Over the years, Dirty Disco has roamed from legendary venues like MiNT Club to disused car garages in the red light district.
Out of action for a year, finally organisers are ready to reveal details of their much anticipated 15th birthday party.
Promising a 12 hour non-stop summer special, it'll roll into the newly-refurbished MINT Warehouse on Saturday 21st August, taking over three rooms with house and techno vibes from friends old and new.
With big hitting favorites like Shonky, Bushwacka!, Robert James, Greg Lord already confirmed, plus some surprise headliners still in their back pocket.
They'll be joined by local selectors doing back-to-back sets, like Annie Errez B2b Reeshy, Ste Roberts B2b Nadsat, Matt Long B2b2 Gav Paul.
Dirty Disco has always had a proudly independent spirit and unwavering devotion to anarchistic fun and a soundtrack provided by a mix of cutting-edge new acts and enduring pioneers.
For all these reasons it holds a special place in the hearts of many clubbers from Leeds, the North and beyond, and no doubt shaped the city's underground scene over the past 15 years - as well as many lifelong clubbing friendships.
The memories, the madness and the music will all be in hot supply, and the venue is suitably special. MiNT Warehouse has been refitted recently and now boasts a new, bespoke Funktion One Evo 7 sound system.
Musically all bases are covered. There will be a Dirty Disco debut for tech house titan Bushwacka!, whose live streams in lockdown have been incredible, as well as a first set for Apollonia man and French house hero Shonky at MiNT since its refurb.
Add in WHP resident Greg Lord, all in the original Dirty Disco residents and some very special friends from over the years and you have a sure-fire recipe for a historic birthday get down.
As women around the world swoon over Jacob Elordi, he's too busy loving rocks and sheep.
In case you haven't been on social media over the past week and managed to avoid the influx of paparazzi images, the hotly anticipated 'Wuthering Heights' adaptation is out soon and with that comes heaps of red carpets, screenings and glamorous premieres.
Famously set against the brooding hills of Yorkshire, Wuthering Heights by our very own Emily Brontë follows the tumultuous love story of Heathcliff and Cathy.
Played in the upcoming film by Australian heartthrobs Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie.
During the recent London premiere where Elordi was seen wearing a rather dashing green three piece, the stars were asked what they thought the 'sexiest' thing about Yorkshire is by HitsRadioUK.
A valid question to which Jacob replies "rocks and sheep". I mean, he's got a fair point.
Margot Robbie went into a little more detail, she said "Sunrise and sunset in Yorkshire is a pretty dramatic experience. The sky is literally like red and orange. I honestly couldn't believe it when I was out there. The landscape is stunning."
Why thank you Margot, we absolutely agree. She continues to shower us with compliments stating that the "People are lovely. Pubs are great. I love it"
It seems like Margot has got Yorkshire pretty bang on there, and if she ever needs any pub recommendations then we'll absolutely help her out.
Jacob on the other hand, we know rocks and sheep are sexy but...have you ever met us?
Hopefully he fell in love with our county enough to come back, as we wouldn't mind bumping into him on a hike up the Yorkshire moors.
Popular Leeds gaming bar announces immediate shock closure after going into liquidation
Clementine Hall
Point Blank in Leeds city centre have suddenly closed after going into liquidation.
The popular gaming bar hasn't been open all that long, and was marketed as the country's first simulated shooting range bar.
Despite being a popular attraction since opening last year, the bar has closed immediately, unable to honour any future bookings.
Point Blank confirmed late this Tuesday 3 February that it had sadly entered liquidation, describing the move as “completely unforeseen and beyond our control.”

Up until just a few days ago, the Point Blank branch in Leeds had been promoting events including happy hours, shooting experiences, and even a Superbowl event scheduled for next Sunday 8 February.
A statement on their website reads: "It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Point Blank Shooting has entered liquidation.
"This situation was completely unforeseen and beyond our control. Due to our Manchester landlord entering administration, our lease was lost as part of that process. This had a serious knock-on effect across the wider business, leaving us with no other option.
"After seven incredible years of trading, this is a devastating moment for everyone involved at Point Blank.
"If you currently have a booking with us, we are working closely with the relevant parties to gain clarity and provide answers. We kindly ask for your patience while this process is ongoing.
"Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years — hopefully this is a see you later, not a goodbye."
