A new 250-capacity venue named Radial is scheduled to open its doors in Tottenham on September 5. The space is intended to champion emerging artists and present a diverse range of cultural programming, including live music, performances, talks, and listening sessions.
Venue Features and Support
Radial boasts a custom-built sound system and acoustics that were developed in collaboration with acoustician Nick Whitaker, who has previously worked on projects such as the nightclub Plastic People. The venue's design was undertaken by creative studio SODA, drawing inspiration from Olafur Eliasson’s The Weather Project. Flexible seating arrangements will accommodate up to 80 guests for seated events. The initiative has received backing from the Arts Council England's Supporting Grassroots Music fund.

Ten87 Studios' Expansion
Radial is operated by Ten87 Studios, an organisation founded in 2014 by Rob Burn and Romy Quinnen. Ten87 Studios was established to address a lack of quality creative spaces in London and currently manages three sites in Tottenham, providing over 60 recording studios and workspaces. The studio has a history of supporting artists such as Fontaines D.C., Wolf Alice, and Mount Kimbie. The opening of Radial represents an expansion for Ten87 Studios, moving from music production into live performance spaces. Rob Burn stated that small venues are crucial for artists within their studio community and that they aim to build upon Tottenham's cultural heritage.
“We just want to give people a new space for culture and connection. Which feels important now, more than ever.”
