On 20 November 2005, Late Night Tales started a monthly residency at the Lock Tavern in Camden, London, with guest DJs from the album series plus resident DJs performing live sets.
The first event featured Howie B, and the December 2005 event featured Mark Rae, with both sets lasting around 7 hours. Later sets featured Chris Geddes of Belle & Sebastian in February 2006 and Turin Brakes in March. Geddes also appeared at Late Night launch parties in Manchester and Glasgow in January and February 2006. Later in the year, new artists are likely to appear prior to the release of new Late Night Tales albums, and the events may expand to include spoken word artists, mirroring the closing tracks on the albums.
