After a deluge of bad news regarding clubbing venues within London we are finally pleased to have something positive to report as London’s O2 arena have revealed that they are to replace the Proud2 nightclub on its premises after going into partnership with London Warehouse Events. Set to known from here on out as Building Six, the 3000 capacity venue originally opened as Matter back in 2008 before reopening as Proud2 in 2011 after a 1 million pound refurbishment. Building Six now plans to host a variety of different club nights, gigs and events.
In a statement, Will Harold, the director of LWE, commented: “This is a great thing for London’s club scene right now. Promoters have been struggling to find the spaces they need to accommodate the level of talent there is out there. Dance music is growing and this is the perfect venue to take it to the next level, specially with the amazing body sonic dancefloor and layout, this makes it the perfect space for any event.” General manager of The O2 Rebecca Kane, added: “I am very excited at the prospect of working with LWE to deliver some cool events in Building Six – our newest space within The O2. The high profile club nights the promoter is renowned for delivering are a perfect fit for the warehouse-style space the venue offers.
