sloth Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Yes it's true. I believe the opening night as the new venue will be sometime in September. I predict a Plug representative will be along at some point today to fill you in properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noseyrosie Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 They're calling it The Plug and the three rooms will be called Earth, Live, and Neutral! Live for gigs, earth for club, neutral is I think a chill-out room. Looking forward to seeing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotZero Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Here's the deal with what's happening to our lovely little venue: The Plug, Sheffield's versatile new three-roomed music venue, is scheduled to open later this year - breathing new life into the city's clubbing and live music scene. The venue currently known as .Zero (http://www.dot-zero.co.uk), home to successful club nights such as Metropolis, Hustle and Razor Stiletto, is expanding into the adjoining premises (formerly a retail superstore!) and undertaking a complete re-branding. The combined new space will have the capability of shows in the LIVE arena, incorporating a smaller lounge bar, known as EARTH, and the existing .Zero venue will become NEUTRAL and be used in conjunction with, or separately, from the new club space, depending on the event. Programming for the Fridays will incorporate fresh house styles, techno, drum n' bass, hip hop and electronica as well as a variety of live acts. Friday night residents include Chris Duckenfield (Swag) and Pipes (Tonic, monthly) and Chris Low Life (Lights Down Low, monthly) alongside Dean Muhsin & Geoff Ticehurst (Urban Gorilla) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good selection of DJ's, especially Dukenfield and Pipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotZero Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 The bookings for the opening night on the 7th October have been done in-house and there will be a mixture of live music and djs over the three rooms. Tonic start their monthly residency on Friday the 14th October and the 2nd Friday of each month from then on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most impressive. If this standard of artist is kept up then it looks like being Sheffield's best music venue by a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
