Shanti Celeste, WhoMadeWho, Francis Mercier, Marco Carola, DESIREE, Femi Koleoso to play new Koko Electronic season
London's Koko has revealed the acts gracing its stage for a new Electronic season as part of its 125th anniversary year.
Acts such as DESIREE, Marco Carola, Hernán Cattáneo, Themba, Lee Burridge, Artwork, Swimming Paul, East End Dubs, Michael Bibi, Marco Carola, and Chris Stassy will headline shows.
On Saturday, October 24th Shanti Celeste will present a full venue takeover featuring Leon Vynehall | Danielle, while a WhoMadeWho weekender will see the trio top the bill with a live show on Friday, November 27th then a DJ set on Saturday, November 28th.
Francis Mercier host a three-show Theatre takeover from Friday, November 20th to Sunday, November 22nd November, extending beyond the dancefloor with a Soley FC vs KOKO FC football match in Hackney Wick pitting Mercier’s own team against KOKO’s.
Ezra Collective drummer Femi Koleoso brings Situation Dance back to KOKO on Sunday, December 20th.
Full listings below, for tickets and details go to koko.co.uk/kokoelectronic.
A new film helmed by music video director Eoin Glaister also launches this season as part of the birthday celebrations.
Produced by Stink UK, its as part of a tongue-in-cheek campaign centred on a fictional kebab shop depicting music fans through the eras and a beleaguered shop owner.
Watch out for a cameo by DJ Boring as a punk rocker.
