Altar é um novo local de música e artes, bar e loja de discos que deve abrir em Leytonstone na próxima sexta-feira (23 de outubro). Antes do lançamento, a programação inicial já foi confirmada e apresenta uma mistura de nomes conhecidos e talentos emergentes.

Curated by Jon Clifford (Dreamhouse Records), Toby L (Transgressive Records), Simon Singleton (Shake The High Road Festival) and more, the line-up reflects the venue’s hopes to become an essential spot to catch diverse and compelling artists and performers.

The opening night will host a variety of DJ sets, including intimate performances from Simian Mobile Disco, Kate Hutchinson, Charli Vos, and ALTAR DJs. The event will span across two floors, and entry is free for all guests, operating on a first come, first served basis.

The following Friday (November 6) will mark the first of the club-night series ALTAR Lates, and will welcome singer, songwriter and producer Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip to the stage, performing a special set in the basement area.

Auntie Flo irá se apresentar nas embarcações no sábado, 7 de novembro, e na segunda‑feira, 16 de novembro haverá um exclusivo Evening With Louis Theroux, no qual o jornalista, documentarista e apresentador conduzirá uma conversa com o fundador do ALTAR e cineasta Toby L, além de uma sessão de Q&A com o público.

Wednesday December 16 and Thursday December 17 will mark the first of the ALTAR Piano Nights, and see performances from the Mercury Prize-nominated singer Ed Harcourt on the first night, and Madness frontman Suggs on the second.

Rising Irish/Cornish band Girl In The Year Above are set to play on Friday December 18, having signed to Transgressive Records last month, and dropped a cover of Massive Attack’s ‘Teardrop’ for the soundtrack to Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man before then.

Others on the bill for Altar so far include London based disco-punk duo MADMADMAD, rising DJ and singer Nina Yamada, emerging post-rock group Dog Unit, rising Polish-born, Canadian-raised singer Joyeria, and more.

As well as live performances, the new venue has also announced the Altar Community – three new initiatives to help benefit emerging talent. Altar Under-18 encourages aspiring artists under-age artists to submit their music so that they can be considered as performers for an upcoming series of special nights, booked and staged solely for younger artists.

Altar Mentorships allows for aspiring talent to receive support and advice as they take their first steps in the creative industries, and Altar Rehearsals helps any local musicians utilise the venue’s basement venue for free rehearsal sessions.

War Child has been announced as the charity launch partner for the venue, and opportunities to donate to the non-profit organisation will be available for visitors.
