Starlane Pizza Bar, located in the vibrant creative district of Hackney Wick, East
London, has quickly solidified its reputation as one of the city’s most exciting and innovative nightclubs. Originally opening in 2022, Starlane emerged within a unique industrial space, formerly a printing factory, and was imagined as a hybrid between a lively pizzeria, community bar, and forward-thinking music venue. This blend has fostered a distinctive cultural atmosphere, drawing diverse crowds for both experimental live gigs and late-night DJ sessions.
The venue has become emblematic of Hackney Wick’s ongoing transformation from an industrial hub to a lively center for art, music, and nightlife. Over time, Starlane has developed a loyal following for its eclectic programming, with a particular focus on the underground electronic, alternative, and avant-garde scenes. While its core structure as a multifaceted pizza bar and club hasn’t changed, the venue has expanded its influence through community events, pop-ups, and curatorial collaborations with record labels, local collectives, and international crews.
As a result, Starlane Pizza Bar stands out not only for its musical offerings but also as a dynamic platform for
London’s grassroots and global creative communities, reaffirming its significance in the city’s nightlife landscape.
Notable artists who have performed at Starlane Pizza Bar include international acts such as Avalon Emerson, DJ Stingray 313, Helena Hauff, and Peach, alongside key local talents like Shy One, Call Super, Anz, and the creative collective Touching Bass. The venue has also hosted special showcases from genre-defining labels such as Hessle Audio and Rhythm Section, reinforcing its reputation as a home for cutting-edge sounds and boundary-pushing performances.
