London Warehouse Events, better known as LWE, was formed in July 2010 when Will Harold, Paul Jack and Alice Favre combined their skills to put on a Pryda night with Eric Prydz, in the now legendary Great Suffolk Street warehouse. The show entirely sold out and was one of those once in a life time, incendiary nights. LWE was born and has moved forward with this winning formula of unusual locations, an enormous sound system and world class talent that has become the signature of their events.

And what a USP this has become. LWE got off to a great start in 2011 when they booked an up and coming artist just on the cusp of stardom for their Spectrum show in January 2011. Skrillex blew the venue apart alongside the mighty Pendulum, with both artists tweeting about this show for weeks afterwards. Skrillex said the show was ‘life changing’ and Pendulum said LWE managed to recreate the famed ‘rave vibes of 92′. 2011 saw LWE move around London and use other spaces, as well as branching out into other avenues, which saw them put together the line-up for Electrocity in Poland - a 15,000 capacity festival in a monastery. 2012 has seen them create sell out events with Drumcode, Cocoon, Spectrum, CLr, Halcyon to name just a few.
