Liverpool clubbers will have fond memories of the venue
Famous Liverpool nightclub state is returning for one night only to celebrate Boxing Day. Located on Dale Street in the city centre, the site first opened as a stunning ballroom in the 1920s, before becoming a popular nightspot loved by generations of clubbers.
The State was Liverpool’s first Laser nightclub and by the 90s, became known for hosting huge events such as Monster Jam and Garlands. Many will remember resident DJ’s who are part of its legacy, such as Mike Knowler and Andy Carroll, Mark Simon, Ste McGee and Radio City presenter Pez Tellet and Lee Butler.
Mike and Andy remained at The State until it closed in November 1989. But after its initial closure, The State reopened in 1990 and began hosting huge events such as Monster Jam and Garlands.
