May 2010 sees the start our most ambitious period of metamorphosis yet.  How do you get more underground than The Rainbow? – only one way – turn the cellar into a venue. The Cellar Door (opening May 28 2010) – is under the very floorboards of the The Rainbow itself.  The original Rainbow now consists of Bar, Courtyard and Cellar each delivering a specific flavour to the overall taste of this unique venue.

July 2010 heralds the arrival of The Mezzanine.

The Rainbow Warehouse has hosted some legendary nights and provided the springboard for some maverick and massively successful brands.  Anyone who promotes here has relished the sense of decadence that comes with partying under the arches or the frisson of danger provided by the imposing industrial ironwork throughout the interior.  There is only one place left to go UP.  Launching in July 2010 The Mezzanine will ensure Summer Daytime parties will be going to new levels as The Rainbow Warehouse installs  an innovative take on The Zoo Project and DC10, and allows for open air partying on tiered levels.

The Arena (opening October 2010) is at the Opposite end of Adderley Street.  Bringing massed ranks of more Victorian railway arches under the over-reaching  curve of The Rainbow’s embrace – The Arena is set to witness musical mayhem and battles reminiscent  of The Coliseum – whose  amphitheatre architecture it mimics.  This massive site alone can cater for a capacity of 5000.

The Rainbow Complex now contains 9 separate venues on the same street that can be utilised for events of 200-5000 in isolation, or combined via a road closures to create a unique self contained Urban complex for 10,000 – licensed until 6am.  This is unprecedented anywhere else in the UK.

Any chance of a proper website or something so we can find out what events are happening down there?
