A brand new nightclub in Bolton will feature a room with soundproofed pods where clubbers play their own music and control the lighting. Meanwhile, the larger room at Element Fifty One, in Nelson Square, will be reserved for bigger events, such as the launch party hosted by former BBC Radio 1Xtra DJ Charlie Sloth.
The venue was most recently called Truth but has also been known as Ikonic, Oscar's, Doom, Trinity, After Dark, and Chic in the past 15 years. Owner Simon Kaden-Smith told the Manchester Evening News that he wants to do things a little differently from previous owners.
He said: "We've got Charlie Sloth at the opening night, then we've got various other artists booked in for every month moving forward. We want to do an 80s night with Martin Kemp, right across to more local brands like Back by Dope Demand, Maximes - they're the sort of brands I've been working with over the years so they'll all be on board with us.
