Hoko 10 have thrown their ring into the hat for the “where should you go to spend your bank holiday Sunday” by announcing Obsessed. The launch party for this event will be Bank Hliday Sunday, celebrating the arrival of the new secret VIP room (oops its not a secret now).

To attract the crowds there is free entry if you have lady bits before 10PM (no sexism here), 2 for 1 on cocktails and Moet Champagne and various other offers including 2 Jagerbombs for £5.

Music on offer is soulful house, hip hop an rnb.

Entry on the night is £5 and is open all night long until 04.30 in the morning. Visit their Facebook page and get VIP entry or guestlist by writing on their wall.

Shindig returns this Saturday night (tomorrow) at its new home, World Headquarters. I HATE WHQ, worst nightclub in Newcastle in my opinion. That is because i have always hated the music it plays on a Saturday night, and didnt really like the crowd much. On a ‘normal’ night it costs £8 to get in, and as my friends put it “yeah its expensive to get in but then the drinks are cheap”…But how many drinks do you have while clubbing? Not many, as you have been drinking all night.

Anyway, WHQ is the new home for Shindig since its departure from Digital. Reasons it left were musical differences, Its not the first time Shindig or other events have threatened to leave Newcastle’s biggest nightclub. The biggest problem with a big space is filling it. If you charge lots of money and have two events on a week then you will find (as they have) people are not going to spend their money going to all the events.

WHQ has a smaller capacity, so will be easier to fill, and therefore create a better atmosphere.

Doors open at 22.30 and the place is open until 04.00 tickets are £10 and more on the door.

Another thing i hate about the place is the location…miles away from anything. If you dont know where it is point your drunk sat-nav to:

World Headquarters Club & Globe City Gallery
Curtis Mayfield House
Carliol Square
East Pilgrim Street
Newcastle upon Tyne
United Kingdom
NE1 6UP

There is one bank holiday left, and two of the biggest clubs have both got a big night of house planned on Sunday 30th August.

Digital is bringing you superstar DJ Steve Angello, and a night of house at Newcastle’s biggest nightclub. Digital is renouned for getting in good crowds of people who love to club.

Tup Tup Palace is hosting Hed Kandi, a big player in the Funky House scene.

A night in Digital will cost you alot of money, but you are paying to go and see a big name DJ and to have a great night clubbing. A night in Tup Tup Palace will get you cheaper entry, but no big name DJ, and less of a ‘dj event clubbing’ atmosphere. Digital will have hardcore clubbers and house fans, whereas Tup Tup will house the ra’s and pretentious people.

Who will be getting your hard earned pouds on BH Sunday?

Swedish House Mafia have a residency in Ibiza this year which we have already told you about here but Steve Angello will also be headlining at Digital Newcastle on Sunday 30th August, Bank Holiday weekend.

Doors open at 23.00 and you can party all night until 03.30. Advance booking is £10+bf and expect to pay more on the door.

So you’re probably looking at £12-15 on the door. If you can afford this and like house i would reccommend going. It is set to be a great night.

I hope MR Angello makes his flight back to Ibiza, since he is set to play there on the Monday

Sunday 30th August sees the return of Hed Kandi at Tup Tup Palace. For a night of Funky House on a Sunday Tup Tup Palace is the place to be.

Mood in The Gate are having a Bavarian theme night this Friday. This could be a cool night, with lots of beer as you would expect The other things which are on offer are Frankfurters, tug of war, and other various themed antics. A Yard of ale contest would also be great.

Sounds like a fun night, get yourself to Mood in the Gate this Friday.

Tomorrow, Thursday 20th August Mood are having a party for the A Level Students. They are saying its the biggest A Levels results party in Newcastle on the night.

With drinks starting at only 90p and 2 rooms offering RnB and Hip Hop or Chart and cheese it could be a great party atmosphere if they get the crowd right.

The panic is now over…For Sea and Blu Bambu it’s “business as usual”…..At least that is what they are telling their customers.

You know something is wrong when you have the clubs having to tell their customers not to worry and its all good, i have never had to be told by bars before that “dont worry its business as usual”.

IF i give one of these places a last visit it will be Sea. They are offering the best deals, aswell as being probably the best club which is in this mess.

They are offering £1 sambuca and tequila shots, bottles of Corona and Smirnoff Ice for £1.50 but my favourite offer of theirs has to be £40 bottles of spirits with 2 jugs of mixers. Unfortunatly i doubt very much these are premium spirits, since other places charge double for these. I would be happy to go and get a bottle of vodka with Redbull if they are selling Absolut. Another bad point to this is that these offers are for FRIDAY and not Saturday.

Cookie Jar is making a comeback, Thursday 24th September at Sea Newcastle. The funky house night returns in time for all the uni kids for regular Thursday night antics. The event is promoted by Space Monkey Promotions, and is an alternative place to party than Lovedough at Tup Tup Palace. The night used to be on a Monday at Sea, however the new night sees it move to a Thursday.

Sea is an unusual choice to host this event. That is because nobody knows its fate, with the parent company PBR in administration.
