The Garage is an iconic North London live-music and club venue at 20-22 Highbury Corner (N5 1RD), roughly 100 metres from Highbury & Islington station. Opened in 1993, the main room holds 600 and a 2017 revamp added an intimate 150-capacity upstairs room, The Grace, plus an all-day bar. It has hosted a remarkable roll-call of acts on the way up — The Killers, Jack White, Mumford & Sons, Suede, Wolf Alice, Green Day, Muse, Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Paramore, Oasis and My Chemical Romance among them. A staple of the touring indie, rock, alternative and punk circuit and a proper grassroots step-up venue, it pairs gigs with regular club nights.
