Event Review: La Discothèque – 13th November 2026 – Drumsheds, London
If there’s one thing guaranteed to put a smile on your face, it’s a night dedicated to disco. And La Discothèque’s takeover of London’s Drumsheds on Friday 13th November certainly delivered, bringing a generous dose of feel-good energy, flamboyant outfits and Miami-inspired glamour to north London.
Set inside a huge, refurbished former IKEA building near Tottenham Hale, Drumsheds is quite something. Despite its enormous size, everything was incredibly well organised, making the whole experience surprisingly hassle-free. Frequent event buses ran to and from the venue, meaning getting home was never an issue, particularly welcome given its somewhat grey surroundings and less-than-ideal transport links. There were also plenty of lockers available to purchase in advance, another thoughtful touch that made navigating such a huge venue much easier.
With multiple dancefloors to choose from, there was plenty of opportunity to explore, although we found ourselves spending most of the night in the main room. And what a room it was. The enormous screen stretching across the back of the main stage was easily one of the widest we’ve ever seen, providing a spectacular backdrop to the DJ booth. Behind and around the decks, crowds of VIP revellers danced away, while flamboyant performers in gold and baby-pink latex outfits, complete with feather boas, added another layer of entertainment.
The whole production had a distinctly Miami feel, with flamingos, leafy shirts and colourful, neon-soaked South Beach-inspired visuals filling the giant screens. It was playful, unapologetically extravagant and exactly what you’d hope for from a disco-themed party.
Musically, the line-up was equally impressive. Special guest Folamour brought his infectious energy to the party, while the supporting roster featured an eclectic mix of talent, including Jayda G, DJ Paulette, Dan Shake, Ron Trent, Dombresky presents Disco Dom, Jennifer Loveless and the La Discothèque Orchestra, alongside Daisybelle, Disco Voix featuring Jenna G, Heléna Star, Siggy and Tarzsa.
Taking centre stage as the night’s headliner was Purple Disco Machine, who delivered exactly the kind of feel-good set the occasion called for. Incorporating some of the hitmaker’s most celebrated and successful tracks, including crowd favourites Hypnotized and In The Dark, his set was a fitting soundtrack to a night dedicated to getting people moving.
Ultimately, La Discothèque was much more than just another club night. It was a full-blown disco celebration, complete with larger-than-life production, plenty of visual theatre and an infectious party atmosphere. Drumsheds proved to be the perfect playground for it all, delivering a night of unapologetic escapism that left little to complain about.
