The brutalist surrounds of the Barbican will become the backdrop for Anyone Can Dance, a new series of late-night parties happening throughout 2026. Each event will run till 3am as part of a celebration of club music from around the world, curated, performed and played by diaspora artists.
First up, on February 20, is a night curated by Eastern Margins in the Barbican’s basement Clubstage. The collective and record label, which hosts regular events, is all about elevating East and Southeast Asian creatives across multiple musical genres and styles. Its line-up for Anyone Can Dance includes Ohio-based DJ Nick Cheo, who has built a following for his dorm room sets; South Korean musician and DJ KOLLIN; rapidly rising south London rapper Jianbo; and Belgian Korean pop and R&B singer MEYY.
Punters can expect a further four club nights in the landmark complex throughout 2026. The series comes off the back of two sold-out late-night parties hosted by Rinse FM and Club Stamina last year.
Anyone Can Dance curated by Eastern Margins runs from 11pm–3am at the Barbican. Tickets are now on sale.
