Siberia Bar & Hotel, this week, had permission granted by Aberdeen City Licencing Board for an occasional license in it’s car park area for the purpose of external events. The licence, which runs from midday until 10pm across pay day weekend this month (July 29 - 31), will allow more patrons into the venue for a series of DJs takeovers in its car park - there will also be an added external bar on site. A foot in the right direction for culture, a step forward to allow us to put on a series of free events in Aberdeen, a place where people are so quick to say nothing happens.
The bar has teamed up with local DJ collective Rhythm to throw a free party on their terrace this Saturday (July 9) between 2pm and 1am, featuring a whole host of Aberdeen talent ranging from Jonny Kennedy to Tunnel’s favourite Halliday.
Local DJs HomeAlone and Switch events will take the reins on the Saturdays which follow before Aberdeen DJ Academy finishes up the month with a party in the car-park consisting of academy’s students. Teacher at the academy, Dylan McPhee says: “[we’re] really excited to be involved with Siberia and to continue giving local talent a platform to play in front of crowds."
Siberia Director Stuart McPhee says: “Its invaluable for the cultural future of the city that decisions like these are taken on their individual merits. We have worked hard to put in place good management and operating practices to make something like this possible. A partnership with Aberdeen DJ Academy allows them to pull through the next generation of talent in their sector and adds a great platform for local talent to play from.”
Entry to all events is free / follow Siberia on all social media channels for updates (@siberiaaberdeen). More details will follow in the coming weeks.
