Dialled In London is officially back, and bigger than ever. Marking its 5th birthday, the multi-venue, all-day festival returns on Saturday 30 May 2026.
After a year away from home turf, Dialled In reconnects with long-standing community collaborators while unlocking new spaces, including the newly added Rio Cinema, alongside favourites like Café OTO, EartH, Shacklewell Arms and Total Refreshment Centre. The result? A reimagined Dalston takeover that’s louder, freer and built for exploration.
The live programme is led by Lifafa (making his London debut), returning Dialled In favourite Sarathy Korwar, and Gayathri Krishnan with a rare London set. Elsewhere, DJs and selectors from across the global South Asian diaspora, including Anish Kumar and Ahadadream.
True to form, Dialled In remains deeply international, welcoming artists travelling from across South Asia and its diasporas, reflecting London’s role as a global meeting point for contemporary culture. New for 2026: comedy joins the programme for the first time, alongside expanded food, film and interdisciplinary offerings — plus a vinyl fair where collectors can dig deep into community crates.
Founded to spotlight alternative South Asian music and culture, Dialled In has grown into a wider platform spanning live events, artist development and not-for-profit work.
