The venue – which as well as a nightclub and live music venue, offers itself as a food court and multi-functional venue which has served as for everything from summer day sessions to afterparties.
Those on the bill will be playing across both of the venue’s spaces, ‘The Factory’ and ‘The Mezzanine’, and Colour Factory has promised “plenty of b2b action”.
Colour Factory is the brainchild of Nathanael Williams, with a social mission motivating its movements, championing diversity, inclusion and equality. It is dubbed as the largest Black-owned music venue in East London, which endeavours to support new talent and create opportunities for new creatives in music.
