We Are FSTVL 2022: Tickets, line-up, location and all you need to know

It’s one of London’s biggest raves, returning for its latest edition in August - and it’s not too late to secure your spot.

We Are FSTVL will bring together some of dance music’s most popular acts, from tech-house heroes to drum ‘n’ bass legends, helming the decks across the weekend.

Here’s all you need to know.

When and where is We Are FSTVL?

The festival is set to run from August 6-7 at Damyns Hall Aerodrome in Upminster, a town in the outer edges of east London. Doors will open at midday on both Saturday and Sunday and shut at 11pm. Last entry is 5pm.

Who’s on the We Are FSTVL line-up for 2022?

The music will be spread across five stages on both days, with an array of heavy-hitting DJs set to appear.

The biggest Friday names are on the Circoloco stage, with the likes of The Blessed Madonna, Jamie Jones and The Martinez Brothers all performing. On the Afterlife stage, there will be sets from the Camelphat and Tale of Us, while the PrettyLittleThing stage will welcome Andy C, Artful Dodger, and DJ Luck and MC Neat — as well as some non-dance acts, including Mabel and Chip. Glitterbox will host Todd Terry, The Shapeshifters and more, while Boat Club is the home of Jordan Valleys, Michael Younger and others.

On Saturday, Circoloco performs with some real crowd-pullers — Adam Beyer, Carl Cox, Deborah de Luca and more — while Solid Grooves will stage sets from the likes of Dennis Cruz, Loco Dice and Michael Bibi. Again, the PrettyLittleThing stage does slightly deviate from dance music with KSI and Craig David, but will also host a Rudimental DJ set. The Defected stage will see Sonny Fodera, Monki and more, while Casita will host acts such as Alisha and Jack Whitworth, with Buena Vida bringing together Francis, Jaden Pace and others.
