DIY & Q Acoustics team up for new event The Listening Room

DIY are teaming up with innovative audio brand - and our Class of 2026 sponsors - Q Acoustics for a new event in London, dedicated to the art of listening and community.

The Listening Room will be an intimate evening focused on sharing music with like-minded fans, in a setting designed especially for sound. Attendees will be encouraged to bring along their favourite vinyl record and discover it anew, as it’s played through an award-winning flagship system from Q Acoustics, paired with a GR3 turntable (courtesy of their sister brand Goldring). Across the evening, a special guest host will also guide us through some of the songs that have shaped and resonated through their life and career, before inviting attendees to share their own choices and stories along the way.

Taking place on 26th February 2026 at The Forge - within The Lower Third, on the capital’s historic Denmark Street - this promises to be an unforgettable night of music and storytelling, and we want you to join us there! For those who have been to The Forge before, you’ll know it’s an intimate space so spots are limited, but you can apply now - via the Q Acoustics website - for the chance to join us. 

Successful applicants will then be invited to purchase a ticket for £10, securing their space at The Listening Room and guaranteeing them their first drink - and entry into a very special prize draw, too. Head to their website now to register your interest!
