SPREAD is an event hall near Shimokitazawa Station that hosts rock, techno and EDM shows. The stage and seating area are flat with a high ceiling, so the sound comes through clearly at close range to the performers. A few chairs sit at the counter and toward the back, and the floor is narrow, so arriving early is the only way to get a seat. The stairs down to the basement and the entrance area pass through a smoking zone, and the cigarette smell is strong.
