A new East London venue is making a significant statement with its debut season. Ironworks, located at Thames Wharf in E16, has announced its first wave of autumn programming — six artist-led day-to-night takeovers running from Saturday 3 October through Sunday 1 November 2026. The inaugural season features a powerhouse lineup including Jamie Jones, Eric Prydz, CamelPhat, Appetite, and Charlotte de Witte.
The venue has been developed by LWE (London Warehouse Events) in partnership with placemaking organisation PROJEKT. This collaboration brings together extensive experience in managing grassroots venues, independent projects, and large-scale electronic music events. The concept is built around extended performances, festival-level production, and the kind of intimacy that only a dedicated venue setting can deliver.
A Season of Curated Performances
The season opens with Jamie Jones, who brings a hand-picked lineup of friends and surprise guests for a one-off show that will include new material and bespoke live elements. It is being positioned as a first look at the next chapter of his artistic output.
Eric Prydz follows, marking a rare venue-scale appearance for an artist more commonly seen on festival main stages and in arenas. The industrial surroundings of Ironworks provide a deliberate backdrop for an artist whose productions lean heavily on atmosphere and visual spectacle.
The third date of the season remains under wraps. The press release describes the mystery act as one of contemporary British culture’s most influential figures with roots in DIY and underground communities, promising a unique live performance. Further details are expected in the coming weeks.
CamelPhat are booked for an extended four-hour set. The Liverpool duo, who earned a Grammy nomination for ‘Cola’ in 2018, rarely receive this level of runway in a club context, allowing the set room to breathe in ways a standard booking would not permit.
Community and Culture
Halloween weekend is dedicated to Appetite, the London party brand that has grown steadily from grassroots DIY roots into one of the capital’s most talked-about promoters. The Ironworks takeover is described as their biggest show to date, with a full lineup still to be confirmed. Charlotte de Witte closes out the inaugural programme. The Belgian techno DJ and producer has become one of the genre’s most consistent headline acts, and this event is framed as one of her most significant London appearances in recent memory.
Beyond the bookings, Ironworks is pitching itself as more than just a venue. The project includes commitments to local employment, partnerships with independent traders, and community initiatives tied to the surrounding area in Newham. It is framing the entire operation as part of a wider ecosystem rather than a standalone club. Tickets go on sale in early July, with registration for priority access available at ironworks.london.
