Number 90’s 5th Birthday At Hackney Wick | It’s Party Time!
We love a party, any excuse, we’ve even been to an actual piss-up in a brewery and if it involves burgers, cocktails and DJ sets – well that’s a bit of a no brainer. Oh! Did I mention that it’s going on for a whole weekend (Friday 5th – Sunday 7th April) or that it’s FREE! So what exactly is Number 90’s 5th birthday promising? The website says…
5 Years of Music
5 Years of Food & Drink
5 Years of Art
5 Years of Doing It Yourself
5 Years of Number 90
Hands up, baby hands up…
To be honest they had us at 5 years of food and drink, we are a food blog after all – so happy with the delicious food offerings and brand new ‘unusual’ cocktails… but for those more interested in dancing than dining, read on.
WHAT’S GOING ON?
Number 90 will be throwing its biggest birthday party to date, taking place over four days from 4th – 7th April, to celebrate turning the grand old age of five. The birthday weekender will include DJ sets from the likes of Tom Trago and Phonica Records and a very special Saturday surprise (their annual pinata competition we’re guessing).
The writing’s, or rather the street art’s on the wall.
Located in Hackney Wick, the canal-side venue will swing open its doors on Thursday encouraging party-goers to begin their weekend early. With two recently finished 70ft murals on the front (by Dale Grimshaw and Zabou) the venue themselves have now become even more of a local landmark – and so easy to find too.
What a view!
DJ sets from Stranger Than Paradise Records will warm up the Number 90 stage on Thursday night – whilst we will be warming up with a burger or two. Since the record store’s inception in 2018 in Mare Street Market, Stranger Than Paradise Records has become an important part of the local creative community. With a bit of luck the weather will allow a little chill time out on the terrace – complete with its very own bar, this water-side area is the perfect spot to sit back and relax whilst watching the sun go down.
WEEKEND VIBES
On Friday night, guests will experience sonic sorcery from Dutch DJ and producer Tom Trago. Joining Trago on Friday will be Fabric’s brand new resident DJ Anna Wall and the all-female London-based collective SISU who will step up to deliver a flawless party set well into the early hours. Both Friday & Saturday will have a late night licence with the musical programme running 18.00 – 06.00.
On Saturday night, the legendary record store Phonica Records will host this evening’s musical madness inviting special guests to play alongside. Phonica Records has been at the heart of the Saturday evening for the last three years and for those planning to party all night, guests can expect more music from the likes of Vicious Creatures, Late Night Tales and London Disco Society.
Easy like Sunday evening – or something like that…
With the celebrations winding down on Sunday, Number 90’s 5th birthday will be offering its renowned Sunday roast to satisfy party-goers’ appetites, with a funky feel-good soundtrack provided by Tropical Disco.
That outfit’s sweet… literally!
This weekend of partying is not only to celebrate Number 90’s 5th birthday but also to thank their brand affiliates, friends and neighbours. Maintaining Hackney Wick’s unique and close-knit community is part of Number 90’s ethos. This Birthday Weekender is Number 90’s way of celebrating the creative, hardworking and mutually supportive hub they have created in this unique canal-side venue.
