Friday: Four Tet makes his GALA debut

Four Tet leads Friday 28 May.

The British electronic producer has become one of the world’s most influential and recognisable electronic artists.

His performances move between ambient sounds, house, experimental electronic music and unexpected pop selections.

He is joined by Shy FX, Skin On Skin, Blawan, Oppidan and Introspekt.

The Friday programme has a particularly strong connection to UK bass music, jungle and underground club culture.

Shy FX brings decades of drum and bass history, while Oppidan represents the continuing popularity of contemporary UK garage.

Saturday: HAAi and Egyptian Lover

Saturday 29 May focuses on another side of electronic music.

HAAi, Egyptian Lover, Peach, Freakenstein and Ogazón & Ryan Elliott are among the announced artists.

London’s Adonis party will also return for a dedicated takeover.

The programme brings together house, techno, electro and different generations of underground club music.

Egyptian Lover is particularly notable because of his influence on early electro and hip-hop production.

His appearance provides an interesting historical contrast with newer electronic performers.

Sunday: DJ Harvey and house music history

Sunday 30 May features DJ Harvey, Antal & HUNEE, Chez Damier, Gene On Earth, Louise Chen, Moxie and Soichi Terada.

DJ Harvey will also curate his own Pleasure Dome programme.

The festival’s 2027 theme, The House We Keep, celebrates the history of house music and the communities that developed around dancefloors in Chicago, New York and beyond.

When is GALA Festival 2027?

GALA Festival is scheduled for Friday 28 May through Sunday 30 May 2027 at Peckham Rye Park in London, subject to licensing.

More artists are expected to be announced before the festival.

With Four Tet making his GALA debut and a particularly strong lineup of underground electronic performers, the 2027 edition looks set to be one of London’s most interesting specialist dance festivals.

The confirmed lineup is available from GALA’s official 2027 announcement.
