'Rethinking European Club Culture' with Elkka and Time Out Talk
'Rethinking European Club Culture' with Elkka and Time Out.png
Discussing the state of the scene with one of the UK’s leading advocates for club culture

Join Elkka – acclaimed Welsh producer, DJ, and founder of record label femme culture – with Rosie Hewitson of Time Out UK to discuss the urgent challenges facing Europe’s clubbing scene. From the shifting going out habits of Gen Z, to rising costs threatening grassroots venues, the discussion will unpack what the future of nightlife might look like. With clubs closing at record rates and government support lagging behind, what can different European cities learn from each other? How do we preserve the cultural, social, and economic value of nightlife in a changing world? What role does nightlife play in creating safe spaces for the queer community? And are we at risk of over-intellectualising club culture? Elkka will bring personal insight as a member of the scene as part of this candid conversation about resilience, innovation and why the dancefloor still matters.
