Magic Door | Fri 4 Aug | LAB11 | from £16.50
If you don’t plan on pilgrimaging to any festivals this summer, this is your one chance to become initiated in the mystical Magic Door experience. Stopping off on their ecstatic travels from Gottwood and Love International to deliver their only UK club-based party until the autumn, the ineffably brilliant, inexpressibly glittery Magic Door crew return to LAB11 with new resident Mr Doris in tow. Mr Doris is renowned for his residency at Hi Ibiza and his sun-soaked daytime beach sets, immensely danceable and infused with the sounds of soul, hip hop and disco. No words can adequately prepare neophytes for the experience that lies beyond the fabled magic door… See our feature here. www.ticketgorilla.co.uk
