The world’s first socially distanced immersive music event and venue 04 Jun 2020
OPENING OCTOBER 2020
AT A SECRET LOCATION IN LONDON BRIDGE
One Night Records, a brand-new immersive music event and venue, launches this October 2020 at a secret London Bridge location, it is announced today [04.06]. For a limited initial run, the exciting new live event, the first of its kind to be designed as a social distanced experience, will offer guests the chance to spend a unique night out together with a group of friends or family in a specially designed safe environment. Through a maze of hidden tunnels, One Night Records is an immersive gateway into a whole secret world of live music and a celebration of the bold innovators and rule breaking music makers of the 1950s back to the 1920s.
Throughout history, music has been one of the most disruptive and unifying forces of culture and society. One Night Records, promises just this - a musical adventure and a unique night out in a world adapting to a new future. Traveling back in time with a group of friends or family, visitors will experience live music, its radical energy and disruptive nature as never seen before.
The producers are pleased to announce that as the first socially distanced immersive event, One Night Records provides a safe environment to spend a night out with up to four family members or friends, once again enjoying an evening of live music, food and drink. Stepping into the secret venue, individual groups embark on this specially curated musical journey. Limited spaces for each night are on sale, alongside staggered arrivals, to ensure social distancing and further measures are in place with the guarantee to meet all official guidelines on events and gatherings.
Tim Wilson, Managing Director of One Night Records, founder of VAULT Festival and long-term collaborator with Punchdrunk and Secret Cinema, says: “We’re going to do it safely, but we’re going to get people back together and we’re going to give them an amazing night. The social distancing is part of the show so guests won’t notice it. We want to give Londoners something to book now and to look forward to.“
Entering the hidden tunnels of the One Night Records experience, an unexpected immersive journey awaits, leading through a melodic maze right into the heart and soul of music. From Rock & Roll, Blues, Ragtime, Jazz and everything in between, One Night Records is a unique time machine, a celebration of music and music makers, and London’s escape from lockdown.
One Night Records is an immersive gig, transporting the audience back to six ground-breaking concert experiences, featuring songs from music’s great, alongside original material performed by a rotating roster of exceptional new talent. The first artists joining the ever-evolving line up include Errol Linton, Dom Pipkin, Georgia Van Etten and The Cinelli Brothers. By encouraging and continuously adding new artists to the rotating roster, One Night Records will focus on supporting and giving opportunities and a platform to emerging artists and rising talent.
Talking about the musical ambitions behind One Night Records, Tommy Hare, Head of Artists and Repertoire at One Night Records, says: “One Night Records is like a living record shop where, in 2020, audiences will revel amidst the hits of Chuck Berry, Jelly Roll Morton Hank Williams, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong and Scott Joplin. You’ll find gems you’ve never heard before and also see and hear the hits and legends of the future. If the late, great Chuck Berry was right about the rocking pneumonia, then a shot of Rhythm & Blues is the only cure… and we’re opening the dispensary here in London, so come and get your fix!”
Evoking a unique and electrifying sense of nostalgia with a modern, Rock & Roll edge, the One Night Record experience is propelled by some of Britain’s most ground-breaking and exciting underground food pioneers. Each night, innovative and cutting-edge food and beverage packages will be available, curated by visionary food specialist and Award-winning baker Daniel Wright. Guests can expect the unexpected, from British classics with a twist to contemporary ration boxes, all specially designed to fuse into and complement the immersive musical experience.
ONE NIGHT RECORDS PREMIERES ON FRIDAY, 2 OCTOBER 2020 AND RUNS UNTIL THURSDAY, 31 DECEMBER.
TICKETS FOR ONE NIGHT RECORDS WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM THURSDAY, 4 JUNE 2020 VIA
