Techno, hard trance, hardcore and electro night of The Anti Valentines Ball at Unit Nine, marking 18 years of the Exposure and Northern Sounds nights.
The Anti Valentines Ball returns to Unit Nine in Milton Keynes on Friday 12 February 2027, a night that carries nearly two decades of dancefloor history behind it. It's put on by Exposure and Northern Sounds, two labels that have spent almost eighteen years booking artists from across the scene, and this ball is built around that long-running connection.
If you've followed either label, you'll know the ground they cover. The night pulls from techno, hard trance, hardcore and electro, so it's less about one specific sound and more about the overlap between them. It's the kind of line-up that lets you move from the steady drive of techno into the faster, harder territory of trance and hardcore, with electro sitting somewhere in the middle. The labels have been booking across that spectrum for nearly twenty years, and the ball brings it all together under one roof for the night.

It's a proper late one, too. It kicks off at 21:00 on Friday and runs right through to 04:00 on Saturday morning, so there's plenty of room for the night to develop. Tickets are £15 to £20, and it's at Unit Nine in Milton Keynes.
