DRUMSHEDS, Y ROOM

Very large venue. City splash event was good. Food was good - Yard2Yard. Got food at the start so it was cooked well and the salad was very fresh. Polite food vender. Staff inside were very helpful. Mario, Claire and Maria were so courteous, kind, patient and friendly. Mario is a absolute legend. The venue itself was freezing. Maybe due to time of year and weather so I suggest wearing/bringing a coat. The toilets are just a long line of portable toilets. A little squished inside but they do the job. Although there is hand sanitizer, hand washing facilities would also be good. Ok variety of drinks. I think if your doing a specific event for a specific genre of music or ethnic group would be good to have such types of drinks. Not everyone drinks vodka! Otherwise I enjoyed what I went for.

A former IKEA shop/warehouse turn into event location! Hosting many events, labels, organizers from mang sides of the electronic music. The vibes and the whole place are truly incredible! Entrance is very well organized, lockers are available and the bars are pretty efficient. Depending on the event the stages are distributed differently but the sound will always be top notch!

From the first time I head about the Ikea conversion, I’ve been wanting to come here. Its huge. We did not have a huge queue to get into the place, only at security. They do have dogs and some lines have metal detectors, which I’ve never seen before. Gum is apparently not allowed but you can bring in an empty water bottle, as there is a free water refill station (like a festival) and they do have paper cups as well or you can buy canned water but they do have to open it. The entrance is very much laid out like a festival - the booths that sell cocktails or zyns or beer or just water. The line to the bathroom is also like a festival ground but the portapotties are kept pretty cleanly and theres no mirrors (at least that I saw) or sinks just hand sanitizer and its onelong entrance way to the toilets for both sexes, all shared and a separate exit. There is an outdoor smoking area, although vaping is allowed. There are lockers- you have to sign up and pay for via a qr code so if you see those just do it, because standing in line you have to do the same. You’re auto assigned a locker and pin. A the smalls are small but was able to fit a leather jacket and 2 jumpers in one. There are two rooms (see vid with cage as one) a very small room and the main stage is huge- lights are incredible- the entrance leads you to the side of the crowd, so can be difficult to reach the other side of the stage. But overall super sick- the sound system was amazing- forgot my earplugs but didnt have ringing the next day or night- but the bass was really good. So awesome- such a cool experience. If you’re in london def check it out. Its a bit far from everything so uber is the way to go or have someone pick you up. There is also a tesco express across the street that was open 30min after the venue closed
