Gala Festival at Peckham Rye Park: set times, full lineup, tickets and everything you need to know
The second bank holiday of May is upon us, and you know what that means – it's the start of proper festival season in London. The long weekend is set to see a bunch of festivals take place across the capital, and one of them is Gala in Peckham Rye.
The 2025 edition of Gala will be as much of a feast of dance music as the fest always is. The likes of Floating Points, Avalon Emerson and Caribou will play Gala's star-DJ-studded lineup between Friday and Sunday. This year marks 10 years of Gala, and it will mark the occasion with, among other things, a brand-new stage by the name of Floating Points' Sunflower Sound System.
Heading down to Peckham for a dance and a party over the coming days? Here's everything you need to know about Gala 2025, from timings and the full lineup to the weather.
