Dare 2 Club is a prominent nightclub located in the heart of Birmingham, United Kingdom, known for its vibrant atmosphere and significant influence on the local dance music scene. Originally established in the early 2010s, Dare 2 Club quickly built a reputation as an inclusive space catering to a diverse crowd, with a particular emphasis on the LGBTQ+ community and alternative clubgoers. The venue occupies a large industrial warehouse on Holloway Head, a location that has allowed it to host a wide range of electronic music events, rave nights, and themed parties.

Over the years, Dare 2 Club has undergone several renovations to improve its sound systems, lighting, and facilities, responding to the evolving needs of its patrons and the ever-changing club culture in Birmingham. Despite its relatively recent establishment compared to some of the city’s historic venues, Dare 2 Club has cemented its place as a cornerstone of the Midlands’ nightlife. The club’s cultural significance is notable, as it has not only provided a safe space for marginalized communities but has also played a key role in the resurgence of the rave and house music scenes in the region.

Its openness to various music styles, from techno and drum and bass to hard house and trance, has attracted an eclectic following. The venue has largely remained in its original location, taking advantage of its expansive, warehouse-style interior to create immersive clubbing experiences, often transforming its space for specific events. Notable artists who have performed at Dare 2 Club include international figures such as Lisa Lashes, Andy Whitby, Mark EG, and Tidy Boys, as well as prominent local talents like Digital Mafia, Sarah G, and DJ Rushmore.

The club has also been a launching pad for up-and-coming Birmingham artists and collectives, hosting legendary nights that have drawn crowds from across the UK and beyond.
