Performances will feature this year’s Pirate residents, including soulful duo Papaya Noon and modern R&B singer-songwriter Kaisha, along with a surprise headline DJ.

With studios in 24 more university towns and cities, Pirate has also launched a limited-time offer for students across the UK. From Edinburgh to Manchester and Brighton to Sheffield, students can get their first 2 hours in any of their studios free when they book online and use the code PIRATESTUDENTS at checkout.

“The uni years are the perfect time to start a new band or learn how to DJ, so we’re excited to give students across the UK a head start with 2 free hours in any of our studios,” said Rebecca Mason-Evans, Pirate’s Head of Brand Marketing. “The open day in London reflects the spirit of the Pirate Community; it’s a snapshot of the kinds of events we host all year to help artists connect and grow together.”
