Labyrinth On The Thames has closed its biggest ever summer season after welcoming 76,000 attendees across eight sold-out dates.
The open-air live music series was staged at Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, London, between July 31 and August 16, headlined by The Kooks, Dom Dolla, Peggy Gou, Overmono, Adriatique, Anjunadeep Open Air, Moby and Michael Bibi.
The 2026 series featured 47 artists in total, spanning global headliners, breakthrough artists and homegrown talent. Attendance was up from 57,000 visitors across six dates in its inaugural year.

Production was delivered by High Scream, the events team behind spectacles such as Hï Ibiza and Coachella.
“It’s pretty mad to think that in only our second year we’ve had 76,000 people through the gates across eight sold-out shows," said Nick Castleman and Michael Dicks, co-founders of Labyrinth Events. "We’re independent promoters and we’ve always just wanted to put on the kind of shows we’d want to go to ourselves, incredible artists, proper production and locations that make the whole thing feel special.
"The Old Royal Naval College is one of those places where you walk in and immediately know you’re somewhere different, and we’re really grateful to the team there for trusting us to bring this to life. Every artist came with their own ideas and made each day feel completely different, which is exactly what we wanted from the series.
"Seeing the venue full to the brim with energy over the past few weekends, has been incredibly special. Massive thank you to everyone who’s been part of it, we’re already excited about what comes next.”
In addition, Labyrinth continued its official charity partnership with Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice, raising over £40,000 in 2026 to build on the more than £16,000 raised last year.
Ahead of the festival, organisers also launched a large-scale food bank drive in collaboration with EARNT, supporting vulnerable people across the borough through its “Earn Your Day At Labyrinth” initiative.
The partnership also extended to a community litter-picking initiative on Woolwich Common, while the 2026 series further deepened its investment in local education, skills and career pathways through its continued partnership with the University of Greenwich, providing students with paid, hands-on experience in large-scale event management.
