Leeds-based The 5 O’Clock Club launches 2026 in style with Grant Nelson
Leeds’ much-loved early evening club brand, The 5 O’Clock Club, returns on Saturday 7 February 2026, opening its new calendar year with a landmark event headlined by legendary DJ and producer Grant Nelson.
Following a run of stand-out, events throughout 2025, The 5 O’Clock Club has firmly established itself as one of Leeds’ most distinctive nightlife experiences — bringing together a crowd of all generations who still love proper club music, but prefer to be home at a sensible hour.
The February event marks the first date of the 2026 season, setting the tone for another year of high-quality music, great venues and an unbeatable atmosphere.
At the centre of the night is Grant Nelson, one of the most respected names in global house music.
With a career spanning over three decades, Nelson is known for genre-defining tracks on labels such as Nice ’N’ Ripe, Ministry of Sound and Defected, as well as countless remixes and DJ sets that have shaped soulful, deep and vocal house culture worldwide. His appearance in Leeds promises a rare opportunity to experience a true pioneer of the scene in an intimate, high-energy setting.
Promoter and DJ Curtis Zack said: "After four superb events in 2025, we are super excited to welcome back the legend that Grant Nelson.
"He was our very first guest at The 5 O’Clock Club and went down so well, it just made perfect sense to get him back to kick start 2026’
