October lineups

After a downturn-busting September which saw virtually every party nearing full Capacity, Shoreditch's 54 returns with a set of lineups which read like a whos-who of the cream of underground electronic talent.

Standing out from other venues in the London locale like a colossus, in it's three-year history, its pushed boundaries week in week out, supplying consistently liding lineups in its famous red basement room. This October will prove to be no exception with the legendary Norman Jay confirmed already, and the now-infamous Rainbow Value pitching up camp for its Halloween party. This is going to be big: believe.

Expect tricks and treats and quite possibly some Halloween related sweets, fancy dress is not essential although you might look out of place and scare the ghosts. We will be dressing people up on the night so they are sure to give a fright, Don´t be scared you a actually might like it! With music coming with a live set from Glimpse, one of Londons rising stars in the pàst few years, having recently moved to Berlin, Glimpse is flying back for the weekend to celebrate Halloween with us.
