Aphex Twin’s upcoming London show — which sold out within 10 minutes — will be live-streamed for free on YouTube.

The enigmatic producer will return to the capital for his first club show in over a decade when he plays at Printworks on September 14.

Tickets for the show, which comes as part of Red Bull Music Festival, were met with phenomenal demand, meaning many fans were unable to bag a spot in the Canada Water venue.

However, the whole performance will be broadcast live, meaning those who weren’t lucky enough to get a ticket can enjoy the next best thing.

It looks set to be an audiovisual spectacle, featuring a custom-built stage equipped with 306 LED panels and lasers, as well as visual effects courtesy of regular Aphex Twin collaborator Weirdcore.

It will all be captured by 10 cameras stationed around the venue, with one roaming its way through the crowd during the show.

This will be the first time Aphex Twin — real name Richard David James — has played a club night in London since DJing at the now-defunct Matter in 2009.

The last time he appeared in the capital was more than two years ago, with a headline set at Field Day in 2017.

Aphex Twin will be joined on the night by Afrodeutsche, Caterina Barbieri and Nihiloxica, who will all play before him — although these performances will not be included in the live stream.

You can watch Aphex Twin’s entire performance below, with the stream scheduled to start at 10pm on September 14.
