Together @ The Coronet



Together Is Back! On 12th March and every Friday thereafter, London’s club scene will be turned on its head. Elephant and Castle’s The Coronet Theatre welcomes Together for a long anticipated return to the world’s clubbing capital. Together will be the freshest new night to emerge this year and for 16 weeks only will twist and turn your senses in a celebration of all things electronic and alternative every Friday night!

Launched on New Year’s Eve 2001 at the legendary 10,000 capacity Chainstore in East London the first Together event was headlined by none other than The Chemical Brothers and Dave Clarke. The night’s success resulted in four consecutive New Years Eve parties at Turnmills before its popularity resulted in Together going monthly in January 2006.

An exciting pool of talent such as 2manyDJs, Crookers, David Guetta, Fischerspooner, Francois K, Green Velvet, Hot Chip, Justice, Josh Wink, Lethal Bizzle, Ladytron, Klaxons, London Elektricity, MSTRKRFT, Roni Size, Sneaky Sound System, Simian Mobile Disco, Mylo, Trenemoller and many more have all rocked the crowds at Together over the years.

Due to the high standards set by the Together team, recognition soon led to events being held in conjunction with Bestival, Headstart, labels Modular, DFA and Snowbombing. Sadly in 2008 Turnmills closed, meaning Together had one final blow out in March of that year, headlined by Fatboy Slim.

However, the outstanding line-ups weren’t all Together had to offer as the nights were also infamous for injecting creativity into clubland. This included theme nights with fancy dress, fashion shows, freak shows, magic, face painting, retro console games, Andy & Ed’s legendary ‘Swap Shop’, and even the odd free haircut, here and there. The fun element gave Together an extra edge on all other nights across London in terms of audience interaction and pure carnival atmosphere.

The Coronet is a venue to rival any club in London. With a capacity of 2,600 spread over three floors it boasts the biggest main room dancefloor in the capital, not to mention the mind-boggling state of the art sound system. The 1920’s Art-Deco building has a rich history of putting on high calibre events. In the Victorian era the venue housed crowds flocking to see the latest Melodramas, before the era of the Minors ABC show that attracted a congregation every Saturday morning. But fast forward to the present day and it’s the Together faithful that will be seen flocking to The Coronet.

The Together nights will welcome huge and diverse line-ups with every event in an outstanding, underrated venue. Each weekly club night will encompass a melting pot of sounds including the biggest and best DJs and up-and-coming live bands in the alternative electronic scene. All the fun the public have come to expect from Together will also be back as we bring a bit of sunshine to south east London starting this Spring.

Talent confirmed for the first two events include Mylo, Crystal Fighters, The Bloody Beetroots (first live show), Hervé, Kissy Sell Out, Mowgli, Man Like Me, Doorly and more! Lock N Load also curate the Get Loaded events – a London institution.
