East London Block Party presents second wave of 2026 lineup
slumber, SILVERWINGKILLER, Dreamwave, and The Horrors’ Faris Badwan are among the new additions.

East London Block Party have continued to amp up anticipation for this year’s event - mark your diaries for Saturday 25th July! - with the news that nine buzzy new names have joined the bill.
Included in this latest wave are indie revivalists slumber, electro-punk pair SILVERWINGKILLER, and Bristol neo-psych quartet Dreamwave, while Faris Badwan of The Horrors will also be putting in a shift behind the decks for a special DJ set.
They sit alongside previously-announced acts like Blue Bendy (who are headlining proceedings), Truthpaste, wing! and Adore, while beyond the music, punters can also explore a stacked programme of panel talks, live Q&As, acoustic pop-ups and more.
2026 will be the fourth successive year East London Block Party has returned to the streets of Shoreditch (following three sold-out previous editions), spanning Colours, The Old Blue Last, Strongroom, and Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes.
Tickets are already on second release; get yours here, and check out the full lineup so far below.
