Over-18s Halloween day party with old skool UK garage anthems and singalong moments from Garage Nation, with DJ Luck and MC Neat.
Garage Nation is back in Reading on Saturday 31 October, taking over Lola Lo for a Halloween Old Skool Day Party. It's a daytime session, running from 3pm to 9pm, so you're in and out well before midnight. The whole afternoon is built around old skool UK garage anthems and the kind of singalong moments that usually only happen in the early hours, but here they're happening while it's still light outside. The energy is meant to carry from the afternoon session right through into the evening, so if you're the type who likes to start early and keep going, this fits the bill.
On the decks are DJ Luck & MC Neat, one of the most recognisable pairings in the scene. Luck handles the mixing and Neat does the hosting, and together they've spent decades playing the exact kind of garage that this day party is built on. If you've spent any time around the UK garage sound, you'll know them, and they're the main draw here.
Reading isn't the only stop on the tour. The same run takes in Cambridge at KIKI, London at Ministry of Sound, and Amsterdam at Melkweg and Paradiso, so this is one of a handful of dates rather than a one-off. It's strictly for over-18s, and the Halloween theme is right there in the name, so it's a good excuse to lean into it if you fancy.

Tickets are £8.50 to £11.25, and the party runs from 3pm to 9pm at Lola Lo, 126-127 Friar Street, Reading RG1 1EP. Just a heads-up on the timing: last entry is 5.45pm, so if you're planning to roll in late, make sure you're through the door before then.
