Tickets for the event go on sale from Thursday, March 21 at 10am GMT while pre-sale takes place from 10am GMT on March 19 until 9am on the day of the general sale. The venue will be re-opening next month with opening shows from Nirvana UK, The Smyths, Definitely Mightbe, and UK Foo Fighters.
Editors have also booked a show at the iconic London venue on Thursday, May 2, while The Black Keys are booked to play a two-night residency on Tuesday 7 and Wednesday 8 May.

Monáe’s new remix for her song ‘Champagne Shit’ featuring Latto and Quavo is taken off her recent album, ‘The Age Of Pleasure’, which was given a four-star rating by NME. Monáe described the album as “our oasis made with love, rooted in self-acceptance, throbbing in self-discovery, and signed with cherry red kisses from me to you.”
NME stated, “listening to Monae’s liberating latest album, you start to believe that pleasure is, too.”
