A busy night of alternative music as all three Brighten the Corners venues in action tomorrow

Music lovers are spoilt for choice tomorrow as Ipswich's alternative music scene springs into life with gigs at all three of the town’s music venues.

Rock and metal at St Stephen's Church

The Riot, Ipswich's beloved rock and metal club night, is keeping the Halloween spirit alive with a special themed event at the atmospheric St Stephen's Church. Running from 9:30 pm until 1:30 am, resident DJs Stevo and Ed will be unleashing a barrage of classic anthems from the likes of Slipknot, Metallica and Deftones.

Fancy dress is encouraged, and with tickets from £6, it's an affordable way to extend your Halloween celebrations.

D&B takes over The Baths

For those seeking pulsating beats, Wrekt brings the drum & bass vibes to The Baths, featuring a collaboration between Function Records and Redeye Records. The venue's Void Acoustics sound system promises to deliver earth-shaking bass from 9 pm until 2 am.

This event, also priced from £6, aims to recapture the magic of Ipswich's legendary '90s DnB scene.

Electro-nu-metal at The Smokehouse

Meanwhile, The Smokehouse welcomes electro-nu-metal outfit Broken Calling, fresh from their successful UK tour. Support comes from Hull-based Down to a Deathmatch and local metallers Arms to Oblivion.

Doors open at 7:30 pm, and tickets are available for £7.
