History

Big Night Out started as a written series of articles in 2012 on vice.com, written by Vice writer and correspondent Clive Martin. [2] Big Night Out transitioned to a short form video web series on VICE's newly launched music channel Noisey [3] in 2013, and ran for eight episodes. [4]

Moving back onto vice.com, Big Night Out had success moving onto longer form more investigative films exploring the relationship between nightlife and wider social and societal issues, with Locked Off garnering significant attention for its exploration of the UK's resurgent illegal rave scene. [5]

In 2016, Viceland commissioned a full TV series to coincide with the UK channel launch. The first season premiered on September 29, 2016. [6]
