Three years and hundreds of shows after opening, Lafayette is now well known on the UK music scene. It opened its doors at the beginning of March (after Brit Award winner Dave put it through its paces in a secret show the weekend before opening), but the pandemic soon spread apace forcing it to close again at just short of two weeks old.
Since reopening in 2021, the space has played host to everyone from household names such as: Beck, The Pretenders, Charli XCX, Loyle Carner, Ashe and Beverley Knight as well as championing new artists on the rise from the UK and beyond.
At a little over 600-capacity, this spot has the feel of a scale model Shepherd’s Bush Empire but with a sound system on par with the seminal West London venue. Located within the new Goods Way development for all the food and pre/post show drinks, Lafayette is a musician friendly venue, with its own backstage bar (Nola’s), a sound system that does precisely what you want a sound system to do, and a tech spec to rival venues over twice its size.
And it’s a punter friendly one too; impeccable sightlines across the room, a multi-tiered standing balcony, and a venue wide stage allowing you to see all the action wherever you find yourself squeezed between or behind. It’s just a short two minute walk from King’s Cross station, too.
The two-floor auditorium holds 600 and is part of Goods Way, the new social space that is also home to New Orleans-inspired bar, Sweetwater and The Courtyard, home to the London arm of New York Sushi institution Sushi on Jones.
