Stealth is the brainchild of James Baillie (The Bomb, The Social) and George and Sean Akins (Rock City), its mission statement simply being "to prove to the doubters that there's plenty of life left in dance music."
Whilst the emphasis may be on dance music, the 680-capacity venue will see the introduction of a weekly NME night (every Thursday), where resident DJs Queens Of Noize, Punish The Atom's Joey Bell and the Home Taping Is Killing Music DJs will man the decks alongside performances from some of the hottest signed and unsigned live bands around.
Fridays will see Stealth host such renowned club nights as Detonate, Spectrum and Manuva Manuva, while Saturday nights will be served by the self-titled Stealth night alongside such established clubs as Bugged Out and Tyrant.
The full line-up for the first fortnight is as follows:-
