Sports Team, Nell Mescal, FEET & Walt Disco to play DIY Alive 2026

Set your alarms - DIY Alive is back! Four years after the inaugural edition took place in 2022, we are once again returning to East London to bring you a jam-packed programme of live music, talks, Q&As and more, all in the name of bringing the spirit of DIY Magazine alive for one huge day.

This year’s edition of the festival - which is taking place in partnership with Gotobeat - will unfold across multiple spaces within Dalston’s iconic venue EartH on Saturday 3rd October, and is set to play host to some of DIY’s favourite artists, both established and new.

Speaking of fave acts, we’re thrilled to announce that DIY Alive 2026 will be headlined by Sports Team - after first playing on one of DIY’s live bills almost a decade ago - while they’ll be joined by a stellar cast of acts including Irish singer-songwriter Nell Mescal, Coventry post-punk band FEET, and Glaswegian alt-rockers Walt Disco. With live music taking place across the venue’s two stages, there’ll be plenty more announcements coming very soon, ooh-er, along with news of other activities that’ll be taking place across the day.

In the meantime, though, tickets are on sale now! Available from just £30 plus booking fees, you can get your hands on them via Gotobeat or DICE now - and keep your eyes peeled for even more brilliant artists being announced in the coming weeks…
