Recently, London’s nightlife has been hit by the cost of living crisis and soaring inflation rates. The impact has been felt by many clubs and music venues struggling to stay afloat. By working with these iconic venues Project 6 highlighted the importance of London’s nightlife culture – and in doing so, extended their daytime party to unite music lovers and support local venues as the sun went down. Including 10 iconic London venues, Brixton Electric, Steelyard, Fabric, M.O.T, Village Underground, Colour Factory, Phonox, Xoyo & Hootananny.
Team at Project 6 comment, “Project 6 launched in style yesterday, with sunshine and people embracing the beginning of festival season. We express immense gratitude to the talented artists who brought an incredible energy to the event. Witnessing the day transition into lively nighttime sessions and the support for various venues across London was fantastic.”
