Second edition of the Desi club night, a Jersey Party with Desi, Bollywood, Tamil and Hip-Hop hits, uniting five university Desi societies.
AxT Productions are back with AXT DESI SHUTDOWN 2 at Gun Street Garden on Tuesday 17 November, their second edition of the night. The first one is described as an 'unforgettable' start, and this one follows the same blueprint: a late-night session that runs from 11pm to 3am, with last entry at 12:15am.
The music is built around Desi bangers, Bollywood, Tamil, Hip-Hop and UK hits, so it's a broad mix that pulls from different traditions rather than sticking to one. It's a night that works for anyone who knows their way around a dancefloor, whether you're there for the Bollywood classics or the Hip-Hop.
What sets this one apart is who's behind it. It's an official collaboration between five university Desi societies: the Reading Desi Society, Royal Holloway Desi Society, Greenwich Tamil Society, Surrey Desi Society and Reading Tamil x Mallu Society. That's five different societies across Reading coming together for one night, which explains why the music covers so much ground.

There's a dress code to keep in mind: it's a 'Jersey Party'. The organisers are encouraging people to turn up in a football club, basketball team, country or any sports jersey, though normal clubwear is also welcome if you'd rather stick to that. Gun Street Garden is at 5-6 Gun St, RG1 2JR, and the night is strictly 18+. Tickets range from £6 to £16.50, so you can grab yours early and save a bit.
