Don’t Miss The Drill SheD’s Autumn Programme
There are some bangin’ shows coming up. Here's what's going on…
The Drill Shed Margate is at the Lido Complex in Cliftonville
Folks, don’t miss The Drill Shed…the 750 capacity venue situated underneath the Lido sign re-opened its doors for Reef last weekend and is back in action every weekend until NYE!
If you’ve wondered why it’s been quiet, they’ve spent the last two months dropping in a new acoustic ceiling.
Not quite the quick job it sounds like - 11 new steel beams, 66 purlins, two thick layers of Rocksilk insulation, fire board, acoustic board and more.
But…they’re ready to go again with a more intimate, better sound and a packed autumn programme. Let’s take a look!
The Drill Shed Team
Something Goes Right has partnered with Olby’s to bring Margate a new live venue.
The Drill Shed’s Autumn Programme
Mr Scruff All Night Long
Fri 23 Oct
Five hours of the Ninja Tune legend spinning the best in funk, soul, disco, afrobeat and house in one long dancefloor journey, because you know he can go the distance. Wear comfy shoes.
Nip Slip Halloween
Sat 31 Oct
The nips are back in town. Pop bangers, floor fillers and disco hits from the queer party that welcomes everyone. Dress up, dress down, just come and dance.
The Selecter
Sat 7 Nov
2-Tone royalty led by the brilliant Pauline Black. Expect On My Radio, Three Minute Hero and a room full of skanking.
Beardyman: 150 Glorious Years of Beardyman
Sat 14 Nov
Beardyman isn’t quite that old, but he’s been around long enough to get really bloody good. The UK beatbox champ builds full dance tracks live using just his voice and his own homemade kit. If you’ve never seen him, get down there.
Legend Live - A Tribute to Bob Marley
Sat 21 Nov
Grab some mates for two hours of Marley classics from a seven piece band whose members have played with reggae greats. Get ready to sway.
David Rodigan: Decks & Dialogue
Sat 12 Dec
The UK’s reggae godfather tells the stories behind the records, then plays them. Decks & Dialogue is part conversation, part dance, and a rare chance to see him in a room this size (and in Margate!).
And there’s loads more. Every gig is on The Drill Shed’s See Tickets page.. See you on the dancefloor. Don’t miss out!
