GALA Festival Announces Full Line-up For 2026

GALA, London’s leading independent electronic music festival, has announced its complete line-up for its return to Peckham Rye Park over the Bank Holiday weekend, 22–24 May 2026. Reaffirming their status as a key event in the capital’s underground dance music scene, GALA is focused on community and culture with the 2026 edition themed The Floor Is Ours.

Friday packs a punch celebrating the rich heritage of UK rap, bass music, and soundsystem culture. The day will be headlined by Peckham's own Giggs, accompanied by the iconic UK rap figure CASISDEAD, grime staple Novelist, and East London legend D Double E who performs with rising producer Hamdi. UKG vibes are brought by Conducta and Todd Edwards, while Dirty Hit’s dh2 stage presents the innovative club sounds of George Daniel from The 1975 alongside Oscar Farrell, Or:la, and Pariah. Rooted in soundsystem culture and pirate radio tradition, Friday marks GALA’s most sonically diverse opening yet, with stage hosts including NTS, Rinse FM, HVYWGHT, and BORN N BREAD.

Saturday will be a celebration of club culture in all its forms, primarily focused on house and techno. The event is open to diverse influences, highlighting queer expression, innovative selectors, and communities that are actively transforming the dancefloor. Newly announced performers include Saoirse, who will present a new A/V show, alongside X CLUB., DJ Seinfeld, and Logic1000. Noteworthy debuts elsewhere in the lineup feature Sonja Moonear, Sedef Adasï (also known as Acid Ayşe), Verraco, and Detroit In Effect.

And finally Sunday provides a warm, rejuvenating conclusion rooted in house, disco, and the origins of dance music. Headlined by Detroit heavyweight Seth Troxler, Lil’ Louis, and Norwegian star Todd Terje, known for defining the 2010s cosmic disco wave, the final day emphasises musicality and collective release. Performances by Gilles Peterson, Cassy, Jennifer Loveless, Musclecars, and Isaac Carter complete an already impressive closing lineup, featuring a rare b3b by crate diggers Antal, HUNEE, and Palms Trax, along with Chaos In The CBD, Moxie, and Christian AB. Together, they'll be bringing GALA’s tenth edition to a close in celebration of pioneering house and disco artists.
