Communal Open Decks warms up Cobalt Studios this Saturday

Communal Open Decks Warm Up comes to Cobalt Studios in Newcastle on Saturday 3 October 2026, running from 8.30pm until 10.30pm.

The Shieldfield venue is opening up the decks for an all-invited session, making this less about watching a fixed bill and more about getting involved. Cobalt Studios’ Eventbrite listing describes the evening as an open decks session, giving DJs and selectors a chance to step up and share music in a relaxed warm-up setting.

Communal Open Decks at Cobalt Studios

The event starts at 8.30pm and runs for two hours, putting it in the earlier part of Cobalt’s Saturday programme rather than the usual late-night club slot. That should make it a useful meeting point for people already involved in Newcastle’s DJ community as well as anyone curious about getting behind the decks for the first time.

Cobalt has become one of the city’s more flexible independent spaces, regularly moving between club nights, live music, workshops and community-led events. An open decks format fits that wider approach by making participation part of the night rather than keeping a hard divide between performer and audience.

The official Eventbrite listing currently shows free entry. No age restriction is stated on the event page, so anyone who needs to confirm entry requirements should check directly with the venue before travelling.

Communal Open Decks Warm Up takes place at Cobalt Studios, 10 Boyd Street, Shieldfield, on Saturday 3 October 2026 from 8.30pm until 10.30pm.
