Chess Club Presents Ain't, AKA and Babystep The Social, London
Wednesday 9th December 2026 Doors at 19:00

Long before it became a record label, Chess Club started life as a monthly club night at The Social in London, with a simple aim: to put the best new music from the UK and beyond in front of a crowd before anyone else had caught on. It had a real knack for it, too. The night hosted debut or early shows from Bon Iver, MGMT, Florence & The Machine, The XX, Laura Marling, Mumford & Sons, Lykke Li, Michael Kiwanuka, The Vaccines and Bombay Bicycle Club, many of them unsigned at the time, and it soon earned a reputation as a breeding ground for undiscovered talent.


That reputation led to the launch of Chess Club Records in 2007, which has since released music from Wolf Alice, Jungle, MØ, White Lies, Easy Life, Swim Deep, Sundara Karma, Billie Marten, Alfie Templeman, Coach Party and SOFY. Now the club night is back where it all began, returning to The Social as a seasonal event. Expect intimate gigs, exciting rising names and the chance to say you saw them first.
