GemFest is an independent four-day camping festival of UKG, house, techno, jungle and D&B at Charlton Park near Malmesbury, 17–20 June 2027. It suits a group that can't agree on one tempo; the 2027 lineup is still to come.
Terminal V is a techno festival that grew from a one-day Edinburgh event to more than 20,000 people a day, and it moves to Glasgow for 5–6 June 2027. I'd register now but wait for the site and lineup before booking anything non-refundable.
Hospitality Weekender is Hospital Records' drum and bass festival at Butlin's Bognor Regis, 12–15 March 2027, sold as a room-and-ticket package. The package matters as much as the poster: rooms are charged at full occupancy and guest names are due by 31 January 2027.
An electronic music festival is built around DJs and electronic acts, from D&B to techno. My 2027 UK picks are Hospitality Weekender for D&B, Terminal V for techno, Gottwood for house, GemFest for a mixed bill and Boomtown for bass, with confirmed dates.
The UK club season is autumn's run of big club nights, from September to December. My picks for the rest of 2026 are fabric's birthday weekend, Overmono at WHP and The White Hotel's last season, plus Bristol jungle and Glasgow techno, with dates and listings.
