- The 400-capacity venue will welcome the likes of Om Unit, Gwenan and Peverelist in the coming months.
- Leeds club The Old Red Bus Station (AKA ORBS) has had its lease extended by a further five years. Originally launched as a pop-up venue and vegan cafe by Immi Cardy and Rikines Andrin in 2015, the 400-capacity space has become one of the city's best spots for cutting-edge electronic music. Now in its fourth year of its current five-year lease, it nearly fell foul of major developments, which would have seen the venue torn down to make space for a car park. But the plans were vetoed in protection of the building's heritage. ORBS could now remain open until 2025. On a programming tip, it's back to business as usual. Om Unit and Dead Man's Chest play a jungle night on September 13th, followed by appearances from Gwenan (September 27th), Peverelist (September 28th) and liquid drum & bass duo Artificial Intelligence (October 5th). Tickets to select shows are available here on RA. Check out some arty snaps of the venue.
