Programme, doors and tickets

Annabel's official agenda is the source for upcoming concerts and club nights. Every event page controls its own door time, start time, age rule and ticket details.

Concert hall doors are generally advertised from 19:00. Club nights are commonly listed around 23:00 to 04:00 on Friday and Saturday, but both patterns can vary by event.

Tickets for most agenda events are issued through CM Tickets. Annabel says doors normally close about one hour before an event ends; the specific event page remains authoritative.
