World Dance crew - the time is now 👇We’ve spent over a year searching for the right space. After looking at airports, parks, and hangars across the Southeast, we’re bringing it home, back to the roots.
This August bank holiday, we will take over an industrial space in East London (WD homeland), with three indoor warehouses and an outdoor courtyard. Expect stacked speakers, full lighting rigs, and authentic WD production built for proper ravers.
Music across Jungle, Hardcore, Garage, Classic House and a unique Reggae stage brought to you by the WD sound system collective, with a lineup featuring original pioneers and World Dance favourites.

🌎 A MESSAGE FROM JAY (World Dance) 🌎
“We are acutely aware that the amazing memories and lifelong connections those historic shows generated are precious to so many people.
We’ve been asked about Lydd more times than we can count - and trust us, we would’ve gone back if it were possible. But they no longer allow events there.
If we weren’t sure that we could still produce amazing events that would appeal primarily to our traditional fanbase, as well as the generations that have followed, we simply would not try.
We’ve already written some great chapters in the history of the UK’s much-loved rave scene - but now it’s time to write some new ones.
Don’t just read about the history of rave - be a part of creating it.”
