Four Tet headlines GALA at Peckham Rye Park over the late May bank holiday, with Blawan, DJ Harvey, HAAi, Egyptian Lover and Soichi Terada on the first wave.
Four Tet, the London producer Kieran Hebden, headlines GALA, a three-day dance music festival at Peckham Rye Park, from Friday 28 to Sunday 30 May 2027. Blawan, DJ Harvey, HAAi, Egyptian Lover and Soichi Terada are on the first wave.
GALA began in 2016, started by two friends who had organised student parties in Newcastle. It runs across the late May bank holiday weekend. Ten Years of GALA, a 15-track compilation on Rush Hour, came out on Friday 1 May 2026.
Hebden grew up in Putney and formed the post-rock band Fridge at Elliott School. His solo albums Rounds, in 2003, and There Is Love in You, in 2010, made his name.
The 2027 edition is titled The House We Keep, with Adonis, Deviation and Dreamland among its partners. The dates are subject to licence.
Blawan is the Barnsley techno producer Jamie Roberts. DJ Harvey was born Harvey Bassett in London. HAAi, from Karratha in Western Australia, held a two-year residency at Phonox in London.
Egyptian Lover was an early figure in 1980s Los Angeles electro, known for the Roland TR-808. Soichi Terada, from Tokyo, co-founded Far East Recording and scored the 1999 game Ape Escape.
