Questions people ask about Boiler Room

What is Boiler Room?

Boiler Room is a music broadcast platform founded in London in 2010 that streams DJ sets and live shows from clubs and spaces around the world. Its broadcasts have passed 1 billion views on YouTube, and it became a launchpad for underground dance music without ever becoming a label or a paid streaming service.

How do you get into a Boiler Room show?

Most Boiler Room events are small capacity, and access to many of them runs through an RSVP ballot on the Boiler Room site rather than a standard ticket sale. Bigger festival style shows sell tickets in the normal way. Signing up early is the only real lever, since demand far outstrips the room.

Is Boiler Room free to watch?

Yes. Broadcasts stream free on Boiler Room's YouTube channel and site, and the archive of past sets stays up to watch anytime. Attending in person is the scarce part, not watching.

Why is the camera behind the DJ at Boiler Room?

The fixed camera on the back wall is the Boiler Room signature. It films the DJ from behind the decks with the crowd in frame, so the broadcast feels like standing in the room rather than watching a stage production. That one choice is a big part of why the format became so recognizable.

Who owns Boiler Room?

Boiler Room was founded in London in 2010 and was acquired by the ticketing company DICE in 2021. It still operates as its own brand and broadcast platform.
