The Darkside will no longer be held at either northern light or the velvet underground in leeds. The management at the venue are the most unprofessional / musically clueless group of people we have ever come across and we urge you all to never set foot in the place again. The venue has been nothing but trouble since we moved there last year with constant arguments over drinks prices, closing times, shoddy soundsystems (we had to hire our own after they spent £150k on a turd) and doormen who never once arrived early enough for us to open at the advertised time.

Last night was the final straw...

For the 3rd time in the space of a year they have double booked the venue on one of our dates. This weekend they’ve actually triple booked the club which totally beggars belief and has left us in the position of having paid for flyers, posters, bar-b-q accessories, a very sizeable dj bill still to pay and maybe the loss of future bookings with said performer.

Legal proceedings will commence on Monday morning.

Our next party on august 13th should still go ahead. News soon.

apologies to everyone this affects, especially the djs.
we will make it upto you at the new venue.
