Shed heaven

Situated in what was once an Ikea warehouse in one of the quiter corners of North West London, Drumsheds plonked itself firmly on the mainstream map during its first season when, just before Christmas, it staged the debut live performance by Sault.

This was no ordinary concert – tickets were £100 for starters, but the venue was turned into an immersive wonderland where fans could wander and explore numerous hidden surprises.

But it’s not the only siesmic event that its promoters have staged – Paranoid London launched their new festival-sized live spectacular here last month too.

Drumsheds has been brought to life by Broadwick Live, the same company that created the much loved and now much missed Printworks and although it’s a very different building, it has a very similar vibe of an old school illegal warehouse party combined with superclub-level lights and sound.

With Chase & Status, Bonobo, Wilkinson, Kerri Chandler, Shy FX and Netsky already lined up for shows between now and easter, Drumsheds looks like being the capital’s go to raving destination in 2024.
