This will be Pulp’s first show in Toronto since 1998
If you wanna do whatever common people do, well now’s your chance, in the presence of the legendary Pulp when they play Toronto.
Well-known in Toronto, DJ Lazarus (a fellow Brit) opened his own alternative nightclub, cocktail lounge and event space called Ground Control last October and it’s been doing great! Inspired by David Bowie, Ground Control has a large dance floor, two serving bars and is a fully accessible venue.
Britannia is a regular video dance party featuring Britpop, Madchester and UKindie favourites. The last event had over 300 people and it’s really a good time.
The next one on Saturday, April 13 has a Pulp spotlight and one lucky guest can win two (sold out!) box tickets to see Pulp’s gig at History on Tuesday, September 10. This will be Pulp’s first show in Toronto since 1998 and it’s about bloody time!
Here’s all the event details so take your better half to a nicer place than a supermarket and check it out.

Saturday, February 22 is shaping up to be the best night in 2020 for Brits in Toronto so far because of two main reasons: The Toronto British Expat Meetup Group Pub Quiz is happening AND Britannia: Britpop & Madchester Video Dance Party with Oasis Spotlight!
Start with one and end the night with t’other! Or you can stay in and stick t’kettle on for a luvly cuppa char, chook. Your choice.
Britannia is the ONLY Britpop Video Dance Party in North America. It’s packed with hundreds of Britpop fans getting down to the coolest UK tunes of the past and present.
This coming Saturday, at Remix Lounge in downtown Toronto, the night will feature an Oasis Spotlight = means lots of their videos will be played on the night by this Brit-related bloke, DJ Lazarus.
