Cargo, Shoreditch, London, 12 May 

Back to business and ready for summer, the legendary Cargo restaurant and nightclub celebrates its relaunch on 12 May by hosting the first in a series of yard parties with music, food and champagne.

After a fire forced its closure for two months, the über-cool Shoreditch haunt is back, boasting a load of stylish spit and polish. There will be live artists at work in the garden (don't worry, there are heaters if it's chilly!), with a graffiti-themed courtyard containing artwork by Banksy. Indoors it's all fun and games with laptop wizardry from James Yuill, old-school toy tunes from Kid Carpet and an exciting third act TBA. Also look out for a rare set from the infamous Cargo Allstars!!! 

The Yard Parties will continue throughout the Summer with big names such as The Rifles, Lucky Lie and the Soul Jazz Orchestra.

Entry is free from 8pm to 1am. Stay tuned and check the website for a comprehensive line-up details or visit www.cargo-london.com.
