Electronic music night featuring Badger, LARISHKA and Shadev at the historic Joshua Brooks venue.
Badger is taking over Joshua Brooks on Friday 16 October, with Larishka and Shadev joining the bill. It's a long one, running from 22:00 through to 04:00, so it's the kind of night that starts late and carries on well into the early hours.
Joshua Brooks has been a Manchester fixture since 1993, and it's a big space with three floors to it: a basement under brick arches, a terrace, and a clubhouse. The sound is built around Void, with two three-way Air Motion arrays, bi-amplified, and two Stasys X V2 subs, and they added more Void speakers during the venue's 2026 renovation. Between the three floors and the sound system, there's plenty of room to move around as the night goes on.

On the door, it's strictly over-18s. The dress code is relaxed, though they do ask you to leave the sportswear at home — no football shirts, tracksuits, caps, or large sports logos. Tickets start from £12.50, and with the 22:00 start and 04:00 finish, you've got six hours of music to work through.
