Skepta is among the special guests assembling for KOKO's first anniversary party. The London venue underwent a huge transformation, re-opening last year.

A pivotal figure in grime’s evolution, Skepta returned to his house roots last year for a series of high-profile DJ sets. The iconic main room was spruced up, but the real secrets were revealed elsewhere across its labyrinthine five-floor lay out. April 29th is a special theatrical event, courtesy of No Art with ANOTR, and the weekend is brought to a close by iconic UK artist Skepta.
