No stranger to the Top 100 Clubs poll, One Third keeps rising through the global ranks six years after first opening up its doors. Since then, it’s also expanded from Beijing to Hangzhou and Kunming, showcasing its bold ambitions.
More than a club, One Third is practically a musical village, with 2,500 square metres of space split up into 10 executive rooms, four private rooms and one main open space — with four open DJ booths. Whichever room you choose, a bespoke Martin Audio sound system delivers the music to every corner of the venue. The scale of the club is matched by the attention to detail in its visual shows, which have been designed with input from immersive experts, Live Legends. Thanks to this, huge indoor festivals are One Third’s speciality, and this year it hosted the Creamfields Hong Kong pre-party with FSHO amongst others.
While it has unwavering support for rising local talent, another key moment in 2023 was welcoming back international acts, with the likes of W&W and Kura making their return to the club. This is alongside some of Asia’s biggest artists, including Luminn, KAKA, Key.L and more.
