Reportedly, indie pop band Blossoms will play at Lafayette, a new venue at King’s Cross, London. The band is among many names, such as HMLTD, X Ambassadors, and D Double E, confirmed to play at such venue that will open February next year.
London will see a launch of new music venue Lafayette February next year. The venue is run by Ben Lovett, a member of Mumford & Sons, who also owned Omeara—a music venue in the area of London Bridge opened in 2016. Despite its short period of launching, Omeara has hosted numerous gigs for big-name artists like Anne-Marie and Jake Bugg.
On February 2020, Lovett will kick off his second venue Lafayett in the area of King’s Cross. The venue is located very near to Granary Square. Moreover, this upcoming 600-capacity music setting already announced its first promising shows during the opening month. Lafayette will host its very initial gig from HMLTD, emerging London glam rock band, on February 20. Among the names of performers include American alternative band X Ambassadors, British grime artist D Double E, and Oxfordshire singer Willie J Healey. What’s more exciting is the venue will hold a three-day residency from Robert Glasper, a producer and pianist from the US. Lafayette is part of the Goods Way space, a new marketplace that combines spots for live music with street food and bars.
