Chase and Status will headline Electric City
(Picture: Crown & Owls)West London will reverberate to the beat of drum’n’bass this weekend as some of the scene’s top DJs gather for Electric City.
The one-day shindig is a brand new addition to the capital’s bustling festival calendar, and tickets are still available for anyone who hasn’t secured their place so far.
Here’s all you need to know.
When and where is Electric City festival?
The initial plan was for the party to take place in Clapham Common on August 28, the bank holiday Sunday. But in May, organisers announced that the the local authority, Lambeth Council, could “no longer guarantee the venue space”, and as a result, they’d have to find another spot.
Gunnersbury Park in west London was the swiftly arranged replacement, with a new date, too: August 21.
Who’s on the Electric City line-up?
Drum‘n’bass is the focus here, and though the line-up is a compact one, there are some big names involved. Chase and Status will perform live for their only London show of 2022, while a perennial favourite of the scene, Andy C, is among the other top-billed DJs.
Elsewhere, Sub Focus will go back-to-back with Wilkinson, Dimension will deliver a DJ set, while Belgian big-hitter Netsky also drops in.
Here’s the full line-up:
- Chase and Status
- Netsky
- Andy C
- Sub Focus B2B Wilkinson
- Dimension
- Kings of the Rollers
- Friction
- Turno B2B Hedex
- Alcemist B2B Vibe Chemistry

How to travel to Gunnersbury Park for Electric City festival
As always with London festivals, leave the car at home — there’s no official parking on site and exclusions will be in place in the surrounding area. Festival-goers are encouraged to arrive by public transport (if they can’t walk or cycle), with Kew Bridge on the District and Overground lines, and Ealing Broadway on the District, Central and Elizabeth lines suggested by organisers as the two best options.
