The scene in Bournemouth

The Vault occupies a Grade II-listed former banking hall dating from around 1900, and has built a real reputation among drum & bass, jungle and garage crowds rather than trading on the building alone - past line-ups have included John 00 Fleming, DRS with Dogger, and Pirate Copy with Ben Murphy.

Canvas, a loft-style venue in the same town, runs a different lane - house and techno from resident DJs in a more upscale setting - so the two venues between them cover most of what the town's electronic scene actually sounds like on a given weekend.

Where it happens

The town centre around Poole Hill carries most of the circuit, walkable from the seafront and well served by the student population that makes up a large share of a typical weekend crowd.

How buying a ticket works, in practice

Every listing above is a real event. Each one links to where its tickets are sold: on On The Door when the promoter sells through us, or on the organiser’s own ticket page. When you buy here, the price you see is the price you pay, with no booking fee added at checkout, and your ticket is a QR code on your phone that you show at the door.
