New London venue Drumsheds: here’s all you need to know before opening

New London venue Drumsheds is gearing up to open its doors in October, and the excitement is building for their first event.

The Tottenham club space will kick things off with a La Discothéque takeover, featuring some of the biggest names in disco and soul music, including Jocelyn Brown and Evelyn “Champagne” King.

The venue, managed by event management company Broadwick Live, who are the team behind Printworks, have transformed the former IKEA warehouse into a clubland mecca, and dance music fans across the capital have been raving about the exciting new club, which announced it’s full line up earlier this month.
