Until next time: Gala festival will return to Peckham Rye Park in 2021

In a normal world, this weekend would have been the one where London’s festival season really got going.

Three of the city’s favourite festivals were scheduled for the big bank holiday weekender. All Points East would have taken over Victoria Park for its first three days of music. Gala was due to land in Peckham Rye Park, bringing its usual smorgasbord of house and disco delights. And way out east in Upminster, We Are FSTVL should have been welcoming some of the biggest names in tech-house, techno and drum ‘n’ bass for a good old fashioned rave-up.

Alas, none of that will happen. APE and Gala have officially moved themselves to 2021, while We Are FSTVL is hoping to get the party restarted in September.

If you had tickets to any of those festivals, you may be left wondering this weekend what might have been. To lift any glum moods, we’ve put together three playlists — one for each festival — made up purely of the artists on each line-up.

So grab your drink (ideally in a reusable plastic cup, to get the authentic experience), whack on some glitter, find a nice socially distanced spot to have a dance in, and create your very own festival mood with the help of these playlists.

We can’t wait to see you all again once All Points East, Gala and We Are FSTVL finally return.
