INFO

Various Venues is not the name of a single nightclub in London, but rather a term used to indicate multiple locations or rotating sites for events, particularly within the electronic music and underground club scene. This labeling is often adopted by club night promoters, festival organizers, or event series that eschew a fixed home in favor of popping up across the capital's diverse nightlife spaces. The ideas behind "Various Venues" projects trace back to the itinerant warehouse raves and acid house parties of the late 1980s and early 1990s, where flexibility and secrecy were essential to avoid police crackdowns.
In the decades since, it has become a recognizable approach for contemporary nightlife brands, allowing for creative programming, unique collaborations, and the reinvigoration of both iconic and lesser-known venues. This approach has helped energize London’s club culture, bypassing the constraints imposed by single-venue operations and adapting to the city’s rapidly changing nightlife landscape, marked by frequent club closures and gentrification. As some famous fixed locations have shuttered—such as fabric’s temporary closure in 2016—organizers have relied on the "Various Venues" model to keep scenes alive and expand their reach to all corners of London, from Brixton to Hackney Wick.
Events under this banner have often emphasized inclusivity, creative freedom, and site-specific experiences, cementing their reputation among dedicated ravers and tastemakers alike. The ability to adapt, link communities, and celebrate the diversity of London’s architecture and post-industrial spaces has made the Various Venues format culturally significant, shaping how new generations of clubbers experience nightlife in the city. Notable artists who have played at Various Venues-organized nights include international acts such as Peggy Gou, Honey Dijon, Four Tet, Richie Hawtin, Carl Cox, The Martinez Brothers, and Ben UFO, as well as local trailblazers like Shy One, Joy Orbison, Benji B, Sherelle, Midland, and Saoirse.
