***Big Night Out***[1] is a television series airing on [Viceland](/source/Viceland), hosted by journalist and Vice correspondent Clive Martin, who is traveling the world to discover how partying has become an act of rebellion, subsistence or survival for young people everywhere.

## History

*Big Night Out* started as a written series of articles in 2012 on [vice.com](/source/Vice_(magazine)), written by Vice writer and correspondent Clive Martin.[2] *Big Night Out* transitioned to a short form video [web series](/source/Web_series) on [VICE](/source/Vice_Media)'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](/source/Viceland) commissioned a full TV series to coincide with the UK channel launch. The first season premiered on September 29, 2016.[6]
