Theatre of Nightmares @ Koko - London Halloween 2026

Theatre of Nightmares takes over KOKO on Tuesday 27 October, as part of London Halloween 2026. It's put on by Lowercase Events, who bill themselves as London's biggest student events company and the only one in the country trusted to run a student night inside KOKO, having previously programmed a Freshers night there.

The night is a full takeover of the 120-year-old theatre: four floors of red velvet and gilded balconies, with the same main-stage sound system the biggest artists in the world play on. On top of that, there's immersive production throughout, with theatrical set design, powerful lighting, strobes, lasers, CO2 cannons, confetti, and smoke, plus live scare actors roaming every floor. It's aimed squarely at students, with student-priced drinks, best-dressed prizes, and special guest DJs to be announced closer to the date.

Entry is strictly 18+ (18-24 year olds only) with ID required. The venue has limited accessibility space, and accessibility tickets are available only through the KOKO website. It runs from 10:00pm to 3:00am, with last entry at 1:00am, and tickets go for £25-£60.
