The festival - which launched back in 2016 – continues to build long standing relationships with the most influential names in the underground, including Peach with her Dreamland project, Amsterdam institution Rush Hour, NTS, Deviation, HVYWGHT, and The Cause who will each host stage takeovers.

“[I'm] bvery happy to be working with GALA this year to bring Dreamland to the dome on Saturday," says Peach. "Dreamland is a new project which acts as a space for intimacy and deeper connection on dancefloors and beyond. Despite being a large festival, GALA embodies the same ethos and energy as Dreamland, and the partnership feels both organic and exciting.”

GALA's also reaffirmed its commitment to care and inclusivity through its Mutual Future wellbeing strategy. In partnership with Don’t Be A Creep, the initiative works to deliver a safe and welcoming environment for all festival-goers.
