London GALA festival gets full line-up reveal — and a Peckham legend headlines

Peckham Rye’s GALA festival goes on sale at the end of this month, and its line-up has now been announced.

GALA takes place at Peckham Rye Park on May 22nd to 24th, and each day has its own focus. Friday is a more rap-centric line-up, headed up by Giggs, who is himself from Peckham. Saturday brings more of a house and techno flavour with sets from Saoirse, Call Super and DJ Seinfeld.

Sunday continues the dance energy, but with more of a disco bent, thanks to acts like Todd Terje.

Other highlights of the weekend include Seth Troxler and Bakey with Mia Koden, among many others you'll find listed below.

Ticket pre-sale starts on January 30th at 10am, and you can sign up for access at the GALA website. You just need to provide you details to get 48-hour access ahead of the crowds.

It’ll let you pick up “the lowest-priced GALA '26 passes” according to the organisers.

Pricing for this year’s festival has not yet been announced. But last year there was a super-limited allocation of tickets available for just £39.50, plus booking fee.
