Que Club returns
30-something ex-ravers are getting very excited over on Facebook over the news that the Que Club is re-opening with the first event being the next Drop Beats Not Bombs on September 14th. Here’s the reminiscences Facebook group but this other one links to centralhallbirmingham.co.uk, though it’s just a holding page right now, and states:
ITS BACK – under new ownership and Management – expect to see the biggest names in the business back at the newly refurbished Que Club in Central Hall.
So I guess plans to convert it into flats / offices fell through. It’ll be interesting to know who’s now running it and what they have planned. Is it just a club venue or will there be gigs and concerts too? A competitor to the Academy would be a good thing I feel, especially give they’ll be closing (and hopefully relocating) in a few years.
Compared to the (justified) pomp and fanfare of the Town Hall refurb this seems to be having a very quiet launch. Any light that can be shed would be welcome.

I spoke to the owner yesterday and maybe too eagerly bombarded him with curious questions. Thing is, because I spoke to him through work- I doubt I can mention who he is without getting a smack. What I can say is that they have ambitious/interesting plans for the place.
It does seem rather understated the re-opening! Very quiet!
Ooh, very mysterious!
Of course what you should have done is emailed me the info as an anonymous source which I could then print as informed speculation. But you’ve kinda blown your cheese now, as it were.
Just got the news! very excited cant wait till i am getting lost and finding another area to shake my ass.I bet you they aint touched the place, bet i find my coat or some little ones i lost 5 years ago. central hall here we come! come on sundissential book it up once a month please.
Yup. Cheese blown up. Brie everywhere! Sos Pete!
proper chuffed at this news gutted when it closed this is great news 4 the brum club scene.OI OI lets make some noise 4 the return of a legend.
the legend returns, plenty of “over 30 ” ravers cant wait, a new generation is waiting in the wings to experience the finest techno venue in the country…..by far..
this is great bumbaclart news hope i can perform there again
cant wait rasta first went there at 14 in 1996 birminghams club scene died a massive death with its premise looking forward to c all my dnb soldiers the legend lives on!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the best news I have in ages, i still cant quite beleive it to be honest, wont until I’m back there on the balcony dancing till the sun comes up once again! YAAAAAYYYY!
lets hope the gangsters stay at home robbing the innocent and let us rave in peace
Ahhhh lets hope DBNB is just the first of many late nighters! And Rich I take offence to the “30-something ex-ravers” I mereley was on a rave sabbatical!
‘rave sabbatical’ fantastic! Think I’ll use that excuse too, lets hope atomic jam make a comeback in their rightful home
SO WILL THE NO1 OLDSKOOL NIGHT BE BACK FLASHBACK???????
I cant believe Que club is opening again. To me it was the best venue ever. I have been to so many drum and bass events through the years and there is no venue like que club. It will really feel like coming home. FLASHBACK at the que club would be amazing so fingers crossed. Cant wait to get lost in the que club. xxx
The Que Club is back!!!! I was savin’ up to buy an apartment there just to be under the same roof as I’d spent many euphoric nights worshiping the beat! LEGEND of a place! C’mone Danny, Atomic Jam here I come!!
cant believe que club is re openin flashback and slammin vinyl was the best eva i spent the best nights of my life at que club and hope to spend many more
Am so excited about this will definately be making the trip back from Manchester to come here and relive my youth!!! We just need Atomic Jam to be there once a month…..Pure genius,…. just as I was thinking about calming down as well
big!
seriously big smiles at this great news having loved every night i ever spent there going to virtually everything that was on for about 3 years, hope to catch up with some of the old heads, please please bring back THE JAM and FLASHBACK two of the best nights ever! Keep the peace feel the love, full on flat out fall over…. Yes!!!
To the gang Pezza, Tezza, Dexter, Pete and my baby James. Still cant believe the gang are gonna be at the Que club again. No venue has EVER compared to the Que club and never will. Those were the best nights of our life and i cant wait for our first mashed up gang photo. Raveology on the 1st of december! first drum and bass night at the Que club, oh my god cant wait xxxx
yes da juice! come back 4 da Q club!! its been a few years, can’t wait 4 sum dnb @ da Q, hope its still da same inside, ur right best raves eva!!!!
Can’t wait to see the old Jam lot. I thought it would never happen! Dirty techno where it belongs in a filthy cathedral, COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!
this deffo in the top 5 of ‘best news this year so far’ big up mc lenni – we would love 2 see u there 2!! we cant wait for raveology on 1st dec!!
anyone going the opening on the 14th – check out the samba band, keepin it in the family!!!
cos this is how we roll………..
i couldnt believe it 2day wen i was drivin into town and saw the adverts for the relaunch party! thats wy im here checkin its true! ive only been a handful of times, then it closed. nothin has ever come close to the legend that is this place! bring on slammin!!!
So wounded that the first event at the legendary Que club is not Drum and Bass. Although there will be D&B at Drop Beats it will not be in the main room and thats where it is the best. If you are not dancing to the tunes you are sitting up in the balcony listening to them. so as hard as it is i am going to wait till December 1st when it is pure Drum and Bass. xx
we said bring back que club not bring back lennie
If Lennie can Mc then so can I
I’m not that bad am I
My baby, cant believe we met at Drum and Bass and although we always compare stories about all the wicked times we had at the Que club,probably even being at the same events but never met. Now at last we will be going together baby a proper dream come true you me Drum and Bass and most of all the Que club. xxxx Ps Mc lennie your still a legend.
CAN U PLEASE TELL ME WHERE FLASHBACK IS THIS YEAR? THANKS
bring back flashback the best night of my life and can only remeber half of them. Mc Lennie & mo sort it out out flashbck new years eve
So who’s going to the relaunch weekend??
DBNB on Friday and B2Vicious on Saturday…I’m into my hard dance and hardcore so B2T for me!
Can’t wait this is so gonna knock for hard dance scene for six!!
Does anyone here know where I might be able to get contact details for the Que Club management? Or better still, does anyone reading this have those details?!

Went there on sat for Uproar- was absoltley wicked- wanted to go to tis clunb for years but it got shut down b4 I got chance. Was everything my mates had told me- so glad it reopened and I had the opportunity to rave in one of the best venues!!
Where can I find listings 4 the Q club?? Its the best club eva – gotta go back before it closes again!!
have a look on dontstayin.com for listings
Que club is the best club going if you like underground raves,it wont be in full swing until ATOMIC JAM is back where it belongs at the temple of techno,prob not until next year but all the old regulars have waited long enough a few more months wont hurt,i think Danny is waiting to do it proper rather than rushing in !
LETS AVA RAVE INSIDE THE PLACE !
BIRMINGHAM TECHNO
Went to Spektrum @ the q last night, was good, but not as acrazy as years gone by. The bouncers were god awful, you couldnt even dance on a 1 foot podeum and thte upstairs wasnt open where you used to be able to look down on the night in full flow. So, in retaliation to the chavvy bouncers, I personally led 3 stage invasions.
Does anyone no whats going on new year at the que club???
I read that NYE will be called ‘Q fest’
details please!!!
Goin q club 4 first time this week goin 2 feast on the dnb and let the legends start agen.
Man,the last time i hit the que club i was a slim single dude with no responsibility. Now a little heavier, with wife and child……who cares, let me in i wanna dance my big fat ass off til i drop………yyyyyyyyeeeeeeehhhhhhhaaaaa new years eve isnt the same without a bit of piano house !!!!
the best nights of my youth were spent raving at the que club. The que has a special place in my heart. We need our flashback’s back! 4 times a year at least.all the old favorites!not forgettin mickey finn!!excellent news!keep us treated.
