However, the pleasure zone adventure would only last for a month due to a massive cock-up resulting in the next months flyer not been circulated. As loads of clubbers thought the pleasure zone had finished, hardly anoyne turned up the next month.

January 29th - Birmingham: Pandemonium

To kickstart in what would be another eventful year for them, Pandemonium hold the forth chapter of the Andromeda series in what would be their new home, The Institute in Birmingham, west midlands.

News of Pandemonium's sudden disaster doesn't deter the organisers who managed to deck out the replacement venue in time, or the ravers who heard of their crisis but still turned up in there thousands!.
