Zap Goes Digital

Well, it’s been a crazy couple years for our favourite salty-aired superclub. After being Zap, then Union, then Zap again, the business has been sold to the kings of Geordie clubland Digital, who’ve lit up Newcastle with their enormously successful venue since 2005. As well as great line ups, the northern version has become known for doing it properly – Function 1 soundsystem, great lighting system, and a DJ booth that NASA would be proud of. It got them voted the 15th best club in the world (by DJs) and third best in the UK (by punters). We can expect the same quality here but they’re so busy rebuilding it that they forgot to get us the info. We’ll tell you more next month then (edit - we've been now, it's ace).
