Setting the tone for 2025, The Hoxton is teaming up NTS Radio, the international community for music lovers, and BACARDÍ Rum for eight unique events across Europe throughout January and February, to celebrate the new year and bring communities together. NTS was founded in Hackney, London back in 2011, with Hox following just a year later down the road in Shoreditch, and this partnership celebrates the roots of both Hox and NTS as cultural pioneers pushing the boundaries of their respective industries, as well as the ongoing commitment of BACARDÍ to support music artists and encourage everyone to embrace self-expression.
This is The Hoxton’s second global music series, following their 2023 European Tour in collaboration with Colors Studios, which saw unique music moments popping up across Hox neighbourhoods in Paris, Brussels, Barcelona, Berlin and London. Every Hox has a strong affiliation with its local music scene, looking to support and celebrate creative communities, from welcoming emerging DJs for lobby sets to hosting larger scale album launches and high profile performances and even taking the brand on the road to pop-up at music festivals.
From intimate, ambient live performances to parties with late-night DJ sets, Hox, NTS and BACARDÍ Rum will create a memorable night in each city, offering a warm and inclusive atmosphere full of vibrancy and celebration. Eclectic sounds will be perfectly complemented with a menu of four iconic BACARDÍ Rum serves, ensuring the sunny Caribbean vibes help counter the cold and dark winter months across Europe.
BACARDÍ Rum has curated three exclusive cocktails, alongside a classic Mojito, to serve at each event: the herbaceous Mix Tape, created with sorrel infused BACARDÍ Carta Blanca; Cuban Sundress, a spritz headlined by rich BACARDÍ Ocho; and the refreshing Sweet Nothings, a BACARDÍ Rum twist on the summery Paloma.
BACARDÍ Rum have also created two bespoke cocktails that will be available from Hox lobbies from 30 January and throughout The Night Shift Tour; the zingy Hi-Fi Cooler inspired by chilled out day sessions and Tropic AF, with rich and punchy flavours for dancing the night away. Each cocktail is perfectly accompanied by bespoke playlists from NTS, accessible via a QR code, offering guests a little slice of escapism to accompany their cocktail.
To top it all off, The Hoxton will be gifting one lucky party-goer per city a room for the night via AirDrop; the dreaded journey home after a big night out has never been so quick and easy.
Each event will run from 8pm-midnight local time. Full line-up and dates are outlined below, and tickets are available exclusively from nts.live/shows/ntsxthe-hoxton.
