Get ready for the ultimate electronic music festival experience of 2023, as Junction 2 hits Boston Manor Park this July! Reimagining the Junction 2 experience to create an unparalleled sensory journey for dance music lovers everywhere, from lighting and sound to this year’s killer line-up, no detail has been overlooked in the pursuit of perfection.
Debuting three new stages for 2023, the Grid, Quad, and Blackout, alongside Junction 2’s renowned Bridge and secluded Woods stages, this year’s artists will be given free rein to express themselves, while ravers will be treated to a fully immersive audiovisual experience across each unique space, a concept rarely seen across the daytime festival scene.
The Grid, a new cutting-edge stage at Junction 2, features revolutionary technology that sets the bar for groundbreaking visuals, vibrations and vibes. Primed to host some of the festival’s heaviest-hitting acts, it guarantees a captivating experience for everyone involved. Overhead lighting structures will extend to the back of the crowd, set to envelop every attendee in the electric sounds and immersive lighting. As for which artists will break in The Grid, you can expect performances from Underworld, Adam Beyer / Cirez D, Mall Grab B2B Skin On Skin, Mathame, Max Cooper, KAS:ST, and more.
Lose yourself in the open-air splendour of Quad. A space designed to showcase some of the finest names in house music, with FUSE and Phonica Records—two of London’s most respected music partners—collaborating over the upcoming July weekend, this new stage embodies the past, present, and future of the London scene. Standing as a testament to the enduring impact and significance of these partners in the world of underground music, The Quad will host a line-up of acts including Dixon, Daphni B2B Hunee, Dan Shake, and a series of eagerly anticipated B2Bs in the FUSE camp, featuring Enzo Siragusa B2B Dyed Soundorom and Margaret Dygas B2B Sonja Moonear.
Blackout is a stage designed to transcend the conventional limits of daylight festivals and offers an entrancing rave experience that transports attendees to an alternate place. This innovative space boasts intelligent lighting, a colossal sound system, and some of the weekend’s most anticipated DJs including The line-up? Stingray 313 B2B Objekt, Dax J, FJAAK, Kettama, Sama’ Abdulhadi, and I. JORDAN.
Moving on to one stage you might have danced in front of before, the Bridge, Junction 2’s most iconic stage, is set to make a triumphant return, delivering yet another year of unparalleled party experiences. As one of the most impressive festival spaces in the UK, it continues to draw a stellar lineup of top-tier artists. This year’s roster features Detroit techno pioneer Jeff Mills, who will make his debut at Boston Manor Park, alongside covered electronic music artists including Charlotte de Witte, Nina Kraviz, and the UK B2B debut of Ben UFO and Helena Hauff.
Last but not least, the Woods, a favourite for any Junction 2 junkies that have graced its ground year on year, embodies the essence of iconic woodland raves and boasts some of the finest sound quality at any UK festival. Revitalized for 2023 after a hiatus, the Woods is set to host an impressive lineup of artists, including Midland, Or:la, and CC:DISCO!. The Hessle Audio Trio will curate the stage on Saturday, inviting Batu, Ehua, and Miami’s finest Nick León and Bitter Babe to join them in creating an unforgettable experience.
With a diverse and exciting lineup, Junction 2 2023 is set to be an unmissable event for electronic music lovers and festival-goers alike.
