This\u00a0summer, history was made when DJs played at the Royal Naval College for the first time at the Labyrinth on the Thames<\/a> music festival.\u00a0In 2026 the\u00a0festival isn\u2019t only coming back to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, but it could\u00a0massively increase in size.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The dance and electronic festival took place during the first two weekends of August this year,\u00a0with DJs Black Coffee, Solomun and Fisher blasting out house\u00a0and techno sets to\u00a0thousands of\u00a0punters in the historic surroundings. Band Empire of the Sun headlined too, with a live set.<\/p>\n

The 2025 series saw six sold-out shows, each with a capacity of 10,000. In 2026 Labyrinth wants to increase its number of shows by 50 percent, from six to nine.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Starting out as a club night in Notting Hill in 2017, Labyrinth threw its inaugural festival in the historic digs in 2025. However it wasn\u2019t the first time Greenwich\u2019s Royal Naval College has hosted concerts. The Greenwich Summer Sessions festival has been held at the site since 2011, however\u00a0Trinity Laban, the music and dance college based on the campus, tried to get its licence cancelled in 2023 after complaining that noise from sound checks was disturbing the students.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For 2025 and future events a rule was imposed that Trinity Laban and the University of Greenwich\u00a0would\u00a0have to be consulted\u00a0about the dates of the events. Local councillors will consider Labyrinth\u2019s proposal at a\u00a0licensing sub-committee hearing\u00a0on November 12.\u00a0<\/p>\n
