You’re Going To Want To Watch This Debate On The Future Of Nightlife In The U.K.

Celebrated London club Fabric will play host to a debate over the future of nightlife in the U.K. later today. Boiler Room's "UK: Can Nightlife be Saved?" debate will be broadcast live online and will see club owners, politicians, and DJs discussing a situation that has seen 50 per cent of nightclubs in London close since 2008.

Broadcast live from within Fabric's iconic Room 1, the debate will mark the first time the club has opened its doors since the verdict revoking its license was made earlier in September.

Panellists for the event include Emily Thornberry, MP for Islington South + Finsbury; Mirik Milan, Night Mayor of Amsterdam; DJs Goldie and Artwork; Bloc Festival's Alex Benson from Bloc Festival; Dance Tunnel owner Dan Beaumont; and Cameron Leslie, co-founder of Fabric.

Watch the debate live on Facebook or on Boiler Room from 2:30 p.m. BST (9:30 a.m. EST).
