Ruckus24 Announce Full Season of Events

Leeds is gearing up for a seismic shift in its underground club scene, as Ruckus24 announces an ambitious full season of events set to run from September through New Year’s Eve. Led by Josh Demello, Ruckus24 is breaking the mold with this series of events, set across two of the city’s most exciting venues: Under The Arches and Testbed. In a bold move that goes against the grain of the current club culture, Ruckus24 aims to bring a fresh wave of energy to Leeds, with a line-up that promises to draw both local and international attention.

The season kicks off on September 28th with a 16-hour marathon party, starting at Testbed during the day and continuing into the night at Under The Arches. The launch event will feature an electrifying mix of talent including Wheats, Richy Ahmed, and Paige Tomlinson during the day, with Locklead and Kepler taking over for the night session.

October brings a thrilling Halloween collaboration with Slapfunk, featuring Dungeon Meat (Tristan Da Cunha b2b Brawther) and other underground heavyweights. The season will also see appearances by Luuk Van Dijk, Mason Collective, and an eagerly anticipated performance by the legendary Marco Carola on December 28th at Testbed.

Josh Demello, Director of Arrival Events and the driving force behind Ruckus24, expressed his excitement about the project, stating, "I’ve not seen an underground house/event brand run a full season of events like this in years in Leeds, so I’m very proud to be putting it on. It’s a big risk, but I massively believe in the project. These two venues are the most exciting spaces in Leeds right now, and this season will showcase their potential."

With the final announcement of Marco Carola set for September 9th, anticipation is building for what promises to be a landmark season for Leeds’ nightlife. As the city prepares for an unforgettable series of events, Ruckus24 is set to establish itself as a powerhouse in the underground scene.
