The latest initiative from DJ Mag will bring the nightlife experience to your homes. 

Named "Top 100 Clubs Virtual World Tour", the project is part of the British electronic music, DJ, and club culture magazine's efforts to celebrate and support the international nightclub industry, which has been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Scheduled to be launched on 15 May 2021, the nine-week-long digital event will showcase clubs of all sizes from around the world through a number of different sets. Electronic music clubs can participate in the world tour by submitting recordings of DJ sets in empty venues or past sets that took place when they were at their peak. Clubs that are legally permitted to operate also have the option of submitting live sets. 

Clubs can apply to be a part of the virtual world tour by emailing top100clubs-virtual@djmag.com. The showcase will be streamed via DJ Mag's Facebook page, and YouTube and Twitch channels.

We believe this year’s reimagined Top 100 Clubs will provide an exciting new platform for our community to celebrate and support global nightclub culture safely, until we can all return to the dancefloor together," said DJ Mag's Managing Director Martin Carvell.

Voting for Top 100 Clubs 2021 will take place via vote.djmag.com from 12 May 2021  to 14 July 2021.
