Hands in the air: London revels in the return of rave

London’s rave scene is about to receive a major shake up as new venue, Drumsheds, finally opens its doors. On Saturday, 15,000 party-goers will head to Meridian Water for an all-day, Studio-54-inspired party courtesy of La Discothèque.

Brought to us from the team behind Printworks, Tottenham’s old Ikea has found a new lease of life as the capital’s largest rave spot, spanning 608,000 square feet. The news is heartening, but Drumsheds is hardly going it alone. London’s inextinguishable rave scene has bubbled consistently since it first emerged in the late Eighties.
