The Garage in Islington, one of London’s most iconic music venues and site of Orbital’s PRS for Music Heritage Award, will be relaunched in February 2017.
DHP Family, a venue operator and promoter, has unveiled its plans for the venue and the Borderline in Soho.
Relaunching in February 2017, every element of The Garage will be updated. In addition to refurbishing the main music venue (600 capacity) and adding a brand new sound system, three new spaces have also been created within the building.
This means that the venue will house two independent live music spaces as well as a daytime coffee spot, craft beer and cocktail bar.
Having been acquired by DHP Family in May 2016, the transformation sees the company once again working with design partners Zopsigog, who successfully delivered the Nordic inspired Oslo in Hackney.
George Atkins, DHP Family managing director, said: ‘The Garage has been on my radar for about 10 years now when I first looked to buy it.
‘For one reason or another we have just missed out on taking over this iconic venue and breathing new life into it. Its location, layout and history are perfect for what we are looking for in a venue and we look forward to reinventing the space for a new generation.’
Electronic music pioneers Orbital were honoured at the Garage with a PRS for Music Heritage Award in 2013.
