"Avantgarde is a term used to characterise music ahead of its time or containing innovative elements or fusing different genres"

As the music industry continues to morph into different sounds and sights and its direction is more than ever influenced by the hum of innovative resonance emerging from the underground, the AVANTGARDE showcase the best vocalists and musicians from around the world, who are driving music into new directions.

Expect a night where you will experience music's melting pot of current trends, whilst re-tuning your senses to the pure sounds of fusion Rock, Jazz, Acoustic, R'n'B, Soul, Pop and Funk. Every live performance will reflect the many fascinating music and fashion trends of today complimented by a host of international bands performing a stripped down version of their hit songs.

The appeal of these shows and the artist who perform at them have attract many music VIP's and is a regular haunt for record label executives, radio pluggers and press.

The live shows are followed by a club night and after party in association with "District Promotion" until 2:30am.
