Friday Nights at Black Lion

Friday Nights at Black Lion are back at Black Lion on Friday 10 July, part of a run that keeps the venue going every Friday night. It's not a one-off — the nights run through July, August, September and into October, so if you can't make this one, there are plenty more to choose from.

The night is built around the DJs, who work their way across a fair few genres rather than sticking to one. You'll hear house, R&B, disco and UKG all in the same set, so it's more of a mix than a single-genre night. The house and disco side of things keeps the energy up, the R&B brings in the groove, and the UKG adds that specific garage swing that works so well on a dancefloor. It's the kind of night where the music does the heavy lifting, and the dancefloor stays full as the genres shift.

It's an 18+ event, so keep that in mind if you're planning a group. Entry is free, which makes it an easy one to drop into without much fuss. The music starts at 22:00, and since it's a Friday night, it's as much about the drinks as it is about the dancing. If you're after a night that doesn't ask you to commit to one particular sound, this is a solid bet.

Black Lion is at 14 Black Lion Street, Brighton, BN1 1ND. The night kicks off at 22:00, entry is free, and it's 18+.
