Description / Caption:

GRIOT is something we’re building from the ground up.

It starts as a late-night event series, but the vision is bigger than that, it's a space for music, culture, community, and the people who actually keep the scene alive.

No set genre. No boxed-in sound. Just DJs, selectors, artists, performers, dancers, and real music people coming together under one roof. The room decides where the night goes.

All genres. One culture.

Saturday, April 25

1130PM till late

520 Alexander Street

This is not a one-genre night. Expect the sound to move with the room — house, Afro, dancehall, hip-hop, Latin, deep sounds, and whatever keeps the floor alive.

All genres, one culture.

FREE RSVP BEFORE 2AM

$20 AFTER

ID REQUIRED

Doors open at 12AM and we’re going until 6AM.

Pull up early, bring good energy, and come ready to move.

Step in, lock in, and be part of the next one.

We’re keeping the energy going.

After the last one, the only move was to run it back — louder, later, and deeper into the night. 520 @ The Spot is built for the people who really come out for the music, the atmosphere, and that raw late-night feeling you can’t fake.

Expect a room full of energy, heavy sound, and a crowd that’s there to move. No extra hype, no forced vibe — just a proper night in the city with good people, strong music, and the kind of setting that hits different once the lights drop.

*Viva Santana 7-7:45pm
