Follow the artists and sound systems

Reggae, dub and jungle overlap in some programmes but are not interchangeable descriptions. Look for the named artists, selectors and sound systems, then read whether the event includes live vocals, a band or DJ sets. If you are exploring unfamiliar names, an official recording can help you choose more reliably than a poster’s genre labels alone.

Read the whole programme

The Full Moon and Attic Bar lists a varied programme including reggae and dub, while Thekla’s calendar also includes jungle events. These are starting points rather than promises about every night at those venues. The profiles below help you explore the city’s options; the original date-specific listing tells you which programme is actually being presented.

Choose a practical ticket

Check whether the event runs in the afternoon, evening or overnight and whether separate sessions need separate tickets. For a sound-system event, read any venue guidance on ear protection, access and facilities before attending. If several rooms or acts are advertised, leave room in your plans to explore them. Confirm the final line-up with the organiser because a saved flyer may precede later changes.
