These artists have a chance to be featured on an LP record on the vinyl wall in the centre of the venue, acting as a library to document each artist that comes through the doors and sits in the DJ booth.
A poster wall above acts as a 'best of' archive of Coco's past events, with new additions added as they happen in the colourful new setting.
Ahead of the grand re-opening Alisun, general manager of Coco's, said: 'I just want to give my team a massive thank you for all their help and support.
'We're all looking forward to a new venture that's bigger and better than before.'
