J2 X 10th Anniversary Leads THE BRIDGE Summer Series In London

LWE, the renowned electronic music promoters since 2010, has announced THE BRIDGE, a new series that brings together six electronic music events across two weekends at Boston Manor Park in West London. From 24th–26th July and 31st July–2nd August 2026, the series features some of the most respected brands and artists in electronic music, over two iconic stages – Junction 2 celebrating its 10th anniversary, London clubbing institution fabric’s first open air show, Berlin’s Innervisions label, Hedex presents My Home Is The Rave Festival, and Fragrance, co-founded by Effy and Mall Grab. Tickets are on sale now from See Tickets.

THE BRIDGE takes its name from Junction 2’s defining landmark — an open‑air industrial stage beneath the M4 flyover that has become synonymous with the J2 experience. This year, events will unfold across both the Bridge and the intimate, immersive Woods stage – two spaces that have shaped the festival’s identity over the years. Alongside their return, the site itself has evolved with more space to dance under the bridge than ever before, new viewing platforms, improved flow across the park, and dedicated areas to reset between sets.

Will Harold, CEO at LWE said: “Since launching Junction 2 at Boston Manor Park in 2016, we’ve spent a decade developing it into a destination for underground electronic music on a global scale. THE BRIDGE represents the fullest realisation of that ambition yet: a curated, multi-promoter series that brings together some of the most forward-thinking brands and labels in the world across a single greensite.”

THE BRIDGE series opens on Friday 24th July with Hedex presents My Home Is The Rave Festival. From his acclaimed debut album and documentary to selling out Wembley Arena in a single day, Hedex now curates a flagship festival, bringing over 40 artists, including Serum, Born On Road, Voltage, Turno, Disrupta, and Benny L. This is one of the most significant drum & bass events to land in London this summer.

At the heart of THE BRIDGE series is Junction 2’s 10th anniversary edition, J2 X, a festival that has consistently prioritised sound, programming and production above all else. On Saturday 25th July, J2 X opens in collaboration with fabric and its first open air show, bringing together techno pioneers and underground selectors, alongside groundbreaking visuals from its global tour to its hometown in London. Nina Kraviz, Jeff Mills, and the rare pairing of Marcel Dettmann b2b DJ Hell, are joined by Nicolas Lutz, Francesco Del Garda, Gabrielle Kwarteng b2b Peach and more, with immersive visual production delivered throughout by Dreamrec. 

Sunday 26th July, J2 X sees Drumcode founder and one of the most recognisable figures in global techno, Adam Beyer, headline a day that also features Miss Monique, Indo Warehouse, Franky Wah, Aaron Hibell, Avangart Tabldot and Tripolism. 

On Friday 31st July, Effy and Mall Grab bring their label project Fragrance to THE BRIDGE. Co-founded by the two artists in 2025, Fragrance has quickly established itself as one of the most interesting propositions in the current wave of UK club music. Alongside label boss Effy and Australian producer Mall Grab whose lo-fi house records helped shape a generation of club music, comes a very rare b2b set between UK bass pioneer Benga and Special Request aka Paul Woolford, DJ Storm, Sully and more besides, for a night that reflects the label’s genre-fluid, dancefloor-first vision.

THE BRIDGE on Saturday 1st August welcomes the defining Berlin-based label Innervisions for a one-off, open-air festival themed ‘Nothing Holds Forever’ – a reflection on impermanence and transformation. Co-founder Dixon headlines, alongside Howling, Innervisions label partner Âme Live x Trikk, Sama’ Abdulhadi, Jimi Jules x RY X and many others in what stands as one of the most anticipated electronic music events in London this year.

J2 X closes out the series on Sunday 2nd August with a programme exploring the harder and faster edges of contemporary techno, featuring I Hate Models, Funk Tribu, Charlie Sparks, Caravel, Leo Pol and many more.Across six events and two weekends, THE BRIDGE presents a programme that reflects the full breadth and depth of contemporary electronic music, set to the backdrop of one of London’s most unmistakable spaces. Tickets start at £62.25 with payment plans and group tickets available, plus backstage access options on selected shows. For more information, visit See Tickets.
