The newest club in the capital may also just be one of its very best.
Opening on the old site of Edmonton’s closed-down IKEA, brought to you by the same team behind the recently closed-down Printworks (Broadwick Live), still using the very same lighting rigs and speakers from their former joint, DRUMSHEDS is probably the UK’s biggest capacity nightclub.
Here’s some perspective: the o2 arena holds 20,000, while DRUMSHEDS holds 15,000, and like the o2, it sells out faster than a humanities graduate. That’s 10x more than what fabric can hold in its walls, and 20x more than Village Underground.
An ambitious project considering the state of clubbing in these painful times, Broadwick Live will always get full marks for audacity.
While Edmonton residents reel over the loss of their beloved IKEA, the nations ravers make no effort to hide their excitement. Their events, which follow a similar format to Printworks, are like festival line-ups, with multiple huge artists sharing the bill for the mainroom with smaller artists sharing the smaller stages.
The whole feel is like an indoor day festival, a Field Day for the pale-skinned. While not always a ‘nightclub’ for its events typically end before midnight, inside it will always feel like it’s between 2 and 4 in the morning.
It has to be one of the most unique club experiences you can find on this island, if purely just for its sheer size. The quality of the listings only bumps it up further than it already is.
