Forbidden started at the, now legendary, Club City, back in 1998 and has since become a Leicester institution.

This week we will celebrate opening our doors for 8 years and, in a scene that has seen it's superclubs close or drop to occasional parties, as well as a list as long as your arm of smaller nights coming and going practically every week, we reckon its something to be pretty fucking pleased about.

Forbidden has, is and always will be different. Jo and Dave pride themselves of showcasing the freshest, newest and best talent that Leicester and the rest of the UK have to offer.

In the early days we were treated to sets by little known jocks such as Andy Farley, Lisa Lashes, Ian M, Billy Bunter and Nick Rafferty, these were always supported by then residents Sarah G, Mark Allen, Ian Willis, Botty etc.

A lot has changed since then but, our policies are exactly the same and in the last 12 months the following DJs have graced our turntables, some before the big boys came calling ;-)

Lucy Fur (Frantic), Dave Owens (Munkjack / Toolbox Records), Digital Kid (Tidy), Morgan (Goodgreef), Richard Toomz (Insekt), JT & Mixin (Energized), Ninja Girl (Subway), Simon Paul (Contact Records), 'Nice Guy' Danny Roberts (Clubbed Up), Steve Arnold (Clubbed Up), Neal Appeal (Mixmag Future Hero), Powertoolz (Insomnia) and Lee UHF (Total Bedlam)

All of them big talents, some you will have heard of already, others you'll be hearing a lot more of in 2007 and, just like the day we opened, all of these have been supported by your residents, Mark Allen (still!!), Glenn Randall, Evs & Nick Hill.

8 years is a fucking lifetime in dance music and we're still rockin til dawn every week.

Theres no sign of us stopping yet so get your asses down this Friday and join in the celebrations.
