Speaking to RA, director Nathanael Williams said: "We are the only large Black-owned music venue in East London. We are committed to representing and reflecting the diverse community of London, and so every single one of our in-house lineups will always incorporate at least one person of colour and will always be mixed gender."

On Facebook, Colour Factory wrote: “As we wind up to our grand opening in the summer, we’re launching a series of warm-up events in our new open-air garden. Every weekend from April to June, we invite some of London's most beloved to go long in our terrace booth; day into night.”
