distrikt is firmly in its terrible teen years- and the whole city is invited to celebrate.
Since opening in 2009, distrikt has been open every night with free entry - and now in it's fourteenth year, the popular underground bar and club doesn't look like it's slowing down anytime soon.
To celebrate, distrikt is inviting customers new and old to head down for a very late night and the lineup has been described 'as underground as it can get'.
Make sure to get in early for free drinks from AU vodka and avoid long queues later on in the night.
On Friday 13 October expect to see the likes of Doudou MD, Ferro and DJ Senc on the decks with A.L.C, Dan Barrientos, Shea Minta, Lucia and Az music all performing throughout the night.
For the second night, Saturday 14 October, distrikt has teamed up with Italian events company After Caposile to bring Herodot, Yaar Kü and Francesco Maddalena to headline with Binyamhn, Simone Ellis, Lo:Za, Seth Chohan B2B Sam Pratt and Josh Demello all performing until the early hours.

Sharing a heartfelt birthday message on Instagram, the owners said:
"Almost 14 years later and we ain’t stopping anytime soon!
"As we prepare to celebrate our birthday this weekend we wanted to extend the gratitude by offering free food from our outdoor barbecue and free drinks to all the early birds courtesy of AU Vodka and Northern Monk!
"It's an incredible achievement to be able to provide such a colourful and eclectic experience for all these years.
"14 years is a testament to all your dedication, none of this would be possible with you, so thank you!
"Here's to 14 more years of success, excitement, and unforgettable experiences! May we continue to be the go-to destination for house music enthusiasts and late night lovers, and all those seeking an incredible night out on the town.
"Throughout the years, we have acknowledged we are a staple in the nightlife scene not only in the city and but throughout Europe; attracting party-goers and music enthusiasts from all walks of life. Being able to curate amazing lineups of DJs, live performances, and events has undoubtedly kept the energy alive and created unforgettable memories for you all.
"As we celebrate this milestone, it's worth reflecting on the countless nights of laughter, dancing, and music that have taken place within ours walls. We hope the venue has become an integral part of the community, a place where people come together to celebrate, connect, and escape the everyday pressures of life.
The Manchester indie heroes are making a triumphant return to Sheffield.
Following an absolutely belting headline set at Tramlines this year, it seems the Courteeners just can't get enough of the Steel City as they're announced as a headliner for next year's Rock N Roll Circus.
Fresh from a new album and nationwide tour, they'll be bringing their set of singalong indie anthems to Don Valley Bowl on Saturday 28 August 2027.
And they're in good company too, with The Vaccines and The Lathums joining the line-up alongside a brilliant mix of both established and up-and-coming talent.
Also joining the bill are The Guest List, Girl In The Year Above, Little Grandad, Cowboy Hunters, Cherryholt, Saint Clair, Ist Ist and Yorkshire’s Slates and south coast band Crystal Tides.
This is just the first wave of acts to be announced, with three more headliners expected to take to the stage over the bank holiday weekend.
Now entering its fifth year in Sheffield, Rock N Roll Circus has established itself as a big hitter in the UK's festival calendar.
Ali O'Reilly, Festival Director of Rock N Roll Circus, said: "Anyone who saw Courteeners at Tramlines last year knows exactly what Sheffield means to this band. They absolutely blew the doors off the place, and there's something about the connection between Liam and a Sheffield crowd that makes every show feel like a homecoming.
"To have The Vaccines and The Lathums joining them is a huge statement, but we're just as excited about the artists coming through on Stage 2. Bands like Cherryholt, Cowboy Hunters and Ist Ist are exactly why we love putting these line-ups together. There's something brilliant about watching a new band in an intimate setting and then heading into the Big Top for one of the biggest acts in the country.
"2027 marks our fifth year in Sheffield, which is a real milestone for us. We've grown with the city, the audiences have been incredible and we're proud of what Rock N Roll Circus has become."
Rock N Roll Circus returns to Sheffield's Don Valley Bowl from Thursday 26 to Sunday 29 August 2027, with Courteeners headlining on Saturday 28 August.

Pop royalty S Club announce new arena tour, with huge Leeds and Sheffield gigs
Daisy Jackson
S Club will be heading back toYorkshire on a newly-announced 13-date arena tour next year.
The pop icons have announced the Ain’t No Party Like A S Club Party tour, which will see Bradley, Jo, Jon, Rachel and Tina back on stage for the ultimate pop party.
The huge tour includes a night at the First Direct Bank Arena in Leeds, a night at the Utilita Arena in Sheffield, as well as two gigs at the O2 in London.
S Club are one of Britain’s most successful pop groups, formerly known as S Club 7, who went on to become a cultural phenomenon with their own TV series – one of which, L.A. 7, remains the highest-rated programme of all time on CBBC.
Their smash hits include Reach, Don’t Stop Movin, Bring It All Back, Never Had A Dream Come True, and S Club Party.
In 2023, S Club celebrated their 25th anniversary with a sellout UK and US tour, shortly after the tragic death of former member Paul Cattermole.
Now, five of the original seven are ready to bring the party back to Manchester, as S Club return to the stage.
They’ll have very special guests supporting on the tour too, announcing Boyzlife, the supergroup made up of the former Boyzone and Westlife members Keith Duffy and Brian McFadden.
S Club say: “We can’t wait to get back out on tour, see you all and celebrate the songs, memories and moments we’ve shared together over the years.
“It’s going to be one BIG party, and we want you all to be part of it!”
Tickets for all shows go on sale at 9.30am on Friday 6 November HERE.
