The Barbican is set to launch an exciting late-night party series called “Anyone Can Dance,” which will take place in 2026, beginning on February 20 from 11pm to 3am. This new series will feature five events throughout the year, each designed to energize the London nightlife.
The first event will be curated by Eastern Margins, focusing on underground East and South East Asian music. This promises to offer a unique experience for attendees, highlighting emerging artists and diverse sounds.
The lineup for the first event includes artists such as @nickcheo, KOLLIN, Jianbo, and MEYY. Each artist brings their own style and creativity, contributing to the vibrant dancefloor atmosphere that the Barbican aims to create. The Level -1 Foyer will be transformed into this lively space, continuing the tradition of successful late-night events hosted by the venue.
Tickets for the first “Anyone Can Dance” event will go on sale on January 23, 2026. Prices will start at £17, making it affordable for many to join the festivities. Discounts will also be available for members and young attendees aged 16 to 25, encouraging a younger crowd to participate in these dance parties.
It is important to note that all events in the series will have age restrictions, allowing entry only to those aged 18 and over. This policy guarantees a suitable environment for the late-night events, providing a safe and enjoyable experience for all attendees.
As London continues to embrace its vibrant culture, the Barbican’s “Anyone Can Dance” series is poised to become a highlight of the city’s calendar.
With an emphasis on East and South East Asian music, these dance parties will not only showcase incredible talent but also invite everyone to join in and celebrate the joy of dancing.
