Ticketmaster is proud to announce an exclusive partnership with Blondies Bar and Blondies Brewery, two standout East London venues that have become pillars of the UK’s alternative music scene. Since 2015, Blondies – founded by two Aussie sisters – has become one of the most globally recognised dive bars and a staple in London’s alternative music scene.
Since opening its doors on Lower Clapton Road, Blondies Bar has become a desired room to play for bands looking to connect more intimately with their audiences, whether they’re emerging acts, established names, or global artists wanting to give something back to their hardcore fans. The 70-capacity space has seen unforgettable shows from Machine Head, Bullet for My Valentine, Mastodon, Frank Carter, Parkway Drive, Nova Twins, Fever 333, While She Sleeps, and many more. It’s a venue that thrives on energy, authenticity and a deep love for the alternative community.
Building on that legacy, the team launched Blondies Brewery in 2023, a 270-capacity music venue and working brewery in East London. Within its first year, the Brewery hosted a run of sold-out shows from artists such as Green Lung, Puppy, Grove Street, and Inhuman Nature, quickly establishing itself as a key space for the next wave of heavy and alternative talent.
Through this new exclusive partnership, both venues will join the growing network of Ticketmaster Clubs powered by Universe, gaining access to Ticketmaster’s powerful event management tools, audience reach, and the visibility of Ticketmaster Local to help bring more fans through the doors.
As part of the partnership, Ticketmaster helped Blondies upgrade their live setup with new gear, improving the experience for artists on stage and the fans packed in front of it.
“Working with Ticketmaster has helped us reach a whole new crowd of music lovers who might not have found us otherwise. It’s made promoting our gigs way easier and brought more people through the doors to experience what we do. Their current push to support small, independent venues like ours has made a difference to us,” – Charlie Moon Fox, Head of Bookings, Socials & Creative at Blondies.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Blondies Bar and Blondies Brewery into the Ticketmaster family. They’ve built something truly special within London’s alternative and grassroots live music scene, spaces that bring artists and fans together in an authentic way. We look forward to helping Blondies reach even more fans while continuing to invest in what makes live music thrive, from better ticketing tools to improved live setups that benefit artists and fans alike.” – Tim Goom, Client Development Director – Music at Ticketmaster.
