A Brief History of Oblivion:

Oblivion began Summer 2003, in London at the Borderline, running on Wednesday nights in both rooms, with DJs Big Dee, Stevie C, Brahim and Wayne from the Wag, and DJ Stuart, formerly of Full Tilt. They brought a bizarre mix of music with them, from completely different ends of the alternative spectrum... but local club-goers clearly liked what they heard! A regular following very quickly grew, making Oblivion one of the most successful mid-week clubs The Borderline had hosted.

Having intended to run throughout that summer, a change in management and door policy meant Oblivion had to take a break, but re-launched in April 2004 at the Agincourt in Camberley, where it was an immediate hit with clubbers from as far afield as Reading, London and even Kent. After just over a year, it became apparent the primary customer base was from Reading, and they were having a hard time getting there. The lack of public transport, combined with some unlucky clashes with festivals and bank holidays, meant the club had to shut down in June 2005, re-launching and re-branding in Reading as what is now the infamous and very successful DropZone.

With a growing demand for "something new" on the alternative scene in Guildford, Oblivion re-opened in at Bar Med. Outwardly the night was very successful, with a large crowd and rammed dancefloor, but management and licensing changes forced the club out. With demand still high, Oblivion moved for a short time to The Boiler Room, but this venue proved unpopular with the regular crowd and prompted a swift move, now to The Legion.

And once again... Oblivion is back.
