02.31’s 5th Birthday | Sat 1 Oct | Rainbow | Sold Out
On its fifth birthday, 02.31 presents a musical showcase spanning six arenas, and with only phase one of the line up announced so far, there are already enough big names here to justify the price of entry alone. Grime pioneer and eskibeat progenitor Wiley, homegrown 02.31 resident turned global superstar Hannah Wants and drum and bass DJ/producer Shy FX top a star-studded bill among legends of the past, heroes of the now and leading lights of the future.

Ouse: Party at My Yard | Fri 30 Sep | Boxxed | £12
Seeing as Ouse started life as a house party thrown by BCU students in Erdington, it makes sense that they would take the concept back to its roots with their first party of the new term. And this time, the Fables team are going one better, using all their art and production expertise to create a full-scale mansion in Boxxed. Expect everything from house, techno and disco in the Warehouse to the darker flavours of jungle and drum and bass in the Attic – oh, and make sure to wear your wackiest piece of fancy dress. This one’s going to get out of hand. See our feature here.
