London venue Dockyards to relaunch as Silverworks Island this weekend
The 20,000-capacity open-air venue, operated by Broadwick Live, will hold a reopening party this weekend
The London-based venue, Dockyards, has announced it will be re-opening this weekend under a new name, Silverworks Island.
Operated by the owners of the former Dockyards venue, Broadwick Live, the space is said to “remain the same” despite the name change — with a capacity of 20,000 people and an open-air concept.
The venue will host its grand reopening this Saturday (July 1) with a takeover from tech-house imprint Solid Grooves — Dennis Cruz, Jamie Jones, Joseph Capriati, Skream and many more, are set to perform.
