UK: Can Nightlife be Saved? Live from Fabric

Fabric is fighting a battle to stay alive. 40% of London venues have closed in the past 10 years. There is a clear disjoint between not just generations, but between communities and the bodies they elect; between cultural spaces, and those who wield regulatory powers over them. It's a bleak scene.

Following panels on Brexit and Black Lives Matter, and in the shadow of Fabric's closure becoming worldwide news, we turn to discuss one of the most pressing issues in contemporary London: the challenges facing nightlife, and the slow erasure of culture from the city.

Joining us will be Emily Thornberry, MP for Islington South + Finsbury; Mirik Milan, Night Mayor of Amsterdam; outspoken artists and Fabric regulars, Goldie and Artwork; Alex Benson from Bloc; Dan Beaumont from Chapter 10, Dalston Superstore and (the now sadly shut) Dance Tunnel; and, naturally, Cameron Leslie, co-founder of Fabric.

This is major issue that requires immediate attention and a nuanced solution. Don't miss our discussion – it's on all of us now to #savenightlife
