Park Lane venue opens with cutting-edge music festival - 23/07/01

Nestling amongst the chi-chi facades of Mayfair, underneath global behemoth, The Hard Rock Café, CORE is home to not just the future sound of London, but the moves and grooves of the moment. Kicking against the trend for stark, Swedish style exteriors, the understated entrance can easily be missed and gives no indication of the subterranean sound palace beyond it. CORE is one of a few venues in London where you can chill and experience eclectic live music and cutting edge DJs every night of the week.

Situated opposite the Met Bar, CORE is located at 150 Old Park Lane, London, W1. The décor inside is late seventies glam including a Disco 2000-style dance-floor with moveable stage reminiscent of Joan Collins' film classic 'The Stud'. With a capacity of 200, CORE will open fully at the end of July and looks to cement its position at the very heart of the London music scene. To celebrate the launch of the venue, they are running the Core Music Festival.

The Festival will take place from July 24th - 31st. Artists already confirmed to perform live at the festival include South (pictured above), Rialto, Dirty Vegas, Crazy Penis, Grand Union, Bridge & Tunnel, Jon Hopkins and Marissa Anglin. DJ sets are also confirmed from The Avalanches, Jon Carter (pictured left), Ross Allen, Medicine, Dot Allison, Mavenalli Project, Kelvin Andrews and Harvey, who will be celebrating his birthday with a Saturday night party at CORE and a very special 4-hour DJ set.

The weeklong CORE Music Festival aims to promote up-and-coming new music with cross-genre appeal.
