We’re gonna have a House party

Detour Discotheque
at Somerset House

Saturday 25 July, 5pm-late

Huge news – we’re throwing a major summer party in London this summer, and the venue couldn’t be more iconic. Somerset House is a cultural institution in the heart of the capital, and we’re taking over one of its beautiful Georgian terraces by the Thames for a day-to-night special. Arrive before sunset for drinks with a view, then step inside the disco for a taste of NYC 1979 in LDN 2026. Limited to 500 tickets for our fabulous Detour family.
