Who are we?

We at Slammin' Vinyl organise and promote the biggest, and arguably the best Hardcore and Drum and Bass music events in the UK.

We've been around a while, well over a decade, and we've grown to the point where we now host our events at venues like Alexandra Palace in London, the NEC in Birmingham, The Royal Bath & West Showground in the West Country plus a number of the O2 Academy venues.

For our smaller events, we also use venues like the Opera House in Bournemouth and The Custard Factory in Birmingham.

As well as the Slammin' Vinyl brand, we also run the Hardcore Heaven and One Nation names for Hardcore and Drum and events respectively.

Our events calendar tends to begin with our Tranz-mission party for 10,000 people on Easter Saturday at Alexandra Palace. 

We then move on to the ever-popular Hardcore Weekender which was the first event of its type dedicated purely to Hardcore in the UK. This event tends to fall in the middle of May each year in Southport.

Then, if it's sunny (among other determining factors) we organise our Sanctuary Festival - a two-night full on outdoor festival. We're not doing one in 2009, but after the events of 2007 & 2008, we hope to bring it back in 2010.

Our next big event is WestFest at the Royal Bath & West Showground - a mammoth, multi-arena monster of an event held on the last Saturday of October, the 31st this year.

Then we top the year off with our New Year's Eve party at the NEC, aptly named NYE-NEC.

And in between those key dates, we'll have a sprinkling of smaller, club night parties dotted around the country.

I hope that's introduced you to us, and I'll be along with more soon, but in the meantime, you can always search us on Facebook or go to the official Slammin' Vinyl site.
