"All we're asking from Hackney Council is a fair and transparent process for Moth Club, one of London's most legendary grassroots venues. This is a 300-cap space that has hosted everyone from Lady Gaga to Four Tet to Christine & The Queens, and where the next wave of emerging artists rely on rooms like ours to take their first steps. Yet throughout this planning process, we've been met with zero clarity, zero communication, and zero fairness."
"We deserve better, and so does every venue fighting to keep culture alive in this city. This isn't just about Moth Club; it's about protecting the future of live music in London and beyond. Huge names have already signed up to support us; from Green Day, Lewis Capaldi and Tame Impala to just about every venue, label and promoter in London. There's a wider ecosystem at play here. It's not just about the bricks and mortar, it's about the people who make these spaces matter."
A planning application for residential flats adjacent to MOTH Club threatens the venue's operation. MOTH Club operates as a 300-capacity grassroots live-music room that has hosted artists including Lady Gaga, Four Tet and Christine & The Queens. The campaign demands a fair and transparent planning process, citing zero clarity, zero communication and zero fairness during the current proceedings. Kickers and Save Our Scene are organising a benefit concert at MOTH Club on Thurs 18 December 2025, 7–10pm, featuring Kojey Radical and The Silhouettes Project. Free tickets are available for fans who email Hackney Council in support of the MOTH campaign. Major artists and local music organisations have expressed support.
