Outset Thursday: Outset Possessed

Outset Possessed is the next session of Outset Thursdays, taking place at Gun Street Garden on Thursday 29 October. It's part of a weekly Thursday night club run by the Entourage Project, which they bill as the thing to do on a Thursday night in Reading.

The whole night is built around local hip-hop and grime culture, and the Entourage Project describes it as channeling the energy of major UK and international acts to create an intense, street-level vibe. The setlist draws from a wide range of hip-hop and UK rap artists: Central Cee, Drake, Dave, Chris Brown, K Trap, Burna Boy, Skepta, A$AP Rocky, DBE, Nemz, 50 Cent, Lil Baby, Clavish, Future, Kanye West, Wizkid and Digga D. It's a mix of current UK rap, US heavyweights, and Afrobeats, so you'll hear the local scene alongside the big names that usually headline the festivals.

It's an over-18s night, and the Entourage Project runs the whole thing, so if you've been to their other sessions, you'll know the drill. The music is the main event here, and the setlist is broad enough to cover a lot of ground across the hip-hop and grime spectrum.

Outset Possessed kicks off at 22:00 and runs until 03:00 on Friday 30 October, so it's a late one. Tickets go for between £3 and £6.50, and the venue is Gun Street Garden at 5-6 Gun St, Reading RG1 2JR.
