Belgian techno icon Charlotte de Witte has announced her only UK performance of 2026, set to take place on Sunday, November 1, at Ironworks, London’s highly anticipated new warehouse venue. The exclusive event not only marks one of the most significant dates on this year’s electronic music calendar but also serves as a milestone moment for Ironworks as it prepares to launch its inaugural season.
Renowned for her uncompromising sound and commanding performances, Charlotte de Witte has established herself as one of the most influential artists in contemporary techno. Her return to London comes after another year of major international appearances, making this standalone headline show a rare opportunity for UK audiences to experience one of the genre’s leading figures in an intimate, purpose-built setting.
A landmark event for London’s newest electronic music destination
Located at Thames Wharf in the Royal Docks, Ironworks is an ambitious new cultural and entertainment venue developed by LWE in collaboration with PROJEKT. Transforming a former industrial site into a cutting-edge event space, the venue spans more than 150,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor areas, combining industrial architecture with modern production capabilities designed specifically for large-scale electronic music events.
Ironworks has been created to offer more than a traditional warehouse experience. Alongside world-class sound and lighting systems, the venue will feature expansive outdoor spaces overlooking the Thames, as well as a year-round cultural programme including food markets, wellness events, film screenings, and community initiatives. The project reflects London’s continued investment in revitalizing industrial spaces into destinations for music, arts, and culture.
Charlotte de Witte headlines an impressive opening season
De Witte’s performance will conclude Ironworks’ debut season, joining a carefully curated opening programme featuring internationally acclaimed artists including Eric Prydz, Jamie Jones, CamelPhat, and Appetite, alongside additional special performances yet to be announced.
By securing one of techno’s most recognizable names for its inaugural season, Ironworks signals its ambition to establish itself among Europe’s premier electronic music venues from the outset. The venue’s focus on artist-led events and immersive production aims to deliver experiences that extend beyond conventional club nights.
One of techno’s defining artists
Over the past decade, Charlotte de Witte has become synonymous with modern techno, earning worldwide recognition through her relentless touring schedule, acclaimed productions, and influential record label, KNTXT.

Following the success of her self-titled debut album and an extensive international touring schedule, her performances have become increasingly selective. As a result, the announcement of an exclusive UK appearance has generated considerable anticipation among fans, with demand expected to be exceptionally high.
