James Hype to Reignite UK Nightlife with Midweek Show at Unit Nine, Milton Keynes

Share

Globally renowned DJ and producer James Hype is taking bold action to breathe new life into the UK’s dance music scene, launching a series of exclusive midweek performances across regional venues. In a time when nightlife is facing unprecedented challenges, James Hype’s initiative is designed to support local communities and reignite the energy of live music events.

Starting at Home in Lincoln and stopping at key venues like Unit Nine in Milton Keynes, Home in Leeds, The Old School House in Hull, Fabric in London, and finishing at Blackstone Warehouse in Liverpool, this tour aims to inject fresh excitement into the midweek nightlife experience. As one of the few global DJs who built his career through the regional club scene, James is keenly aware of the impact that the ongoing closure of UK nightclubs is having on emerging artists and local communities.

According to MixMag, the UK has seen the closure of 65 nightclubs in 2024 alone, with three nightclubs shutting down every week. This troubling trend has raised concerns about the future of the dance music culture and the opportunities available to up-and-coming DJs.

When I started DJing, my first gig was in a nightclub on a Tuesday night. All nightclubs used to be open every day of the week. Even when I wasn’t playing, I was going to gigs myself and I was immersed in this scene, which made me who I am today.

This tour isn’t about making money, it’s about ensuring future generations have the opportunity to make a start in this industry and to give back to the culture that shaped my career as a DJ.”

says James Hype

The tour promises an unforgettable experience at each stop, with tickets selling fast on Skiddle. Fans are urged to act quickly, as these exclusive midweek shows are expected to sell out.
