TORTURE GARDEN 2025 DATES: FULL LIST, HIGHLIGHTS & 2024 REVIEW

The recently announced Torture Garden 2025 dates list embraces no less than 24 club events for this year, comprising 16 dates in London, three in Edinburgh, one in Manchester and four outside the UK (full list below). And there may be a few further additions as the year progresses.

The current list does not include the Le Boutique Bazaar pop-up shopping events TG co-hosts several times a year in London with Wasted Chic. And just before putting this article to bed, we learnt that the traditional pre-Valentines LBB — whose appearance on February 02 had become uncertain owing to refurbishment of regular venue For Your Eyes Only — has now been cancelled. With the refurb expected to be completed in the spring, the hope is that LBB will be able to return to its popular home in time for TG’s Birthday Ball events in late April.

The club’s announcement of another year of dates is normally accompanied by its in-house review of the previous year’s TG parties — and this year was no exception. It noted that TG had “seen a wave of really strong dresscode” in 2024, with its Village Fete, Surrealist Ball, Ghost Ship and XXXmas events all standing out as “exceptional nights for groundbreaking looks”. Torture Garden’s 2024 Edinburgh nights were also singled out for special mention for their “incredible and personalised commitment to dresscode”.

The New Year message accompanying the list of Torture Garden 2025 dates went on to acknowledge that times are tough for a lot of people “so it makes us even more grateful that you pick us to be your night of escapism”. TG had, it said, seen “the same shift in ticket-buying patterns that seems to be universal across the clubbing and nightlife worlds in general, with a lot of people waiting until close to events to commit to buying tickets.

The club’s hosts admitted that when this first happened, it was “a shock to the system after years of selling out parties so early”. But, it added that TG had been “luckier than a lot of brands” and still had “full or close-to-full parties for most of the year, with a lot of nights still selling out”. And as many TG fans will know, in line with its desire to stay accessible to as many people as possible in these hard times, Torture Garden launched its low income ticket in 2024.

2024 was a good year for groundbreaking TG fashion shows, it says, citing Bound by CeCe, Monika Bereza, Primal Leather, Timon ImVeldt, Kerris Spencer, Paper Matt and Am Statik among those that were “truly exceptional”. The club also saluted the work of its DJs, door staff and dungeon monitor team; its set designers, rigging crew and techs; and the photographers and videographers who capture its events. “We can set the scene as much as we like,” it added, “but ultimately it’s the partygoers that make the party, and ours do it better than anyone’s!”

Early highlights of the Torture Garden 2025 party schedule will be its two Valentines nights (Feb 14 & 15), for which the theme is in the name: Monochrome Ball. Meanwhile, “pure TG” nights without a specific theme will also continue. In May the club looks forward to using its first new London venue for a few years when it debuts on May 16 at The Steel Yard, a vaulted venue under Cannon Street Station which, it notes, is almost entirely stair-free. The same month will also see TG’s return to Manchester (on May 10), but with the proviso that this will be “the last Manchester party for the foreseeable” unless ticket sales improve. Mancunians, you have been warned!

Outside the UK, Torture Garden will team up with local promoters for two new franchised eventsTG San Francisco on April 06 and TG Montreal on October 10. Meanwhile, its long-running TG Italy collaboration with Rome club Ritual will celebrate either its 15th (says London) or 16th (says Rome) anniversary  on May 31. And TG Berlin will return on September 13. See below for the full list of Torture Garden 2025 dates announced so far!
