London summer means many things: jugs of Pimms, late-night barbeques, canal-side picnics — and for many: day-long dance parties.
One of the city’s most renowned summer day parties is Maiden Voyage, an outdoor annual celebration of underground electronic music spanning techno, house, disco and more.
Hosted by four of London’s most exciting nightclubs or parties - FOLD/UNFOLD, PXSSY Palace, Adonis and Tech Couture - the festival showcases the staples of the city’s rave scene, pioneered by LGBTQ+ dance music collectives. Expect high-energy music, heavy baselines and hedonistic fun.
Here’s everything you need to know about Maiden Voyage 2025:
