How the three days split
Mixtape Madness sets out a different mood for each day. Friday leans on bass, with Four Tet, Shy FX, Skin On Skin, Blawan, Oppidan, Introspekt and Benji B & Judah. Saturday brings club energy from HAAi, Egyptian Lover, Angel D’lite, Peach, Freakenstein and Ogazón & Ryan Elliott, plus an open-air Adonis takeover. Sunday turns to house, disco and deeper sets. Antal & HUNEE, Chez Damier, Gene On Earth, Louise Chen, Moxie, Soichi Terada and Tama Sumo & Lakuti all play. DJ Harvey & Friends host the Pleasure Dome, and Rush Hour returns, according to the outlet.
Built around London’s crews
Stage partners matter as much as headliners here. GALA names 12 of them: Rinse FM, Deviation, HVYWGHT, BORN N BRED, Adonis, Dreamland, FWEAKY, Rush Hour, On Loop, Limousine Dream, Resident Advisor and TraTraTrax. Many of these are party and radio brands with their own crowds. That gives the weekend the feel of several scenes sharing one park, rather than one bill built around a few big names.
BEZ will add GALA 2027 to its events calendar. We will update this story when GALA confirms its licence, ticket prices and further acts.
