🪩 WHO REMEMBERS WE ARE YOUR FRIENDS?!🙌
With a new wave of freshers arriving in Bournemouth, we’ve been reminiscing about some of the nights out that made our town’s nightlife what it was. And if you were going out here in the late 2000s or early 2010s, you’ll definitely remember this one!
What started as a few university house parties back in 2007 went on to become one of Bournemouth’s most loved club nights, picking up a Mixmag Club Night of the Year award along the way.
WAYF took over The Old Fire Station with three rooms of music, packed dancefloors, some questionable fancy dress and DJs including MK , DJ EZ and shadow child .
And then there was THE BLOCK PARTY! Thousands of people taking over Lansdowne, moving between venues with one wristband, with the likes of Duke Dumont, Jackmaster and Bondax on the lineup. Imagine trying to organise your mates for that now. 😂
For a whole generation of Bournemouth students and locals, WAYF was a huge part of their nights out. And we reckon there are a fair few of you still living around here with some stories to tell!
So, who was there? Who remembers the Zoo Parties? Who still has their old Block Party wristbands? And more importantly, who’s got some photos from those nights that have never seen the light of day?
Tag your old Bournemouth clubbing crew. We want to hear your WAYF memories! 👇
