When the Camden Palace closed down this year, London's raver contingent wept. The wee smelling dive had become their spiritual home. Six months on the ravers have found another sweat-box to dance in (thank f**k). And after a multi-million pound makeover the Palace is back, better than ever. |

This week, the venue will open again with an opulent interior and loos that work. And with the re-launch comes a new name: KOKO. Draw a veil over the last pill-popping decade, and The Palace is one of London's most historic venues. Everyone from Charlie Chaplin to the Sex Pistols have performed here as well as the Clash, the Eurythmics and Madonna - who hosted her first ever UK gig here. Now the revamped, state-of-the-art venue will host everything from concerts, to cabaret evenings, to club nights to comedy shows. |
