London warehouse party
Urban NerdsEvery year Urban Nerds NYE is one of the most anticipated New Year’s Eve events in London. Nerds NYE is known for occupying daring and unusual spaces and this year the annual celebration returns to an all new location for 2012, The Sidings Warehouse in London Bridge. This four arched tunnel has been gutted to the core and stripped back to concrete, bricks and mortar, just the way we like it!
Urban Nerds chose the space because of the unique sound and lighting capabilities, which will become clear on the night across our three rooms of sound. It also offers the warehouse experience, with the comfort of proper bars and toilets – so no portaloos in sight. This NYE Urban Nerds will bring a truly jaw dropping line-up and some exciting club brands to host the warehouse arches, representing a cross-section of underground electronic sounds to craft a 360 degree journey through the progression of UK bass and its modern house and 4×4 counterparts.

Bringing together a jaw-dropping lineup to see in 2013, Urban Nerds top off a fantastic year with the ultimate NYE party. Joining forces with Essex promoters and music heads Kool Kids Klub, Camberwell’s ballsy upfront promoter Church, and cutting-edge bass buffs THEM, Urban Nerds host a cross-section of underground sounds to craft a 360 degree journey through UK bass and its modern house and 4×4 counterparts. It’s going to be the ultimate NYE party!

Tickets available exclusively from Resident Advisor from £35.
