There’s some lovely news coming out of Limehouse this week. Troxy has been nominated for not one, but two Access All Areas Awards 2026. We’re in the running for Best Indoor Venue and The Legacy Award.
The Access All Areas Awards celebrate the venues, teams and people who make up the UK’s live events industry, so it’s a real pleasure to be recognised alongside some of the best in the business. We’re particularly chuffed to be in the running for The Legacy Award again, having been highly commended in the same category back in 2024.
And after the year we’ve had, there’s quite a lot to celebrate.
Over the last 12 months, Troxy has welcomed more than 160,000 guests across over 100 events, including 71 live music shows and 30 corporate events. From packed-out gigs and club nights to awards ceremonies and celebrations, it’s fair to say our home has been keeping busy.
On the live music front, it’s been a particularly exciting year. Rising stars GEESE sold out Troxy at a huge moment in their journey, Death Cab for Cutie returned for two dates, and both of Angine de Poitrine’s shows were instant sell-outs, generating a staggering 25,000-strong waitlist. Not bad for a year’s work.
And it’s not just the artists coming back for more. Returning clients and promoters accounted for half of all confirmed bookings, with familiar faces including Live Nation, Crosstown Concerts, Ultra Events and Eat Your Own Ears. On the corporate side, Troxy welcomed the likes of Amazon, the Music Producers Guild, ITV bCreator Awards and RISE Awards, while the UK Bus Awards returned for an impressive tenth year.
Of course, it’s not all about what’s happening on stage. From launching Tightwad, our very own £5 session lager, to making the venue more accessible and welcoming for everyone, the team has been working hard to make the Troxy experience even better. And with our newly restored spaces ready for bigger crowds, there’s plenty more to look forward to.
A huge thank you goes to our brilliant team who keep the building buzzing, and to the artists, promoters, clients and audiences who continue to make Troxy what it is. These nominations are a lovely acknowledgement of everyone who plays a part.
We’ll be heading to the Access All Areas Awards on 8 December, where the winners will be announced. Fingers crossed we come home with something shiny. Although two nominations and a year packed with incredible events aren’t a bad way to round off 2026 either.
