser night can’t go as planned. Sadly the Chorus team have had alot on recently and time has beaten them to put on another epic night of raffles, live acts and raise as much vital funds as possible just like 2025 which was an epic night. We will look at an alternative plan for that night this week. Announcement coming soon — watch this space, the app and our socials.

🎸 Saturday 11 July — Fast Forward

Pop and Rock Covers Night — high-energy hits from the 80s onwards. If you like your Saturday loud and danceable, this is it. Doors 7pm.

🎸 Friday 17 July — JojoCoke

A wide variety of rock classics, grunge anthems, blues and punk — from a band with over a decade on this stage. They know this room and this room knows them. Doors 7pm.

🎸 Saturday 18 July — Alma Fiera

Straight off the back of their 20th anniversary special in June, Alma Fiera are back with rock melodies, powerful vocals and guaranteed good value. Doors 7pm.

🎸 Friday 24 July — Skyline

Rock Covers Night — the mega hits of old, all night long. Doors 7pm.

🎸 Friday 31 July — Gordon’s Alive

Closing out the month with rock classics plus a few surprises of their own. A proper big finish to July. Doors 7pm.

And as always — the nightclub rocks on upstairs till 3am every Friday and Saturday after the live shows. 18+, last entry 1.30am (in before 1am please).
