Glasgow venue Sub Club has announced its 30th birthday celebrations

Going down from April to August

Sub Club is turning 30 in April and it's shared details of what it'll be doing to celebrate.

Longtime residents Harri & Domenic kick the XXX proceedings off on April 1 - on what will be exactly 30 years since the Glasgow club opened - and will play all-night long. The rest of April's celebrations will feature KiNK (live) (April 8) and Kerri Chandler (April 15), while The Black Madonna plays on May 6.

Things move away from the venue on July 15 when Larry Heard plays live at Barrowland Ballroom. Sub Club Soundsystem - the two-day festival curated by Sub Club - returns on August 26, headlined by Dixon and Maceo Plex.

Sub Club director Mike Grieve said: "The music still batters the senses, pushing boundaries, constantly reinventing and hopefully setting the tone for what’s coming round the next corner. This is the space where underground clubs really exist, breaking new music, creating new energies, inspiring new ideas, and forging new friendships all along the way.

"The foundation of the Sub has always been built on the resident DJs who helm the key nights, most significantly the massively influential Optimo who’s legendary Sunday weekly spanned an unbroken 13 years without ever booking a guest DJ and, of course, Harri & Domenic who’s Subculture Saturday nighter has now endured for 23 solid years."
