by

7 Will Bring Super-Club Level Sound and Light To An Intimate Subterranean Space Beneath The BoTree, Marylebone 

Website | Instagram 

This September sees the launch of 77; a new nightlife and event space hidden beneath the streets of Central London. Purpose-built for sound, design and experience, the 550-capacity space brings together world-class music, advanced technology and attentive hospitality in an intimate setting. The venue officially opens to the public on Friday, 26 September.

77 is designed to make music an experience you feel as much as hear. Its L-Acoustics sound system complete with KS21 subs delivers warmth and clarity throughout the room, while a high-spec visual set-up, including Robe lighting, lasers, CO2 jets, strobes and LED screens, creates a fully immersive environment. A split-level layout features an upper mezzanine with VIP tables spread across both floors, each with direct views of the floor and full-service hospitality.

Eniz Hilmi, Director of Music, says: “We’ve designed 77 to deliver the same world class production experience you’d expect from a huge venue, whilst ensuring the connection between the artist and the audience is at the forefront. Our focus is on creating a one-of-a-kind experience where both DJs and live acts can truly connect with the crowd. We’re also encouraging artists to play extended sets, and in some cases, even all night long, something DJs rarely get the chance to do in London, giving artists freedom to tell a full story with their music, while fans get to experience them in a way they can’t anywhere else in the city.”

The venue is fully soundproofed and acoustically treated, making it an adaptable setting for club nights, album launches, fashion events and brand activations. Every detail, from the modular design to the service style, has been shaped to heighten connection between artists and audiences.

Behind 77 is a team of industry leaders: Jonathan Wade, nightlife veteran and former Tao Group executive; Eniz Hilmi, tastemaker and programmer with credits across Rinse FM, Mas Tiempo and a host of major UK festivals; and Sebastian Banovic, hospitality operator with experience across some of London’s most iconic venues including KOKO, The Roof Gardens and Tramp. Together, they’ve turned an idea into a cultural movement, creating a space where music, people and culture stand together on equal footing.

Mysteryland closes chapter in spectacular fashion with iconic end show

by

A new concept will launch in 2027 

Mysteryland concluded its final edition in its current iconic form last night with a breathtaking, fully integrated grand finale featuring 800 drones. Next year, the festival will take a creative break, returning in 2027 with a brand-new concept. This year, Mysteryland welcomed 100,000 visitors from 81 countries. The redesigned mainstage was the largest to date, built in the shape of an arena where guests danced on and around the dancefloor across four levels. Tens of thousands gathered around the iconic pyramid, forming a pulsating sea of collective energy. 

This year’s final show was more immersive and expansive than ever before: 800 drones, fireworks, lasers, video, lights, and sound were choreographed into a 15-minute spectacle where every element seamlessly merged into one another. The sky above the pyramid transformed into a living canvas, as the crowd was enveloped in 360 degrees of fireworks and visual effects. New this year was the narrative character of the end show, centered around themes of love and connection. The result was a total spectacle – unprecedented in scale – that once again pushed the boundaries of festival production. The show was developed in collaboration with partner AB InBev / BUD. 

Sander Vermeulen, Creative Director of Mysteryland:

“We wanted to close this chapter of Mysteryland with a finale bigger than ever before: a show centered around love and connection. What we’ve created here with Mysteryland is about complete integration. Drones, lasers, video, fireworks, and sound all speak to one another, forming a single visual and musical story. It’s no longer just about the technology; it’s about what happens when everything truly comes together.” 

As always, this edition featured some of today’s biggest names alongside legendary acts. From Hardwell and Marlon Hoffstadt to trance icons Paul van Dyk and Eric Prydz, from FISHER to techno artists like Indira Paganotto, Adriatique, SNTS, Patrick Mason, and rising talent Benwal. The Dutch urban scene was also strongly represented, with fan favorites like Ronnie Flex and Broederliefde. New hosts this year included the beloved Bloemendaal beach club Woodstock ‘69, Radio De Koperen Hond, Indira Paganotto’s ARTCORE, and Amsterdam’s iconic nightclub Shelter. Longtime collaborators such as Vunzige Deuntjes, JOY, Trance Energy, Paardenrave, and Nachtcollege also returned. 

Mysteryland 2025 marked the final edition in its current iconic form. After a creative break in 2026, the organization will return in 2027 with a renewed concept – once again redefining the boundaries of music, creativity, and experience. Visitors can now pre-register via Mysteryland. The full end show will be available soon on Mysteryland’s YouTube channel. See first snippets here

Marquee Nightclub Unveils Next Chapter with Stunning Remodels in New York and Las Vegas

by

Tao Group Hospitality announces the highly anticipated debut of the newly remodelled Marquee Nightclub New York followed by the grand reopening of the reimagined Marquee Nightclub Las Vegas. These transformative renovations mark a bold new era for the iconic nightlife brand, blending cutting-edge design, world-class entertainment, and an elevated guest experience in two of the world’s most dynamic nightlife capitals.

Marquee New York will reopen this September after undergoing its third complete renovation in 22 years. 

Designed in partnership with Jack Hotho, the redesign is both a tribute to the original Marquee and a forward-thinking update built with today’s audience in mind. The space has been completely gutted and reimagined to feel warm, music-driven, and content-focused—highlighted by an upgraded LED system,  immersive visual technology and a more expansive dance floor. Rich dark oak finishes and subtle purple accents bring depth and a moody elegance to the room. Above all, the renovation is an ode to New York, rooted in listening to what the crowd wanted and delivering a refreshed, future-ready Marquee with an artist line-up that includes Steve Aoki, Kaskade, Oliver Heldens, Francis Mercier, Chris Lorenzo, Elderbrook, and more.

Hot on the heels of the New York debut, Marquee Las Vegas will reopen this October, revealing a dramatic transformation of  the main room of its legendary multi-level venue inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. The remodel will introduce next-generation audiovisual technology with a high-resolution, 1.5 ton monolith LED screen, a moving LED centrepiece and an enhanced lighting and laser rig to bring festival-style production to the main room. Drawing inspiration from the amethyst stone, the space now features custom metallic wall coverings, bronze mirror panels, and lush burgundy and champagne velvets, all designed to let the music and visuals take the spotlight. Headliners at Marquee Las Vegas include Fisher, Alesso, Steve Aoki, Pauly D, Loud Luxury, Benny Benassi, Cedric Gervais, Claptone and more.

“Marquee has always been synonymous with energy, music, and unforgettable moments,” said Noah Tepperberg, Co-CEO of Tao Group Hospitality. “It’s more than a nightclub, it’s a cultural touchpoint that’s evolved with the times while staying rooted in the pulse of nightlife. With these remodels, we’re honoring the legacy of the brand while elevating every detail to meet the evolving expectations of our guests.”

Jason Strauss, Co-CEO of Tao Group Hospitality, added: “We’ve reimagined both Marquee New York and Marquee Las Vegas to deliver next-level experiences that reflect the future of nightlife. From design to technology to service, every element has been thoughtfully considered to raise the bar once again. We couldn’t be more excited to unveil this next chapter in two cities that mean so much to the brand.”

The updated venues will continue to host performances from the world’s top DJs and artists, paired with Tao Group’s signature hospitality and a renewed focus on immersive, experiential design.
