Got tickets for Indigo at The O2 this summer? Lucky you – this intimate venue hosts some brilliant nights, from nostalgic disco sessions to tribute shows that’ll have you singing along to every word.
But what about the bit nobody really likes to think about when they’re buying tickets for an event… what happens when the final song ends and the lights come up? Suddenly you’re facing packed platforms, the last train stress, or a grim late-night drive through London traffic when all you want to do is keep those good feelings going.
There’s got to be a better way, right?
Luckily, there is! The Clarendon Hotel in Blackheath sits just a short hop from The O2 – close enough that you’re back to comfort in minutes, but far enough to feel like you’ve properly escaped the post-gig chaos.
Here’s how three of this summer’s standout Indigo shows become even better when you don’t have to rush home afterwards.
Disco Bliss – Daytime Disco with 70s and 80s Anthems
Saturday 16 August 2025 | Starts 1 pm
Book tickets
Disco Bliss gets it absolutely right – all the joy of a proper night out, but in broad daylight. Glitter balls spinning, 70s classics pumping, and a room full of people who’ve decided Saturday afternoon is actually the perfect time for dancing like nobody’s watching.
When the music stops around teatime, most people face that awkward “what now?” moment. But if you’re staying at The Clarendon, the party can continue at your own pace. Fancy dinner in Blackheath village while dissecting the best dance moves of the afternoon? Perfect. Prefer a quiet drink in our garden while the endorphins settle? Even better.
Suddenly, your disco afternoon becomes a proper weekend celebration.
TaylorMania – A Tribute Through the Eras
Sunday 24 August 2025 | Starts 5 pm
Book tickets
TaylorMania promises all the eras, all the outfits, and all the vocals that make a Taylor Swift tribute show worth the ticket price. Whether you’re going solo, with friends, or making it a family affair, expect to sing every word and possibly question some of your life choices during those more emotional ballads. It’s been seen on the BBC and ITV and is a hit with fans of all ages.
Starting at 5pm on a Sunday should feel relaxed, but usually ends with that Sunday night scramble to get home, unpack, and mentally prepare for Monday morning. Not if you’re staying with us though.
Instead, you can drift from venue to comfortable room, wake up properly refreshed on Monday, and maybe even steal an extra coffee before facing the week. Sometimes the best part of a great gig is not having to rush away from the feeling.
Premier Gospel Awards – A Celebration of Talent and Soul
Friday 19 September 2025 | Doors open 6.30 pm
Book tickets
The Premier Gospel Awards brings serious talent and uplifting music to Indigo – the kind of evening that fills you up in all the right ways. Powerful performances, genuine celebration, and that particular energy that only live gospel music creates.
After a night like that, the last thing you want is to battle your way across London on crowded transport. Much better to let the music settle into your soul during a peaceful taxi ride to Blackheath, then wake up Saturday morning in leafy surroundings with a proper breakfast and no agenda except enjoying the after-glow.
A Better Way to Do Gig Nights
You’ve already invested in the ticket and cleared your diary. Why not make it feel like the celebration it deserves to be?
The Clarendon sits less than 15 minutes from The O2, perfectly positioned to transform your gig from a single evening into a mini-break. The buzz of live music followed by the calm of comfortable surroundings – it’s how nights out should end.
Book your room with us today and turn your Indigo experience into something that lasts beyond the final encore.
Sometimes the best gigs deserve more than just a ticket home. Why not give them a place to properly savour what you’ve just experienced?
We look forward to seeing you!
