Vortex is internationally renowned as a venue that programmes innovative and adventurous music from musicians of the highest calibre and repute. But that’s just one part of what we do. The Vortex is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing a stage for musical performances that exist outside the mainstream. We host over 350 concerts a year and all of our gigs are managed by a dedicated community of music-mad volunteers. We have been running for nearly 30 years and have established a reputation as one of the leading venues in the world for jazz and experimental music. Vortex is at the heart of the Gillett Squared partnership; a hub for creativity and cultural activity in Dalston.
