Runda Studios, located at 5 Marquis Street in Belfast serving as both a dynamic nightclub and a multifaceted cultural venue in Northern Ireland's bustling capital. Since its inception, Runda Studios has embedded itself in the city's vibrant nightlife, becoming a home for underground electronic music and fostering creative expression across visual arts and performance. Originally launching in the early 2020s as an adaptive space for club nights and live music events, the venue emerged amid a resurgence in Belfast’s electronic scene, offering a haven for those seeking an alternative to mainstream nightlife.

Runda Studios was purposefully designed within a repurposed industrial space, blending raw architectural character with modern sound and lighting systems. Over the years, while its physical location at 5 Marquis Street has remained consistent, the venue has adapted internally—expanding its layout to host larger events and collaborations with art collectives, and continually investing in top-tier acoustics to uphold its reputation as a clubber's destination. Runda Studios is celebrated for its open-door ethos, nurturing both emerging talent from the local scene and attracting international artists, thus bridging Belfast with global electronic movements.

Its reputation is built on inclusive programming, intimate dance floors, and an active role in community-led festivals and cultural projects. This has cemented its place as a springboard for artistic careers, and as a cornerstone in the ongoing evolution of Belfast’s nightlife, championing innovation and diversity in club culture. Notable artists who have performed at Runda Studios include globally recognized names such as Objekt, Blasha & Allatt, Saoirse, and Ben UFO, alongside renowned local talent like Carlton Doom, Holly Lester, Kwame Daniels, Marion Hawkes, and Kessler, all of whom have contributed to the venue’s dynamic, community-focused atmosphere and growing underground legacy.
