Chase & Status are playing a free, one-night-only show in Shoreditch this Friday, and the exact location won’t be revealed until the day before.
CUPRA Raval x Chase & Status: RECHARGED lands in Shoreditch on Friday 14 August, marking the UK arrival of CUPRA’s new all-electric urban car with a genuinely secret gig from one of British electronic music’s biggest live draws.
The event is free and open to the public on a first come, first served basis, with doors from 5pm. Capacity is strictly limited, and CUPRA is recommending early arrival for anyone hoping to get in.
Where to find it
This is a proper secret gig: CUPRA isn’t naming the venue in advance. The exact Shoreditch location will be revealed through @CUPRA_UK’s Instagram 24 hours before the show, so keep an eye on their page from Thursday 13 August if you want to be there.
Why Chase & Status, why now
This isn’t CUPRA’s first run at pairing the Raval launch with a surprise gig. In April, the brand staged a near-identical ticketless event in Manchester, where Chase & Status and Lancey Foux premiered their collaboration “Homework” at Projekts Skatepark, one of five simultaneous European reveals for the car alongside Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, Berlin and Milan. Shoreditch looks to be London picking up where that left off.
The timing works in the duo’s favour too. Chase & Status are booked to headline Reading & Leeds Festival 2026 later this month, their third time topping the bill there, so Friday’s intimate show is a rare chance to catch them at close range before they’re back on a festival main stage.
The London x London Take: a free, genuinely surprise gig from a festival-headlining act is not something London gets offered often, and the deliberate secrecy around the venue is clearly part of the draw rather than a logistics problem. Follow CUPRA UK’s Instagram from Thursday, have a rough plan for getting to Shoreditch quickly, and treat the 5pm start as a real deadline given the strictly limited capacity.
