A new East London venue is making a serious 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, featuring 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 — a pairing that brings experience across 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 venue setting can deliver.

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’s being positioned as a first look at the next chapter of his output.

Eric Prydz follows — and the venue itself is worth noting here. Prydz is far more commonly seen on festival main stages and in arenas, making a venue-scale London appearance genuinely rare. The industrial surroundings of Ironworks seem like a deliberate choice for an artist whose productions lean heavily on atmosphere and visual spectacle.

The third date is still 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 — and promises a live performance. Further details are expected in the coming weeks.

CamelPhat are booked for an extended four-hour set. The Liverpool duo, who scored a Grammy nomination for ‘Cola’ back in 2018, rarely get that kind of runway in a club context, so the format should give the set room to breathe in ways a standard booking wouldn’t allow.

Halloween weekend goes to Appetite, the London party brand that has grown steadily from grassroots DIY roots into one of the capital’s more 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 over the past several years, and the press release frames this as one of her more significant London appearances in recent memory.

Beyond the bookings, Ironworks is pitching itself as something more than a venue. The project includes commitments to local employment, partnerships with independent traders, and community initiatives tied to the surrounding area in Newham. It’s framing the whole thing as part of a wider ecosystem rather than a standalone club.

Six nights is a deliberately small opening run. Whether that’s pragmatism or positioning, it does give the season a focused, event-driven feel rather than a venue simply filling a calendar.

Tickets go on sale in early July. You can register for priority access at ironworks.london.
