Power Lunches to close

The much-loved Dalston venue will be saying goodbye with a final party next week

Another London venue bites the dust – Power Lunches, spiritual home to key players of the Hackney DIY music scene , is to close.

The relentlessly DIY venue and rehearsal space has acted as a core to an exciting community of artists, including post punk outfit Shopping, Trash Kit, Sauna Youth, Wetdog, and Golden Grrrls.

The sad news was announced via the venue’s Facebook page. A goodbye party, set to kick off next Saturday (19 December), will feature Sauna Youth, The Glugg, Not Sorry, The Rebel, plus DJs.
