GALA has announced the full line-up for its 2026 return to Peckham Rye Park, taking place across the Bank Holiday weekend from 22–24 May.
Celebrating its tenth edition, the community-led festival continues to position itself at the forefront of London’s underground, with this year framed by the theme The Floor Is Ours, a nod to collective ownership of dancefloor culture.
Friday opens with a deep dive into UK rap, bass and soundsystem heritage, led by a homecoming headline set from Peckham’s Giggs. The bill also features CASISDEAD, Novelist, D Double E with Hamdi, Conducta and Todd Edwards, alongside Mala, Djrum, Objekt and CCL. Benji B and Judah co-curate the main stage, with takeovers from NTS, Rinse FM, HVYWGHT and BORN N BREAD underscoring the day’s pirate radio roots.
Saturday centres club culture in its broadest sense, spotlighting boundary-pushing selectors and queer-led dancefloor energy. Highlights include a new A/V show from Saoirse, sets from X CLUB., DJ Seinfeld and Logic1000, and debut appearances from Sonja Moonear, Sedef Adasï, Verraco and Detroit In Effect, with additional curation from Peach, Club Are and Freakenstein.
Sunday closes the festival with a house and disco-focused finale led by Seth Troxler, Lil’ Louis and Todd Terje. Gilles Peterson, Joe Claussell, Cassy and a rare b3b from Antal, HUNEE and Palms Trax round out the programme, bringing GALA 2026 to a celebratory close rooted in dance music’s past, present and future.
General tickets on sale 30th January at 10am, pre-sale registration is open here.
