London’s architectural icon the Barbican is being transformed into a every boy-racer’s dream with a new immersive experience.
In a collaboration between the brutalist labyrinth which is the Barbican and online music broadcaster and club promoter Boiler Room, this summer will see a rave of epic proportions hit the…parking lot.
Yep, you read that right: Barbican’s Car Park number five will play host to an epic immersive rave experience for gearheads and music fans alike.
We guess the real question is when can we get tickets and more importantly, where are we going to park?

This immersive experience is every boy-racer’s dream
This summer, those who enjoy the rave lifestyle should visit the hottest new club, which will be based at London’s architectural icon, the Barbican. But it will be a little bit different, located in one its underground parking lot.
Online music broadcaster and club promoter Boiler Room will be setting up a temporary home in the Barbican Car Park 5.
It’s using the acoustics for part of its Feel The Sound multi-sensory exhibition, which explores the relationship between sound and the human body.
The reason it may be popular for not just club rats, but also boy-racers is due to the installation’s use of modified car sound systems to make music and sound.
Rve in the parking lot of London’s architectural icon
The Barbican is really maximizing every part of its building, including even the parking lot.
But Boiler Room will be utilizing a lot of the architectural icon including the Curve Gallery, and Silk Street Entrance, as well as the Lakeside Terrace.
The organizers promise that it won’t just be a classic nightclub, but rather a series of high-concept sonic experiences.
See you there? Guess we’ll have to park somewhere else though…
