ULTRA is fresh new space and home for electronic sounds in the Midlands and it launches on New Year’s Eve with new flagship event We Are WHSE. Derby has apparently long needed an underground space and it comes at this brand-new 3,500-capacity industrial venue.
By tapping into the raw, stripped-back essence of original club culture but with state-of-the-art lighting, sound and production, the venue will be a hideout for those who are ready to truly lose themselves in the music. The venue itself boasts exposed steel girders, corrugated walls and an atmosphere that aims to channel early rave spirit.
On NYE it comes alive as the team behind Midlands festival Forbidden Forest launch their brand new events series at the venue. The launch party features a lineup including Max Dean, Luke Dean, Gaskin, DXNBY and more, all bring their sounds to the immersive space.
On the new series, the Forbidden Forest team say: “Derby has been crying out for an event series like this. We wanted to build something that feels real and rooted in the underground with the production and quality you’d expect from the Forbidden Forest team. We Are WHSE is exactly that.”
As part of a full 2026 event series, the event will deliver regular shows featuring names in electronic music spanning house, D&B and beyond.
