On the 18th November, we heard news that a new London Venue calling itself Printworks London would be revealed to the public on 22nd November 2016. Since then, we’ve found out the venue will be located in the South East London district, Rotherhithe.
We couldn’t be any more excited about this news, especially after hearing that they’ve teamed up with London’s electronic music event pioneers, LWE, to ensure they bring to the table the impeccable standard of event organisation to this new, experimental, temporary cultural hub that is, Printworks London.
What better way to kick off proceedings then announcing an incredible 11 Saturdays (and 1 Friday), starting from 4th February 2017 to 30th April 2017, of debut appearances from the likes of Daphni, Nina Kraviz, Seth Troxler, Floating Points, Luciano, Adam Beyer and more, they’re calling it Printworks London Issue 001, and my word, does it looks like it’s going to be a belter of a first quarter. Although venue capacity is 5,000, they’re set to run at a limited 2,500 capacity from February to April 2017 only.
Offering a different and immersive experience, events will run from midday to 10pm, with ten hours of action both on and off the dancefloor. Printworks’ corridors will reveal a matrix of intrigue with a bar for every occasion, street food stands and vast chill-out areas providing plenty of entertainment throughout the day.

Two rooms of music will offer vastly different environments with the colossal scale of the soundproofed main room making for many epic dancefloor moments. Printworks room 2 will provide an intimate environment to enjoy some of the scenes most exciting emerging talent with lineups curated by some of the country’s most progressive promoters including Superstition, Portal and Into The Woods.
The anticipated Launch Extravaganza will take place on Saturday 4th February with a colossal, three-way back-to-back headline set from industry giants, Seth Troxler, Loco Dice and The Martinez Brothers.
Let’s have a quick look at what Printworks London Series 001 has on offer over the coming months:

Making the most of Printworks’ unique setting, bizarre and curious machinery will be left in situ and the soundproofed main space allows for those attending the events to enjoy the music without disturbing the local community. Each event will benefit from bespoke production with fully-fitted L’Acoustic and SB28 loudspeakers, custom designed mechanical lighting truss and over 100 lasers and spotlights to illuminate the dramatic industrial features.
In addition to the soundproofed main room, Printworks plan to minimise the impact on residents by directing customers to and from nearby stations through signposted and steward-manned routes via non-residential areas. Local SE16 residents will also benefit from 50 free balloted tickets to all ticketed events and a space within the venue dedicated entirely to community use.
Running at a limited 2,500 capacity for the debut series, presale tickets starting at £22.50 will be available from 6pm on Thursday 8th December with general sale tickets available to purchase from midday on Friday 9th. For priority access to tickets, please register at: http://printworkslondon.co.uk
In addition to the music offering, Printworks are busy at work locking in a vibrant selection of cultural events with plans for food festivals, exhibitions, orchestral performances, immersive theatre with even more the pipeline.
The planning application for temporary use of the Printworks as a culture, music and arts space is currently under consideration by Southwark Council. If approved, events would take place from early 2017.
