INFO

Camden Assembly, located at 49 Chalk Farm Road, London NW1 8AN, is a renowned nightclub and live music venue with a rich history rooted in the vibrant cultural tapestry of Camden. Previously known as the Barfly, this iconic spot has served as a cornerstone of London’s live music scene since the late 1990s. Over the years, Camden Assembly has built a sterling reputation for hosting emerging talent alongside established acts, cementing its status as a vital breeding ground for new music.
Its role in nurturing artists from indie rock to electronic genres has made it a beloved destination for music fans and a crucial stop on the UK's touring circuit. The venue underwent significant changes in 2016 when it was rebranded from the Barfly to Camden Assembly after being acquired by The Columbo Group. This transformation involved a comprehensive refurbishment, updating the space while preserving its intimate, raw atmosphere that fans and artists cherished.
Despite these changes, Camden Assembly continues to play a pivotal role in London’s nightlife and remains an epicenter of creativity and discovery. Its reputation extends beyond live music, encompassing club nights and community events, reflecting the dynamic spirit of Camden itself. Notable artists who have graced the stage at Camden Assembly (and previously as the Barfly) include global acts such as Coldplay, Arctic Monkeys, Adele, Franz Ferdinand, The Strokes, Phoenix, and Ed Sheeran, alongside local legends like Amy Winehouse, Florence + the Machine, Kasabian, and Bloc Party.
Additionally, the venue has hosted the likes of The Libertines, The Killers, Jack Garratt, The Vaccines, and Royal Blood, solidifying its legacy as a launchpad for both international stars and the best of London’s homegrown talent.
