Broadway Cinema

Two music films on the big screen at Broadway, and twenty years of the Hustle on its walls. The films are ticketed separately: the wristband doesn't get you in.

Now showing

The Story of Lovers Rock

Presented by Delroy 'Topnotch' Young

A tribute to Menelik Shabazz, and the first of two music films Broadway are putting on with us. Weeks before the wristbands, so this one's a cinema ticket.

Hustle Warm Up: Channel One Sound System

Nathaniel MIMM's Our Yard are bringing the sound system to Brickworks, so we're calling it the warm-up. Shifting Your Mindset, one of our charities, has a stall. Don't go too hard on the dancefloor. The next day is a big one.

Get tickets from Our Yard

Brickworks. Not on the wristband: book with Our Yard.

Brickworks, the night before.

On the day

Out on the streets and all through the venues. On the wristband, or free.

Across the queer-led venues.

Queer Hustle

On the wristband

Last year it launched with four promoters: Queer Up Duck's exhibition, a Queer Notts zine, the city's first ever ballroom from Queerish, Unamed Drag at The Lord Roberts. This year it's grown. Cae, who leads it, has a post coming.

Billy Bootleggers Downstairs, Movers and 4 more queer-led venues. See them all

Broad Street. Time TBC, follow the drums.

The Hustle Parade

Free

Samba, stilts and whatever else turns up. The flashmob kicks off right after it, so if you find the parade you've found both.

Broad Street, straight after the parade.

Step N Groove flashmob

Free

Last year hundreds of you danced in the rain. Since then Charmaine and the crew's routine to Nights Like This has gone round the world. In the lead-up they're running workshops with ACNA Centre and Open Wings; on the day everyone's invited to the flashmob and performance straight after the parade. Please bring the boots anyway.

and some of Notts' best voices, in one church.

UFO Orchestra + special guests

Ten years of Ian Burton's orchestra with guests from across the Hustle's history: Liam Bailey, Rob Green, Tiger from Divorce, Nina Smith, Harlieghblu, Alfie Sharp. Spine-tingling amid the chaos. It fills, so get there early. This year's vocalists announced soon.
