Lovebox Festival 2026

Lovebox Presented by Dreamland is a brand-new event concept created by the original Lovebox team in partnership with the crew behind Margate’s iconic Dreamland. Taking place on 29–30 May, this special seaside edition marks a new chapter for the much-loved festival, bringing the Lovebox spirit to the coast and welcoming both longtime fans and new audiences.

Originally launched in 2002 by Groove Armada, Lovebox grew to be a staple of London’s festival circuit until 2020, and now returns with the same community-driven ethos in a brand-new form, taking over two stages – the Main Stage, Hall By The Sea – with a diverse programme of live acts and DJs spanning drum and bass, garage, disco, pop, soul and club sounds.
