Clubbing leviathans Beyond celebrate sixteen years


“Beyond Joy, is to celebrate their sixteenth birthday party. SIXTEEN YEARS of naked torsos, inexplicable glitter, and brain-bending neon visuals.”


Now, when it gets to this time of year, despite our best efforts and most stringent hangover cures, it all gets a bit much for both of us. We end up like that gif of that poor little kid crying when the newscaster asks him a question. You know the one!

One group of pernicious partygoers who certainly AREN’T like that though, are Beyond. Their stamina never fails, and they have a fab habit of always popping up, glitter cannons akimbo, at any major event. Easter? BAM, HUGE GAY PARTY. Pride? BAM, EVEN HUGER GAY PARTY. Halloween? BAM! Christmas? BAM! Prince George’s Christening? BAM! That last one’s not true, there wasn’t a big gay party for Prince George’s Christening, although there possibly should have been.

This next one, Beyond Joy, is to celebrate their sixteenth birthday party. SIXTEEN YEARS of naked torsos, inexplicable glitter, and brain-bending neon visuals. Sounds like Katy Perry’s career! Amirightlads? Ugh sorry, SHUSH.

On November 10th, Beyond is swaggering into their usual haunt Fire, that heady hive of South London debauchery. Their DJ lineup is, as always, sizzling, with disc-spinning action from regulars Zach Burns, Fabio Luigi, Lee Harris, Yvette Lindquist, special guest Anthony May and loads more!

Beyond Joy is on Saturday 10th November at Fire, South Lambeth Road, SW8 1RT. 11pm – midday. Advance tickets available from orangenation.co.uk
