Which brings the overview of Tallinn’s nightlife to the pivotal issue of music and regular parties. There is a number of continuing events, some having been around for nearly 20 years and some only a few years, but all of them solid staples of the party circuit. Usually these parties tend to happen once a month, but their locations can often vary, as party promoters like to try out new locations and move around just for the sake of excitement. If it’s hip-hop you like, go to
Check One Two. If it’s soul in its different incarnations that tickles your fancy, check out
Must Mesi, one of the leading party events in town every month.
Mojo offers a glimpse into rare soul, early RnB, and dancefloor jazz, with occasional shimmies towards funk, ska, and boogie.
Bashment is a rocksteady reggae party, while
Tiks aims to mix together old soul obscurities with more modern beats. Kalamari Unioon and One Night In Bangkok feature line-ups of DJs hell-bent on taking you on an extravagant and eclectic journey through different music genres from all ages.
Tjuun In specializes in drum’n’bass while
Haigla Pidu attracts hordes of young skateboarding enthusiasts with its international guests and eccentric beats.
Some other pop-up parties worth mentioning include
FÖPP, a favourite amongst the hard-working young urban professionals,
Ennu Ratas with its legendary selection of Estonian obscure pop music, and
Disco Tallinn with some of the biggest names in disco music making regular appearances alongside local DJs on special theme nights. The party to end all parties often seems to be the
Singles Party (Vallaliste Pidu), usually attracting thousands of people who are not necessarily single, but all of whom want to let their hair down and just dance the night away. A newer version of a similar idea aimed at a slightly more experienced age group goes under the name “
30+ Party”.
