Event information

The whole shack shimmies...

With the B52's announcing that this summer will be the last time they'll roam around the world, here's an extravagant clubnight celebration of the band behind the hidden door at The Victoria.

Amidst the club's usual mix of indiepop, new wave, post-punk and Northern Soul, expect to hear all of the gloriously exuberant B52s hits from 1978's debut 'Rock Lobster' onwards through 'Planet Claire' and 'Private Idaho' to 'Summer of Love', 'Love-Shack', 'ROAM' and 2008's ace 'Juliet of the Spirits'.

10pm till 2am. It will be a baller.

Des Was a Bowie Fan is a London clubnight founded in 2013 at the Tutu's nightclub on the Strand. It has since played out residencies at East End venues Jamboree, The George Tavern and Paper Dress Vintage, creating feral and ageless Pop dancing havens for lovers and dreamers. Guest DJs at the club in its London carnation have included Eddie Argos of Art Brut, Darren Hayman of John Peel favourites Hefner, and feminist author and post-punk musician Helen McCookerybook. It is Wales' 600th most successful export across the bridge, coming in just before Gindrinker's ode to darts in popular culture and just after Shakin' Stevens' autobiography.
