Iconic venue Koko, which is set to reopen its doors in London\u00a0next month, has announced that See Tickets will be its official ticketing partner.<\/p>\n
After undergoing a major \u00a370m ($92m\/\u20ac85m) restoration and redevelopment project, the 50,000 square foot live music venue and broadcasting house will host live music and DJ performances.<\/p>\n
Koko boasts nine spaces including the newly-restored 19th century theatre and \u2018Fly Tower\u2019 venue, as well as Caf\u00e9 Koko which will host intimate live performances.<\/p>\n
The venue\u2019s launch programme includes a three-night residency from artist Lianne La Havas, and headline slots from R&B artist Jorja Smith and former frontman of The Libertines, Pete Doherty.<\/p>\n
Rob Wilmshurt, global chief executive at See Tickets, said: \u201cKoko is a game-changing new venue for the industry and See Tickets are so proud that the shareholders recognise our continual commitment to service quality and technical innovation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are very impressed with the imagination behind the development and we firmly believe it will raise the bar for the global venue sector.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prior to being transformed into an immersive space, Koko was a theatre that originally opened in 1900 before becoming a broadcasting centre. It housed productions such as Monty Python\u2019s Flying Circus.<\/p>\n
Over the years, Koko has welcomed international artists such as Madonna and Kanye West, while British acts like Stormzy and Coldplay have also graced the venue.<\/p>\n
