6. Soho Rising presents: Willow Kayne at Shoreditch House
For our next Soho Rising installment, we welcome Willow Kayne, a genre-blurring pop artist whose eclecticism she attributes to being raised by a hip-hop and house-obsessed father, and a mother who produced videos for the likes of Erasure and The Prodigy. James Brown, Nas and MF DOOM were all significant early influences, and Kayne also cites artists as diverse as Tyler, The Creator, the Sex Pistols, Gorillaz, and Portishead as sources of musical inspiration. 

Soho Rising, supported by Bowers & Wilkins, is our platform for championing the best emerging talent around, giving you the chance to see the stars of tomorrow first. Please note: the performance starts at 9pm, but this event is open on a first-come, first-served basis. Please arrive early if you wish to attend.

Book this event for you and your guests here.

7. Cktrl and friends residency at Shoreditch House

At this not-to-be-missed event, he takes over the Library at Shoreditch House, joined by friends and special guests.
