Few areas of London seem to undergo such constant evolution as Shoreditch. Once the epicentre of London nightlife, the area might still be home to a handful of the city’s biggest venues, but these days it seems to be far more preoccupied with seeing just how many small plates restaurants, boutique hotels and ‘lifestyle stores’ one neighbourhood could possibly sustain.
It’s pretty exciting, then, that a brand new warehouse venue, Unlocked Shoreditch, is opening in E1 this weekend. It’s calling itself an ‘experience-led’ venue (no, we’re not really sure what that means either), and it opens in a previously unoccupied warehouse at 118 Curtain Road that was once regularly used as a venue for illegal squat raves, and most recently hosted immersive experience Lost in Light.
The venue is set to fully open in the autumn but will be soft-launching over the spring with Unlocked Origins, a series of four nights taking place between now and mid-April, and headlined by an eclectic line-up of international selectors including Australian tech-house DJ Tobiahs, genre-hopping global music aficionado Nooriyah, Rinse FM regular Jyoty and London-based underground trio Mason Collective.
Here’s the full line-up for the series.
Tickets for the series are on sale via Unlocked’s website now, and the venue will be sharing more details about its full opening soon.
