🎬 THE NIGHT STARTS HERE.
This October, ILLUMINIGHT EVENTS presents STUDENT OF THE YEAR 2026 — an unforgettable night of Bollywood, desi anthems, incredible people and pure nightlife energy, taking over Secret Vault, Nottingham.
Inspired by the glamour, friendships, music and unforgettable moments of the biggest Bollywood college movies, we're bringing that Student of the Year energy to the real world.
The outfits.
The music.
The people.
The late-night memories
ONE NIGHT. ONE VENUE. ONE UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE.
🏛️ SECRET VAULT
ONE OF NOTTINGHAM'S MOST DISTINCTIVE NIGHTLIFE SPACES.
For one night only, Secret Vault becomes the setting for Student of the Year 2026.
We're keeping this event limited in capacity to create the atmosphere we're looking for — a packed dancefloor, great energy and a crowd that has come to genuinely enjoy the night.
NOT TOO BIG.
NOT TOO SMALL.
JUST THE RIGHT ATMOSPHERE.
And with limited capacity...
🚨 EXPECT THIS ONE TO SELL OUT.
Once capacity is reached, that's it.
🎧 THE SOUNDTRACK
Expect a carefully selected mix of the sounds that make a proper desi night:
BOLLYWOOD 🔥
PUNJABI 🎶
DESI BANGERS 💥
COMMERCIAL ANTHEMS 🎉
CLASSICS EVERYONE KNOWS 🪩
From iconic Bollywood favourites to modern party anthems, expect a soundtrack designed for one thing:
KEEPING THE DANCEFLOOR MOVING.
👥 EVERYONE IS WELCOME.
Despite the name, Student of the Year isn't just for students.
Whether you're a university student, graduate, young professional, Nottingham local or simply someone who loves a great Bollywood night out —
IF YOU'RE 18+, YOU'RE INVITED.
Come with your:
Friends.
Flatmates.
Course mates.
Colleagues.
Partner.
Society.
Your entire group chat.
Or come ready to meet new people.
THE RIGHT CROWD MAKES THE NIGHT.
✨ MORE THAN JUST A NIGHT OUT.
It's the group photos you didn't plan.
The song everyone suddenly knows.
The dancefloor moments.
The people you meet.
The outfits.
The laughs.
The memories you weren't expecting to make.
The night that was supposed to be "just a Thursday"...
...BUT ENDS UP BEING THE NIGHT EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT.
That's the experience we're creating.
💸 DON'T WAIT FOR THE LAST MINUTE.
If you're already planning to come, secure your ticket early.
