The team behind Shoreditch’s riotous Old Blue Last and favourite Dalston night spot Birthdays, alongside associated partner Vice, are set to continue their legacy of supporting London’s local nightlife, taking the Sebright Arms under their wing and breathing new life into the long-established stalwart of the city’s music scene.

Having closed its doors earlier this month for refurbishment, the iconic venue will re-open again to the public - only half finished! - on Monday 6th March. To mark the occasion they are throwing a series of intimate gigs throughout the month. Partnering with So Young Magazine and DIY Presents for special nights within the series, the back-to-back shows will see some of the biggest and best names on the circuit playing to the much loved 150-capacity space, with Ulrika Spacek, Spring King, Gengahr, Traams, Dead Pretties, LICE and Hotel Lux all announced so far.

The venue will also be partnering with DICE, the ticketing app dedicated to supporting independent venues and growing the live music industry.

"We've spent more of our lives than we probably should have propping up the bar at The Old Blue Last, so we’re ridiculously excited to work with the team behind The Old Blue Last to introduce a whole new generation of music fans to The Sebright Arms”. Ross Allmark, Head of Venues

“We're beyond excited to be working on Sebright Arms, there's a real simplicity and authenticity to it all – it's a straight up boozer with an incredible sounding venue that myself, along with a lot of other people hold in high regard. Most importantly, it's another bar I can get away with spending most of my time in, and calling it work.

We want to bring Sebright back to it's original form, filling it with an in house programme consisting of some of the most exciting, up and coming acts as well as established acts in a setting you'd never normally be able to see them in, which is something that we've developed a great reputation for doing so over at our other sites.

The response from everyone we've told so far has been overwhelmingly positive so it's already been a total pleasure to work on. We can't wait to properly move in and invite everyone over for a pint.” Cal McRae Head booker of Vice

Stay tuned for further announcements over the next few weeks, this is going to be a busy month at the Sebright Arms!
