Welcome to No Skips. London’s starting to wake up again. Open decks are popping up across the city, club calendars are filling out, and a few big names are already circling the summer. This week, we’re spotlighting a community-driven open decks night in Shoreditch, a rare three-hour set from Laurent Garnier still up for grabs at FOLD, and the news that Tiësto is heading back to London for a massive open-air show. Spring always feels like the moment the city stretches its legs again. Here’s a glimpse of what’s on this week and what’s ahead.
THIS WEEK
Lab.Club x Faded: Open Decks
🗓 THURSDAY | 📍Club Makossa
🎫 Tickets [Free Event]
Open decks return to Shoreditch as Lab.Club teams up with the Faded Community for a free night built around emerging selectors. DJs sign up on arrival, slots are picked by raffle, and every set gets 20 minutes on a proper club system. Expect everything from house and techno to breaks and garage depending on who steps up. Whether you’re testing new tunes or just here to dance, the whole point is community.
Labyrinth presents: Laurent Garnier (3 Hour Set)
🗓 FRIDAY | 📍FOLD
🎫 Tickets Here
A rare London appearance from one of the true masters. Laurent Garnier returns to FOLD for a three hour set after last year’s show sold out and left the room buzzing. Expect the full spectrum of house and techno, delivered with the depth and patience only a career selector can bring. With Garnier playing only a handful of gigs each year, this one feels special.
fabric: MoBlack, Pablo Fierro, Bontan + more
🗓 FRIDAY | 📍fabric
🎫 Tickets Here
fabric keeps things moving on Friday with a stacked lineup across multiple rooms. MoBlack and Pablo Fierro bring their global house sound while Bontan and residents keep the main room locked in. It’s one of those classic Farringdon nights where you walk in for a set and end up staying until the lights come on.
KOKO Electronic: Maceo Plex
🗓 SATURDAY | 📍KOKO
🎫 Tickets Here
KOKO’s electronic series returns with Maceo Plex taking control of the Camden theatre. Expect melodic techno and deep house rolling through one of London’s most cinematic club spaces. The venue’s sound and lighting setup turns every drop into a full-room moment.
Omnya, Eynka & Youna
🗓 SATURDAY | 📍HERE at Outernet
🎫 Tickets Here
Afterlife favourite Omnya heads to HERE for a night of futuristic techno and trance-leaning sounds. He’s joined by Eynka, known for their work with Adriatique and CamelPhat, and Korean selector Youna. If you want something big, melodic and immersive, this is where to plug in.
Lion & Lamb & Friends: Elia Nafzger (All Night Long)
🗓 SUNDAY | 📍The Lion and Lamb
🎫 Tickets Here
Sunday sessions done properly. Elia Nafzger takes over The Lion and Lamb for an all night long set built for the heads. Expect deep, patient selections and a room full of regulars who know exactly what they came for.
WHAT’S ON: Tiësto
Tiësto
🗓 Sun, 12 July | 📍Silverworks Island
🎫 Tickets Here
Tiësto returns to London for his first major headline show in the capital in eight years. The open-air set at Silverworks Island promises a look back at the trance sound that first made him a global force, with deeper cuts from across his catalogue expected. Set against the industrial backdrop of the Docklands, the night blends nostalgia with scale in one of the city’s most unique outdoor venues. For longtime fans, it’s a rare chance to hear the roots of a legendary career on a summer dance floor.
THE BOOTH
Vintage surf-rock guitars glide over a warm house groove on this one. “Talk To You” feels like the first sunny evening after a long winter. It’s playful, loose and built for open windows and late drives. We’ve had this on repeat imagining festival season already.

London is set to launch its first-ever drug checking services in Hackney and Camden, run by harm reduction charity The Loop. The service will offer free and confidential substance testing, health advice, and real-time insights into local drug market trends, all supported by local councils and the Metropolitan Police. The move follows the success of The Loop’s Bristol service and signals a shift toward evidence-based safety measures as nightlife continues to evolve. For clubbers and communities alike, it marks a significant step toward safer nights out.
