My PRINTWORKS#
Today I received an email from Printworks about the Closing Weekend Lineup. Although I had heard that Printworks was about to reach its climax, I couldn't help but feel a little sad. I remember back in 2021, during the pandemic, when I went to Printworks for the first time to see the Chemical Brothers perform. It was also my first time going to an Underground Club to enjoy electronic music.
This year, I saw Kx5 perform at Printworks. I won't say much about the combination of Deadmau5 and Kaskade, but fortunately, the organizers didn't put them together for the performance (a wise choice), otherwise, it would have been a commercial mess. Kx5's performance at Printworks was their only show in Europe during this tour, with the rest being in North America. This speaks volumes about Printworks' position in the electronic music industry. Perhaps the organizers wanted to make Printworks more memorable in its final moments.
Everyone's PRINTWORKS#
Background#
Printworks used to be a printing factory but was later transformed into a landmark venue that combines modern art and music culture. Over the years, it has hosted many large-scale music events and has become a sacred place in the hearts of music lovers.
Music Events#
On the stage of Printworks, countless outstanding artists have performed, bringing one amazing music feast after another to the audience. Various music festivals, concerts, and live performances have been held here, showcasing the infinite charm of music.

It has nurtured many music legends and has become a holy place for music fans worldwide. In the DJMag's ranking, Printworks has consistently been in the top five. It has also been featured as one of the filming locations for the new Batman. Yes, the nightclub of the villain in Batman is indeed Printworks in the real world (I noticed the resemblance while watching the movie and googled it to confirm).
The Final Celebration: A Farewell Music Extravaganza#
Printworks, as a versatile event space in the heart of London, has been a gathering place for many music enthusiasts. However, due to the ongoing impact and restrictions of the pandemic, Printworks has announced the closure of its current venue and will host a final music extravaganza.

Over the past six years, we have witnessed the flourishing development of various music genres from Techno to Melodic House, from Disco to Bass.
But Printworks will not fade away. On the contrary, it will continue to exist in a different way and provide even more exciting experiences for music lovers. Therefore, let us raise a glass to the past and future of Printworks and join in the final celebration.
