Wood Street in Liverpool has been home to some of the city’s greatest rock venues, and this summer, it’s gearing up to welcome a new metal club.
K1 Metal Club is an exciting new space, born from the ashes of The Krazyhouse. It promises to be a haven for rock and metal music fans, offering a dedicated venue where they can come together and celebrate their passion for heavy music.

The original Krazyhouse left a huge mark on Liverpool’s club and music scene, hosting some of the nation’s leading bands before they hit the big time. Including Korn, Fear Factory, Tool to Fozzy ‘Metal’ has always had a place at TheK! Alongside Alternative acts like Stone Temple Pilots, Placebo, Bush & Rock/Indie giants such as Love/Hate, The Wildhearts, Therapy Radiohead, Suede, Oasis, Ash & more the venue provided a platform for emerging talent and established itself as a must-visit destination for music lovers from far and wide. https://circlekj.wordpress.com/krazy-krazy-nights/
Now, the team behind The Krazyhouse is back with K1 Metal Club, a new incarnation housed in the former Camel Club on Wood Street. The venue’s conversion signals a shift from its previous dance-oriented vibe to something rockier, reflecting the demand from fans for a dedicated rock and metal club in the city. They said: “Ever since The Krazyhouse closed down a few years back there hasn’t been a proper metal/rock club left in the city. There are plenty of one-off nights but there’s no singular club doing weekly events. For fans there has been nowhere left where you know that if you turn up there will always be a rock night happening. A few key people involved in The Krazyhouse from the 90’s through to the 2010’s met up a couple of months ago and started putting plans together for what would become the K1 Metal Club. After looking at what buildings were available to us, we decided straight away that the venue known as the Camel Club made the most sense. It is all part of the old Krazyhouse / Sloanes / Wilsons / Freewheelers building, so there is an awful lot of rock history in that place and on the same iconic street: there is so much history in those walls and we can’t wait to add to it.
K1 Metal Club added: “We think there is still a huge appetite for metal music in the city, across so many key demographics. As a team we want to cater to established fans by opening in the afternoon for those who don’t want to be staying out well past midnight. However, we won’t be closing early either! We know we will be hosting events for a wide age-range of audiences in this new venue. We welcome those who first turned up to The Krazyhouse back in the day, to new fans who really want a place where they can indulge their musical passions. We also anticipate being able to support fresh and up-and-coming talent, which our city has such a reputation for. To start off with, we are only planning on opening on Saturdays, but we’re hoping it won’t be too long until we can open more often. We are already looking at other nights and working out ideas. We’re even already got options to add more rooms! Most of all, we look forward to providing a really unique space which the legendary Liverpool music scene is crying out for. “
The launch event is on Saturday 29 June 2024, doors open at 3.00pm. You can get your tickets here: https://www.fatsoma.com/p/k1metalclub
