A small, underground techno nightclub is to take centre stage at a city arts festival.

On March 28, Club 69 will curate a special collaboration with Paisley Arts Festival.

As Paisley's pioneering independent nightclub and champion of electronic music, Club 69 will bring together cutting-edge artists and the festival's platform to celebrate the electronic music that defines the venue's legacy.

The night features an internationally respected lineup across house, techno and club-focused sounds - including Melé, Optimo, Jaguar, Jasper James and Frankie Elyse.

Located nine miles from Glasgow city centre and one mile from Glasgow Airport, Club 69 has been a hotspot for underground dance music since it opened its doors.

It has hosted some of the biggest names in dance over the years, including Underground Resistance, Juan Atkins, Leftfield, Skream, Ewan McVicar, Slam and Paul Woolford.

The event spans two spaces: the Paisley Town Hall (5pm to 11pm) sets the stage with high-energy performances, while Club 69's afterparty (continuing until 3am) delivers the authentic club experience that has made it a destination for electronic music lovers across Scotland and beyond.

The inaugural Paisley Arts Festival takes place from Friday, March 27, until Sunday, March 29. Themed on The Paisley Sound, the festival will celebrate both the creativity which has nurtured world-famous musicians from the town, but also its radical energy.   

Paisley Arts Festival will feature live performance, music and visual art, uncovering hidden histories, new talent and unexpected experiences.

The wider programme includes everything from art exhibitions and aerial dance theatre to immersive shows that take audiences on a journey through Paisley.
