year the theatre was purchased by Oliver Bengough and his company Mint Entertainment. Bengough saw the potential of the theatre and embarked on a multimillion-pound restoration process lasting more than six months. The restoration process included all new technical facilities, enabling the scope of operations to be broadened to include live concert performances, club nights, corporate events and television production. The Daily Telegraph described the modern interior amenities and the building's historic facade as "lend[ing] a sense of grandeur to any gig". In the 2010s, some events held at the Camden Palace returned to the venue, including reunions of "Peach" and "Clockwork Orange". 2020–present: Fire and reopening A large fire at the building during renovation work was reported at 8:56pm on 6 January 2020; eight fire engines and about 60 firefighters attended, and the blaze was declared under control at 2:37am. The cause of the fire is not known , but the damage appears to have been contained to the roof of the building. Following a multimillion pound refurbishment, KOKO reopened in April 2022. The inaugural concert featured Arcade Fire, marking the release of their sixth studio album We. Sustainability programme Since the 2004 restoration, KOKO's commitment to sustainability has been recognised with an award for Environmental Excellence in Camden Organisations (EECO), for Innovation in Waste Management and Recycling. The venue has been praised for "the continued exceptional effort by staff to achieve a 95% recycling rate in the difficult events and entertainment industry, and for the use of recycled materials within the building in order to close the recycling loop." The key points in KOKO's innovative recycling and waste management strategy include: Recycling paper and cardboard (including flyers), as well as approximately 30,960 glass bottles, 20,088 aluminium cans and 77,166 plastic cups every month; Replacing 982 light bulbs with low energy light bulbs; Reducing emissions, by working with 'The Carbon Trust' and Better Climate for Camden: by switching to a green energy supplier, KOKO aims to prevent the release into the atmosphere of 520 tonnes of CO2 over the next 12 months; As KOKO currently produces approximately 310.809 tonnes of CO2 per annum, they have teamed up with Solar Aid who supply Solar Lanterns to under-developed countries to help offset this.
