Cafe OTO provides a home for creative new music that exists outside of the mainstream with an evening programme of adventurous live music seven nights a week.

The concert programme at Cafe OTO is managed by OTOProjects – a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC).

Upon the Cafe OTO’s ten year anniversary in 2018, The Guardian hailed it to be “the heart of the underground”.

Two more SHAPE+ showcases outside of the EU will be announced next month.
