Located inside a former movie theatre in Udagawacho, WWW has become a cornerstone of Shibuya’s genre-fluid nightlife since its launch in 2010. Founded by the creative team behind the Tokyo-based label and event collective WWW, the venue was envisioned as a cultural hub that bridges live music, club culture and multimedia art.
The original ground-floor venue offers an intimate setting with a capacity of approximately 250 people. In 2016, WWW expanded by opening WWW X on the second floor of the same building, accommodating around 500. This expansion allowed for a broader range of performances, from indie rock and hip hop to experimental electronic music.
This venue is noted for its high-quality sound systems, including Funktion One speakers in the basement lounge, WWW B, which caters to techno and alternative electronic music enthusiasts. The programming reflects a commitment to diversity and innovation, with events ranging from local and international gigs to DJ sets and multimedia art installations. This eclectic approach has solidified WWW’s reputation as a vital fixture in Tokyo’s dynamic music scene.
