Leeds' most diverse alternative nightclub, thesubculture, lives in the Merrion Centre in the shell of the old Bassment nightclub. We opened mid September 2006 with the remit of providing a home for many of the nights left in limbo by the closure of Bar Phono and the Bassment at Xmas 2005 and other new nights missing from the Leeds alternative scene.

Our regular nights include long-running favourites Friday Flock and Juvenile Hall, as well as new nights such as Moustache, Idioteque, Yeah! Right! and Leeds' first regular burlesque night, The Slippery Belle. We aim to provide a comprehensive selection of alternative music styles and a wide variety of nights. Please take a look at our schedule to see what's coming up.

As well as regular nights we also host one-off nights and gigs and are available for private hire on nights when we're not already booked.
