DIME live in London

Experience DIME live on August 18th

DIME, the Dublin Institute of Music and Education ensemble, will be performing at Sjq (St. James’s Quarter) in London on August 18, 2026. DIME focuses on contemporary music performance and production, encompassing genres like jazz, pop, electronic music, and original compositions often blending these styles. The group frequently features student and alumni projects showcasing diverse instrumental and vocal arrangements.

Sjq is a relatively new large-scale retail and leisure destination in central London, opened in June 2023. Built on the site formerly occupied by the St. James’s department store and various surrounding buildings near Piccadilly Circus, it incorporates elements of the original architecture alongside modern design. The complex includes retail spaces, restaurants, a cinema, and public areas designed to host events. While primarily a commercial space, Sjq actively seeks to integrate cultural programming into its offerings through performances and installations within its public zones. The specific performance space within Sjq for the DIME concert has not been publicly detailed as of October 26, 2023. The venue aims to be a significant contributor to London’s cultural landscape alongside its retail function.
