Studio 24 is the definitive alternative music venue in Edinburgh, playing a wide variety of music, from drum n' bass / electro on Fridays to rock and metal on Saturdays.
Definitely the highlight, attendance wise, of Studio 24's week is Retribution, the heavy metal night on Saturdays. Downstairs plays an extensive repertoire of modern music, from cyber-goth to current thrash, while upstairs is devoted to cult classics from the 70s and 80s, from AC/DC to Slayer and from Led Zeppelin to Venom, everything gets played!

Once a month, Saturday's Retribution gets replaced with the Glasgow Cathouse, their DJ coming through to Edinburgh specially for this event.

As if all of that wasn't enough, Studio 24 host a wide array of gigs and shows, albeit only by local, or cover bands.

The place has a stingy, grungy underground kind of feel to it, and for all those who like the alternative music scene, this is the place to be, its only downside being the rather steep £5 entry price, and the expensive drinks.
