Attending Solomun’s two sold-out nights at Alexandra Palace felt like witnessing a true milestone moment. Taking over the vast Great Hall, the artist transformed the iconic space into something entirely his own – part warehouse rave, part art installation, part live concert.

From the very first drop, the bass reverberated through the building in a way that felt physical, grounding the entire room in a shared pulse. The scale of the production was spectacular, but what really stood out was the attention to detail. The moving LED screens suspended above the crowd were a brilliant touch – shifting, gliding, and reconfiguring throughout the night to reshape the space in real time. At moments, they created an intimate, almost enclosed club atmosphere; at others, they expanded the room into something cinematic and vast. Combined with the arthouse-style visuals and immersive lighting design, it elevated the experience far beyond a standard DJ set.
Over five hours, Solomun delivered a journey filled with unexpected moments and live collaborations, blurring the line between club culture and live performance. Ally Pally proved the perfect backdrop – historic yet raw enough to handle the intensity – and the charged, sold-out crowd carried the energy from start to finish.
It wasn’t just a show; it was a statement.
