Waterworks Festival isn’t about big names; it’s about big sounds. No traditional headliners here – instead, we’re celebrating the diverse, dynamic electronic music scene that pulses through the heart of London. Each of our seven stages offers a one-of-a-kind experience, so get ready to dive deep into the variety and vibrancy of our city’s underground and beyond.
Feel the heat at PRESSURE, where the intimacy of a club vibe brings the energy close. Or immerse yourself in the legendary 360-degree WATER TOWER, where the music surrounds you in all directions, making you part of the action. The festival kicks off at 12 PM sharp and runs full-throttle until 10:30 PM. With the late-season timing, Waterworks gives you the best of both worlds: the last rays of summer sunshine in the afternoon, followed by an unforgettable, club-like atmosphere as the sun sets and the beats drop even harder.
As ever there are so many artists, styles and sounds we aren’t able to include on the line-up across our seven stages but this keeps us motivated each year to keep exploring. This year we’re presenting our most sonically diverse line-up so far – we’re excited how UK and Global influences are merging more than ever, and the new ground feels delightfully fertile. We’re constantly challenging ourselves to expand the sounds on offer – not to be stuck in our ways but also make sure we keep the essence of a festival routed in UK and London dance music culture.’ – Sandy Marris Programming Co-Director
