OMNIA at 45 London: The Shoreditch Rooftop Party Inside a Building With Real Music History

By House of MNEEMO
There is a building on Curtain Road that has carried several versions of East London nightlife.
Before it became 45 London, the address was The Curtain: a Shoreditch hotel and private members club with a rooftop pool, a soundproofed basement music room, an original Banksy in its members' space, and a waiting list that reportedly stretched beyond 3,000 people. Its basement programme read less like a hotel amenity and more like a private London festival bill. Over its Curtain years, the building was linked with intimate appearances from Mary J Blige, Erykah Badu, Chance the Rapper, Mark Ronson, Travis Scott, Skepta and Mike Skinner.
That building is now called 45 London. And on Saturday 2 May 2026, MNEEMO and House of MNEEMO take over its rooftop for OMNIA on the Roof, a seven-hour minimal deep tech session running 4 PM to 11 PM, presented under the HAUS OMNIA banner in collaboration with Inhype Events.
It is MNEEMO's first daytime event in London. It is the first time House of MNEEMO has run programming inside one of Shoreditch's most music-led private members club spaces. And it lands on the opening Saturday of the Early May Bank Holiday weekend, in a year where Londoners are openly rethinking what a great Saturday actually looks like.
This is not a daytime rave. It is not a brunch party. It is a curated rooftop session in a building with real music history.
Tickets opened at £17.30 early bird, with general admission at £23.00 and final release at £28.80. The format is intentionally intimate. Tickets are available here on Resident Advisor.

OMNIA at 45 London is the first major rooftop event under the House of MNEEMO banner.
The building: a short history of 45 Curtain Road
To understand why this Saturday feels different, it helps to understand the building.
45 Curtain Road, the nine-storey block tucked into the corner where Curtain Road meets Scrutton Street, has been three things in less than a decade.
2017–2021: The Curtain. Opened by New York hotelier Michael Achenbaum, who co-founded the Gansevoort Hotel in Manhattan's Meatpacking District in 2004 and helped catalyse that neighbourhood's transformation. The Curtain launched as a hotel and private members club aimed at creatives, with 120 bedrooms, 6,000 square feet of event space, a soundproofed basement live music venue, a Moroccan-inspired rooftop pool with a retractable glass roof, a screening room, and a co-working studio. The architectural design was led by Studio Moren. Custom photography across the guest rooms came from Mick Rock, the rock photographer who shot Bowie, Lou Reed, Queen, Iggy Pop and Blondie. The basement member rooms included LP, the club room, and Imperial, a garden room with an original Banksy mural in its centre. Members applied via written application; the waiting list reportedly passed 3,000 people. Red Rooster, the London outpost of Marcus Samuelsson's Harlem restaurant, operated on the ground floor. The basement LP room was reported to have hosted intimate appearances from Mary J Blige, Erykah Badu, Chance the Rapper, Travis Scott, Mark Ronson, Emeli Sandé, Fatman Scoop, Skepta and Mike Skinner.
2021–2024: Mondrian Shoreditch. The site rebranded as Mondrian Shoreditch, the London flagship of the Mondrian hotel group, with a redesign by Goddard Littlefair. The same building, the same rooftop, the same basement bones, with new branding and operations.
2025–present: 45 London. In late October 2025, the venue rebranded again. The hotel component now operates as Virgin Hotels London-Shoreditch, owned by the Reuben Brothers. The members club, hospitality and food and beverage layer is called 45 London, operated under Roger Payne's Eclection Group. It now houses 45 Curtain Road (a Japanese-inspired chophouse with Mediterranean influences led by executive chef Alex Furusawa-Cadoni), 45th & 7th (the rooftop restaurant, bar and pool with skyline views toward the City), Parallel 45 (the late-night club and lounge programmed across deep house, techno and leftfield electronic music), Studio 45 (a co-working and content-creation hub) and Wellness at 45 (a gym and spa partnered with Dr. Hauschka).
Same building. Three identities. One continuous reputation as a music-led, design-led, creatively-led Shoreditch hospitality address.
OMNIA on Saturday lands in the middle of that lineage.
Why 45 London for OMNIA
The choice of venue says a lot about the event.
A daytime rooftop event in 2026 London could go in any number of directions. There are warehouses in Hackney Wick. There are open-air parties at The Cause. There are festival-scale Saturday takeovers in Brixton. There are basements at XOYO and Village Underground. Every one of those venues is good for what it is.
45 London is a different proposition. It is a Shoreditch members club with a rooftop pool, panoramic skyline views toward the City, a restaurant programme, and a basement club already booked into the 2026 capital nightlife circuit. The aesthetic is what 45 London's own copy calls "where Shoreditch meets Manhattan": exposed brick and Crittall-style detailing, but with the polish of a New York hotel. It is the kind of place a working London creative might already be using for a member's lunch, a content shoot in Studio 45, a late dinner at 45 Curtain Road, or a Saturday afternoon at 45th & 7th.
For OMNIA, that matters. The event is built for a crowd that knows the difference between a good rooftop and a rented function room, between a curated 7-hour set arc and a generic line-up, between a building with musical history and a pop-up trying to look like one.
Heritage attaches to addresses. New events either honour that or ignore it. OMNIA is built to honour it.
What OMNIA is
OMNIA on the Roof is a rooftop event series presented under the HAUS OMNIA banner. The 2 May 2026 edition at 45 London is brought to the venue by MNEEMO and House of MNEEMO in collaboration with Inhype Events, the UK-based event and concert agency operating since 2015.
The full programme runs across the rooftop from 4 PM to 11 PM with a single, considered set arc rather than a stage-rotation lineup.
The lineup:
MNEEMO — host, curator, opening and headlining segments. Multi-genre London producer who, for OMNIA, leans into his minimal deep tech and rolling house side rather than his UK garage or Afro House output. Expect groove-led selections that build across the seven-hour arc rather than peak-time pressure.
SLAVKO — London-based DJ and producer, frequent MNEEMO collaborator, Radar Records circle. Tech-house and melodic house leaning.
FLASH — Radar Records co-founder. Producer, engineer and label operator. Plays both as DJ and as the technical backbone of much of the Radar catalogue, including the 2025 release "GIVE YOU MORE" with MNEEMO and Daniel Okaro.
ARSI — selector from MNEEMO's trusted circle, hand-picked for the OMNIA debut.
Genre wise, the event sits in minimal deep tech: rolling, funk-driven basslines, restrained percussion, warm chord work, occasional vocal cuts. Tempo lives roughly between 122 and 130 BPM depending on the set. It is the same broad family that informs the DC-10 Ibiza aesthetic and labels like Solid Grooves, the work of artists like Chris Stussy, Kolter and Julian Fijma, and the rolling-bassline sound that has dominated the European rooftop and terrace circuit for the last several seasons.
The reason that sound works on a rooftop, in daylight, going into a sunset, is structural. Minimal deep tech does not need peak-time aggression to function. The grooves carry themselves. They allow conversation, eye contact, movement, mingling. They build slowly, reward attention, and turn into something harder around dusk without ever feeling like a hard reset. It is the right sound for a 4 PM to 11 PM arc on a rooftop with skyline views.
Why 4 PM to 11 PM matters in 2026 London
There is a real cultural shift happening in how London goes out, and OMNIA's format is part of it.
Industry data from the Night Time Industries Association has pointed to a wider shift toward earlier, more purposeful going-out patterns, as pressure on traditional late-night venues continues. The number of UK nightclubs has declined significantly over the last five years, while consumer behaviour has moved toward shorter, earlier, more curated nights out.
That is not a wellness story. It is a structural one.
Londoners in 2026 still want atmosphere, music, crowd, dancing, sunset, dressing up, going somewhere worth going. They are increasingly less interested in committing to a 3 AM finish, a sticky-floor sub-basement, a 5 AM Uber and a write-off Sunday. The format of the night out is changing, even if the desire underneath it has not.
OMNIA's 4 PM to 11 PM rooftop run is a direct answer to that shift.
You arrive in daylight. The first hour is golden hour and openings. You eat from the rooftop kitchen. You drink from the bar. You move when you want to. You stay through sunset. You hear the energy lift through the evening. You leave with the room still hot at 11. You are home by midnight if you want to be. You wake up Sunday with your weekend intact, knowing that Monday is a Bank Holiday and the long weekend has only just started.
Compare that to the alternative: a 10 PM warehouse start, a 2 AM peak, a 4 AM ending, a 5 AM journey home, and the Bank Holiday Sunday that follows you around for two days. Some Saturdays still call for that. Many do not. OMNIA is built for the many that do not.
This is not the death of the late-night club. The basement at Parallel 45, downstairs in the same building, will still be running its own late-night programming. XOYO, Village Underground, FOLD, The Cause and Drumsheds are all still doing what they do. OMNIA is not in competition with that. It is in addition to it.
The point is choice. In 2026, a great Saturday in London no longer has to mean a 4 AM finish. OMNIA is one of the events putting that idea on a rooftop, on a flyer, on a ticket page.
The Bank Holiday Saturday context
Saturday 2 May 2026 is the opening Saturday of the Early May Bank Holiday weekend. Monday 4 May is the bank holiday. That timing matters in two ways.
The first is consumer behaviour. London event listings (Time Out, Resident Advisor, DesignMyNight) consistently show that Bank Holiday Saturdays are the highest-energy, highest-spend evenings of the spring calendar. Londoners use them to "open" the long weekend, with Sunday and Monday available as recovery, leisure or further plans.
The second is competitive landscape. Resident Advisor lists more than 100 events in London on 2 May 2026, including Queen's Yard Summer Party in Hackney Wick (a multi-venue takeover with collectives like Percolate, Daytimers, Huns n Roses and Wet Dreamz), Brixton Disco Festival running 2 PM to 2 AM across Electric Brixton, Brixton Jamm, Phonox and others, and Sun City at XOYO running 2 PM to 10 PM with UK garage, house, old-school and jungle programming.
OMNIA is intentionally not built to compete with festival-scale events. It is built to sit alongside them as the rooftop, members club, intimate-format, music-first option for Bank Holiday Saturday in Shoreditch.
Tickets and pricing
OMNIA on the Roof launched with a three-tier ticket structure on Resident Advisor. As of publication:
Early Bird: £17.30 (limited release)
General Admission: £23.00
Final Release: £28.80
That pricing is deliberate. Early bird tier rewards readers who commit before the wider London weekend listings settle. General admission keeps the event accessible for the working creative crowd it is built for. Final release exists because rooftop capacity is finite. This is not the kind of rooftop format where leaving it until the door is the clever move.
What to expect on the day
Arrival. 45 London is at 45 Curtain Road, EC2A 3PT, a short walk from Shoreditch High Street Overground (around five minutes) and Old Street (around ten minutes, Northern Line). Buses 26, 35, 47, 242 and 243 serve the area directly.
The space. OMNIA runs on the rooftop. Expect skyline views toward the City of London, the rooftop pool deck and bar, restaurant-quality food and drink throughout the afternoon, and the kind of standing format that lets you actually meet the crowd around you rather than getting lost in it.
Dress. Smart but not staged. 45 London is a private members club with hotel and rooftop standards; OMNIA is a music-led event. Most of the room will be in elevated streetwear, considered Saturday outfits, and the kind of looks that work in golden-hour light.
Sound. Minimal deep tech across the seven-hour run. The pacing will move from rolling, conversational openings into sharper, more physical evening grooves as the sun comes down. No genre swerves, no headline drop, no peak-time gimmicks. A continuous, considered set arc.
Crowd. A mix of London creatives, working professionals, the existing Radar Records and House of MNEEMO circle, members and guests of 45 London, and a wider Shoreditch audience that already knows the address.
Weather note. Early May in London is famously unpredictable. The 45 London rooftop has covered seating areas and indoor F&B integration if the British weather shifts; the event runs whether the day is clear sky or grey.

What this article is not claiming
OMNIA on the Roof at 45 London is the first daytime rooftop event MNEEMO has produced under the House of MNEEMO banner. This article does not claim that 45 London hosted Mary J Blige, Skepta or Erykah Badu under its current 45 London branding; those reported appearances took place during the building's earlier identity as The Curtain (2017–2021), and are sourced from contemporaneous coverage in Square Mile and other London publications. The Banksy mural reference relates to the same earlier period and is a documented historical feature of the original Curtain interior. Current 45 London programming, lineups and interior detail are best confirmed via 45london.com and the venue's own social channels.
The Saturday 2 May 2026 competitive event landscape in London (Queen's Yard Summer Party, Brixton Disco Festival, Sun City at XOYO and others) is included for editorial context. OMNIA sits alongside them as a different format, not in competition with them.
NTIA framing is paraphrased from the Night Time Industries Association's published reporting on UK nightlife trading patterns. Specific figures should be verified at ntia.co.uk.
