Ain’t, cruush & wing! to play DIY’s stage at East London Block Party 2026

East London Block Party returns this week to take over - you’ve guessed it! - four of Shoreditch’s finest grassroots venues for the fourth instalment of its huge new music day fest.

Between them, The Old Blue Last, Strongroom, Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes, and Colours will play host to over 20 of the most exciting emerging artists this Saturday (25th July) - and DIY are joining the fun down at Colours to present our very own stage.

Kicking things off at the staple Hoxton venue will be intriguing electronic experimentalist wing!, while Manchester shoegaze specialists cruush are sure to keep crowds entranced with cuts from across their two spellbinding EPs. Headlining proceedings will be South London’s finest, Ain’t, whose scuzzy ’90s alt-rock stylings have already seen them share stages with The Belair Lip Bombs, Sunflower Bean and more. 

Elsewhere on the lineup, festival goers will also be treated to live sets from folk-pop troupe Truthpaste, Leeds party-starters Kiosk, biting Irish Adore and many more, as well as DJ sets from Faris Badwan (of The Horrors), Lover1k, and Mandrake Handshake. 

Early bird and first release tickets are fully sold out, with limited final release tickets on sale now - nab yours here, and check out the full lineup for East London Block Party 2026 down below.
