She is an artist who truly comes alive on stage, making every concert an unforgettable event.

Village Underground: The Perfect Setting

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Shoreditch, East London, Village Underground is far more than just a music venue; it’s an institution. Housed within a converted Victorian warehouse, its distinctive, graffiti-adorned exterior is instantly recognisable, a testament to the area’s artistic and urban spirit. The venue maintains a raw, industrial aesthetic inside, with exposed brickwork, high ceilings, and an intimate standing capacity of around 700, creating an atmosphere that feels both gritty and incredibly personal.

This unique setting provides an unparalleled experience for both artists and audiences, allowing for a close connection that larger arenas simply cannot replicate. Village Underground is celebrated for its exceptional sound system, ensuring that every beat and vocal nuance is delivered with crystal clarity, making it an ideal choice for an R&B artist like Mabel. Its storied history has seen it host an eclectic mix of global talent, from emerging acts to established stars, cementing its reputation as a cornerstone of London’s live music scene. In terms of accessibility, the main performance space is generally accessible, though it’s always advisable to check the venue’s official website for specific needs regarding step-free access to all areas, including facilities.

What to Expect at the Show

Prepare for an evening where Mabel’s signature blend of soulful R&B and infectious pop comes alive in spectacular fashion. While exact setlists are always kept under wraps, fans can anticipate a dynamic mix of her biggest chart-toppers alongside deeper cuts and perhaps a glimpse of new material. Expect to hear beloved hits like “Don’t Call Me Up,” “Mad Love,” “Fine Line,” and “God Is A Dancer,” which will undoubtedly have the crowd singing along at the top of their lungs.

The stage production at Village Underground tends to be more understated, focusing on the artist’s performance and clever lighting design to create atmosphere, rather than elaborate sets. This intimate approach will allow Mabel’s formidable stage presence and vocal talent to truly shine. The atmosphere will be electric – a vibrant fusion of enthusiastic fans, pulsating rhythms, and Mabel’s captivating energy. It promises to be a truly immersive experience, where the boundaries between artist and audience feel delightfully blurred, creating an unforgettable night of live R&B.

Getting to Village Underground

Village Underground is conveniently located in the bustling Shoreditch area of East London, making it easily accessible via various transport links. The venue’s postcode is EC2A 3PQ, which you can use for navigation.

The closest Overground station is Shoreditch High Street, just a short five-minute walk away. For those travelling by Tube, Old Street station (Northern Line) and Liverpool Street station (Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan lines, and National Rail services) are both within a 10-15 minute walk. Numerous bus routes also serve the Shoreditch area, with stops just moments from the venue. We highly recommend using public transport, as parking in this busy part of London is extremely limited and often expensive. If driving is essential, there are a few paid car parks nearby, such as NCP Finsbury Square, but spaces can fill up quickly. Cycling is also a popular option, with several Santander Cycles docking stations dotted around the vicinity.
