Ironworks, a new 7,000-capacity venue taking over a former shipbuilding site in the Royal Docks, opens on Saturday 3 October with Jamie Jones launching his new Voyager concept alongside Seth Troxler, Adam Ten, Manda Moor and Goosey b2b Florentia.
Ironworks takes its name from the site’s own history: it was once home to the Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company, the shipyard on the north bank of the Thames that also gave its name to the football club that became West Ham United. More recently the 158,000 sq ft site, split between a 78,000 sq ft warehouse and 80,000 sq ft of riverside outdoor space, has operated behind closed doors, used for film and TV production and local community use. This October, the team behind it opens the site to the public for the first time, with a run of just six large-scale electronic music shows before the venue turns to a broader mix of markets, wellness sessions, outdoor cinema and street food.
Jamie Jones brings Voyager home
The opening show is billed as more than a standard headline set. Voyager traces the sounds, moments and collaborations that have shaped Jamie Jones’s own journey through house music, and on the night that means two distinct performances from him: a dedicated set revisiting his 2010-era sound, and a separate Jamie Jones DJ set with live performances woven in from Ali Love, Camden Cox, Constance Power and Kah-Lo. It’s a personal choice of city, too. Jones came up through London’s club scene before Hot Creations and Paradise took his sound international, and Voyager’s first outing is built around that history. “There’s something special about coming back to London to tell this story,” he said. “So much of what has shaped me as a DJ happened here. The records I discovered, the people I met, the clubs I played, and the nights that changed the way I thought about music. Voyager is a chance to bring all of those different influences into one night and let them live alongside each other. It’s a very personal night for me, but ultimately it’s about sharing that feeling with everyone in the room.”
Seth Troxler, and a new generation of house talent alongside him
Joining Jones is Seth Troxler, a friend and collaborator of more than 15 years going back to their formative years playing together in London and Ibiza. Danish-Filipino DJ and producer Manda Moor, co-founder of Mood Child, brings a Chicago house-influenced sound with releases on Hot Creations, Paradise and Cecille, while Adam Ten, founder of Maccabi House and one of the names to emerge from Tel Aviv’s underground scene, adds his own genre-blurring take on house. Completing the bill, London-born Florentia joins Goosey for a groove-led b2b set, pairing two artists from a newer generation of UK house talent with the more established names around them.
A six-show debut season, with two nights already sold out
Ironworks is being brought to the Royal Docks by PROJEKT, the cultural placemaking organisation behind The Silver Building, The Cause and The Factory, and LWE, part of promoter AMAAD and the team behind Junction 2. Beyond Voyager on 3 October, the inaugural season runs to just five more dates this autumn: Eric Prydz on 10 October and Charlotte de Witte on 1 November are both already sold out, with a still-unannounced show on 23 October, CamelPhat on 24 October and an Appetite Halloween show on 31 October filling out the rest of the run.
The London x London Take: a 7,000-capacity warehouse with two nights already sold out before the venue has even opened is a genuinely rare thing, and Voyager is the one we’d book first of the six if we had to pick. The format, two distinct Jamie Jones sets built around different eras of his career, plus a run of live PAs alongside the DJ set, is a more considered way to open a room this size than a standard headline slot, and the personal framing gives it a different feel to a typical big-warehouse night. We’d book early. Between the two sold-out dates and a debut season capped at six shows total, this isn’t a venue that looks likely to have much spare capacity once word gets round.
