KOKO is one of London's most iconic live music venues, set in the Grade II listed former Camden Theatre and Camden Palace at 1A Camden High Street (NW1 7JE). Following a multi-million-pound, three-year restoration after a 2020 roof fire, it reopened in April 2022 as a 50,000 square foot, four-floor entertainment complex with a grand main auditorium, six balconies, two mezzanines overlooking the stage, a roof terrace, a secret club and five bars, plus a members' club. The room holds 1,500 standing for headline gigs and up to 250 seated theatre-style, with state-of-the-art sound and full in-house production. Its programme spans touring rock, pop, indie and electronic acts plus album showcases and club nights. September 2026 alone brings Franky Rizardo, RIVO, Banda El Recodo, WILLOW, Ezra Collective and Friends, Lee Burridge and Pale Waves, several already sold out. A Camden landmark since its Camden Palace heyday. Venue hire and general enquiries 020 7388 3222.
