Went to the NME show with “The Mouth” Headlining which was great. the mosh pit is a bit scary and can get a bit out of control, but if this isnt the place that you want to be there is always the upper levels which are calmer and you can still get a brilliant view of the stage!!

koko is a great place i like the fact that the type of music changes from week 2 week. Which adds varity and diffirent sorts of crowds I recomend every 1 should check out the album chart show. The venues security & managment is brilliant, helpful, and friendly.

Just went to Koko only last week to see Atmosphere, a hip-hop team from the US. Had heard great things about the venue, and their website alone in its’ design and content alone had me determined to visit. (I recommend you have a look)
Koko’s is a stunning, stunning venue, perfect for seeing gigs not yet ready for the space of the O2 (thank God). A re-fitted old theatre, it’s tall, blood red, dark, loungy, sultry and full of many nooks and crannies…perfect for finding the perfect viewing space pre-show.
Sound and lighting is really well done and Atmosphere were awesome in this venue. The levels and levels of space makes this place great for taking your latest squeeze ;)
Drinks are served in plastic cups which is a bit of a downside, but I found the crowd to be quite good and security good-humoured, even though they are adamant about checking bags intricatally.
The thing that sucked big time was the cloak room queue at the end of the show, and the lack of exit doors - be prepared for long waits to get out and to get separated and not be able to call due to lack of phone signal. Arrange to meet outiside as a precaution!

Amazing! Great music!! some people are complete idiots, but some fun people too!

Koko to me, is the gateway to Camden (geographically, not metaphysically - I know it’s a state of mind too). It’s always been a renowned venue for bigger acts rather than the ones that are trying to break in on the scene.

There’s no hiding it’s a converted theatre and as such there are a number of vantage spots that you can take up overlooking the moshpit, or indeed in it. There’s a fair bit of stage for the band to work with, so you can get some decent light shows to go with yer music.

Decor veers towards opium chic and prices towards the overdraft limit - so come prepared. I particualry enjoyed seeing The Orb here.

Occasionaly, this club is a good visit but i wouldnt go here as my regular place to party! The venue sort of reeks of old theatre style as its smothered in red and gold - not that this is a bad thing. Its a nice change to the blandness of a lot of clubs.
Drinks are pretty expensive and you can wait to be served for a little longer than i like too. Quing is a big part of the night here as you will almost certainly have to que to get in. I think i qued the best part of two hours here once… before i made friends with the manager! lol!
Although primarily a cllub they do occasionally do live music and gigs in the week so its worth looking out for them too.

If you want to go somewhere that will definately be packed then this is a very safe bet!

Koko is one of my favourite music venues because (1) it's beautiful and (2) it's the right size to get maximum band quality with minimum distance.

The place (in)famously used to be student pulling spot the Camden Palace. A few years back, some bright spark renovated it and made it a classy, mid-range club/music venue. I've not been on the club nights (I'm a little past that), though I've heard they are good.

I have seen a lot of musical acts perform there, though. They get some secret gigs by big names (e.g., Madonna), but most of the acts they book are to be spotted on the hipster indie radar. I've seen !!!, Broken Social Scene, Neko Case, A Silver Mt. Zion, Spoon, and Sleater-Kinney here.

The fact that the building is an old theatre is enhanced, not hidden. The deep reds and golds are lush even in the dark. The three tiered levels rise steeply above the floor. Carved features and old lights cover the walls.

Downstairs is a futuristic glass bar with coloured lights, an interesting contrast with the period bits of the theatre. There are bars on the upper tiers as well. The beverages are a bit pricey, so don't plan on having your big drinking session here. Come for the tunes, or the dancing, or just to admire the room itself.

Koko is a new and wicked music venue and club centered in Camden highstreet. The venue used to be Camden palace, and is now replaced its sound system, and has had famous and brilliant artists playing here, such as the Red hot chilli peppers, and even Madonna! So they have secret one off gigs, aswell as unknown bands. It is a big place, and you can have a good old dance on the dance floor after you've seen some good live music. You ca pay on the door, standard prices (for london!) and its ALWAYS pretty busy! You normally have a to queue a little, but it's worth. There always a young crowd, and its definitely one of those clubs people are ALWAYS going on about. So check it out, review it for yourself.

I really love to go to Koko. The club is set up in an old theatre, so it is a really wonderfull location for a great night out. Last weekend I went there and a band called "the Birightlights" played and the crowd has gone wild. The drinks are cheap and you can dance until the early morning. Great club!

Koko, a famed club venue in Camden Town, is a rather nice place to pay the occational visit.
The inner decor of the place is very atmospheric in a lovely, theatrical kind of way, what with golds and reds being the main colours used throughout the entire venue.
Drink prices are on the expensive side, as is the fee you have to pay at the entrance when you finally get there after having kewed outside for the better half of an hour.
Koko appears to be just as much a gig venue as it is a club, and so the establishment has hosted many an enjoyable gig in the past, as I am sure it also will in the future.
On weekends, Koko is always busy, never boring!

as a venue to the right event its great, but you run the risk of losing all your friends so stick together.

To be fair, Koko is a pleasant enough place to go on a night out. It seems to me to be more of a bands venue than a club venue, although there is lots of seating all over the place and not much of a floor to watch the bands from. It has a few levels with the same music blaring out in all of them, and it's usually got a fairly shoddy lineup for quite an expensive price ticket.

Koko is a great venue, formally knows as the Camden Palace acts such as Charlie Chaplin to the Sex Pistols have performed here.
The last band I saw who performed here were Fischerspooner who put on a great show here and I must say the atmosphere was that of fun fun fun!

The interior has been restored to embrace it's past life as the Camden Theatre. The intereior is theatrical, atmospheric and opulant. Deep reds and golds feature throughtout!


Drinks are a little on the expensive side, but you will have an unforgetable night here!

The venue now known as Koko's is a big imporvement from when it used to be known as the Camden Palace. Back then this ghetto like venue had a real dull atmosphere and the acoustics just didn't sound right.
Now re-inforced the sound is a lot better, various bars about also make the drinks queue a bit shorter.
The inner decor is quite nice and the atmosphere is always what you'd expect in Camden on a gig night.
I give it 3 *** because they could really improve on their programming.
Go to see who you like and only for that!

Located in Camden Town (my favourite place in the world-slight exaggeration!), Koko is the hype place: Guilty Pleasures- the great dance makers- have a residency there, and the Friday Club NME night is where I had one of the best ever nites out last year): If you queue up early enough (i.e. anytime between 10pm and midnight), you could get in for a fiver or even for free (that is if, unlike many, you make good use of these valuable TimeOut vouchers…)
Koko is also the best indie gig venue (I saw the Lemonheads and the Brian Jonestown Massacre there, and that was memorable!)

There was once a time when this place was called Camden Palais, a run-down club famous for its rave nights that had the edge of danger about them, drug dealers kept watch at the entrance of stairways where dark and dangerous people lurked. Or so it seemed to me when I was a young pup of 21 and was almost dragged down mentioned stairwell by a dangerous looking man. But oh things have changed. The Palais closed and Koko was born, making the most of this fantastic venue (an old theatre) and bringing again great music to Camden. The venue has seen fantastic musical showcases gracing its stage - from Madonna to Indie club nights such as NME and Dirty Pretty Things (from the band of the same name) bringing you the best up and coming stars and funky house nights from the likes of Space. Koko can do it all, and in fabulous surroundings that give it a decedent feel, it's another venue that you know will soon achieve legendary status.
