Things are about to get supremely chilled across both Spiritland venues with a new King's Cross residency and two kings of electronica at Southbank.

We're delighted to welcome The Chill Out Tent for a new fortnightly Sunday session in King’s Cross. The Chill Out Tentwas birthed by the ever-prolific Chris Coco and Matt Nearest Faraway during lockdown as an online space to build a community around music, arts and wellness. Now it comes to life every other Sunday in King's Cross between Midday and 5pm.

We couldn’t think of a better soundtrack to our Sundays at Spiritland - come for the music, stay for the brunch action and Bloody Marys. It doesn't get much more Balearic than that.

Remaining true to the motto “I tried with the four-on-the-floor, but I can’t make it”, Angie tempted dancefloors and festivals.
