The former Soho Studios, which once served as the first location of Rolling Loud<\/a> festival, has a new owner. Unlocked<\/a>, a London-based events company, has taken over the 45,000-square-foot industrial building with plans to utilize it as an event space. Located in Wynwood<\/a> at 2136 NW 1st Ave, and with a capacity of 5,000 guests, the space aims to host everything from large-scale concerts to fashion shows to brand activations to cultural productions.\u00a0It has three distinctive rooms: Studio 1, the larger room; Studio 2, an adjacent smaller spot that can be used for smaller activations, overflow, or as a green room; and a large courtyard. <\/p>\n \u201cThe vision is for Unlocked Wynwood to be a true hybrid space, unlike anything else in Miami. We want to be known for incredible production and a genuinely exceptional sound system, the kind of infrastructure that lets us deliver standout events across the board,\u201d Sonny Hall, owner of the company, shares with New Times via e-mail. Hall grew up inside a family of nightclubs, restaurants, and bars across Spain and London, before entering the music industry as a co-founder of Yours Collective, a Defected Records<\/a>-signed house collective. \u201cWe\u2019re building an amazing music program that runs through the venue\u2019s DNA. One night it\u2019s a fashion show, the next it\u2019s a major music residency, all without ever compromising on quality.\u201d<\/p>\n The new space is slated to open in October, and while none of the upcoming events at Unlocked Wynwood are ready to be officially announced, Hall says there will be plenty of parallels with the inaugural Unlocked in the UK.\u00a0 \u201cUnlocked Shoreditch in London has been a huge reference point, particularly in how we think about layout, sound and adaptability,\u201d Hall added after stating, \u201cIt\u2019s essentially the same DNA, a neighborhood defined by galleries, street art and a fearless creative community.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Photo](\"https:\/\/www.miaminewtimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/07\/Unlocked-Wynwood-Courtyard.jpg?w=1024\")
