Enter the New Year with othe phenomenal Town of Cats followed by two outrageously talented DJ’s with Xero and The World’s Tallest DJ!

🎆 Celebrate New Year’s Eve in Battersea’s Most Magical Hidden Garden! 🎆
Step into a quirky wonderland tucked away in the heart of Battersea — a secret garden bursting with character, live performances, and DJ sets to keep you moving into the early hours.
Headlining the night are the magnificent Town of Cats, an ever-mutating municipality of musical misfits, born from Brighton’s fertile chaos. Their sound is a riotous fusion of funk, brass, and fearless wordplay , from sharp-tongued satire to ecstatic grooves that dare you not to dance.
Expect boiling blasts of brass, face-melting riffs, and a groove-driven call for unity that sets the tone for the year ahead. Town of Cats reminds us that the best parties — the truly transformative ones — come from the most unexpected places.

Xero is an Open Format DJ with an urban focus such as Reggaeton, Afrobeats, rap, rnb, amapiano & dancehall. With a proven track record of live performance DJ sets across the globe, Xero offers a comprehensive suite of beyond DJING such as talent management, production and songwriting.

The World’s Tallest DJ specialises in colourful, quirky, eccentric bangers! Equally at home on a main stage as in an intimate venue, WTDJ’s sets are all about diversifying the dancefloor from a solid bass of vibey, foot twitching beats.

639 Distortion
639 Distortion is London based live techno duo. Blending hypnotic nu-gabber and post-techno elements with ethereal, siren-like vocals and thunderous live drum beats, they forged a bold and distinct sound within the underground scene.The band’s live shows are a fierce blend of punk energy and euphoric electronic beats, drawing comparisons to iconic acts like Crystal Castles and The Prodigy. Their performances are raw and emotional, yet brutal, with live synths and drums adding an extra layer of intensity.

Land of Mu
Land of Mu are a three-piece harmony ensemble crafting a unique brand of “ethereal folk.” By blending the organic warmth of violin and guitar with the cinematic depth of synths, the trio transforms dark, melancholic emotions into soaring, angelic soundscapes

Luke Lanes
Luke Lanes mixes quick-fire beats with melodic blue notes, crowned by a soulful, explosive voice that makes him an act you don’t want to miss on any stage. A rising bard of the festival scene, he delivers a surge of energy and a moment of reset — the perfect soundtrack to carry on your journey.

STiRZ
Charlie STiRZaker is heavily influenced by the UK’s plethora of dirty electronic sounds; DnB, Glitch-Hop, Breaks, Dub-Step, House, Techno and Garage (to name a few). His high-performance DJ sets combine fun, intelligent mashups with live drumming, scratching and a host of vibing vocalists from his home spun productions.

Mathias Nova
As producer and live performer he has been associated with German labels Traumuart and Kosmonautentanz, and for 26 years he has been addicted to performing on stage — a DJ, guitarist, and live performer who rejects formulas, combining seemingly distant musical worlds. The result is an eclectic and slightly avant-garde style located somewhere around techno, minimal, and deep/tech house.

MadMunkey
One of the founding fathers of the #2140movement, that shares cypherpunk ethos and values through art/music/money and culture. MadMunky aspires to connect others by creating the space and education platforms, for practicing a change they want to see.

Get your tickets here!!!
From busking on the streets to the big stage, this is raw folk music that’s heartfelt and punchy!

The story of The Trouble Notes begins on the Brooklyn banks of the East River.
A young visionary violinist stood staring out, beyond the lights of the city into the unknown, yearning for an adventure that would sweep him away from his beloved New York City. Having spent the past years on an intense career path at a Wall Street investment firm, Bennet felt a sense of conflict down to his very core.

He drew inspiration from the careers of Rodrigo y Gabriela and Gogol Bordello. They had not sat around and waited for opportunities to knock at their door, they brought their music directly to the people. He would daydream from his office desk about traveling across Europe and Asia, playing his music in a group called “The Trouble Notes”. Soon those dreams would need to become reality.

After one month of busking in London, he would meet local percussionist Oliver Maguire. Born in west London, Olly had grown up in a Rock’n’Roll family. His father a former tour manager for the band Motörhead, young Olly grew up learning his skills from rock drumming legend Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor. And while his love for rock music was obvious, it was his upbringing in an area rich in cultural immigration that would shape his passion for World music and beats.

Traveling together around the UK and Ireland, they would eventually land in one of the cultural epicenters of Europe: Berlin, Germany. Like in every city before, they took immediately to the streets. Within months of their arrival, they would meet guitarist Florian Eisenschmidt. Having graduated from SAE, Florian had spent his young adult life working in recording studios in Berlin. When he first saw Bennet and Oliver playing, he was impressed by their infectious energy and skills on their instruments.

An encounter that started as an admiration for the band would soon translate into the addition of a third member. Bringing his skills as an engineer and energetic guitar playing style, Florian’s addition would mark the last piece of group’s core. That is when The Trouble Notes were truly born.

DJ Richio then blends his eclectic fresh, fun and fantastic flavours keeping the dancefloor in full swing all night!

The Dead Reads, Sleaze, John Fairhurst and DJ Sacha Dieu are here to celebrate our outrageously anarchistic Anti Valentine’s Ball!

“The Dead Reds bring the blues kicking and screaming into the modern age. With gritty vocals, filthy fuzz riffs and swampy grooves, this UK outfit channels the spirit of Howling Wolf and turns it up to 11. Their sound is soulful yet aggressive – slide guitar meets distortion, harmonica wails over thunderous drums and every song sound like it was born in a dive bar and raised in a storm. The Dead Reds don’t play the blues – they weaponise it. Expect heavy, groove driven and something that feels like a whiskey-fuelled bar fight in slow motion.” (Freak Valley Festival)
The band have extensively performed across the UK supporting bands such as Alabama 3, My Baby and Cam Cole and heavily toured the festival circuit playing Glastonbury Festival, Beautiful Days, Secret Garden Party and many more. 2025 has seen their first stint into Europe where they will be touring in 2026 alongside a UK tour in the Spring.
They have released a few singles over the last year and will be releasing their debut album with this current line up in Summer 2026.

Freshly added to the lineup, Sleaze are a must-see band, with the vibrancy of an energetic and sophisticated Nick Cave and Iggy Pop love child. Be sure to check out their new track “Sleaze Pleaze”
Drawn from the South London nightworld milieu, and emerging from the same unruly scene that gave us Fat White Family, Warmduscher and Fat Dog, SLEAZE are fronted by Dave Ashby – a Penge born artist, son of a cab driver and bingo caller. Alongside Ashby at the front, the band are filmmaker Laurie Yule on guitar, Bede Trillo on bass, Percy Mackay on drums, and Al Grumble on synths.

Drawing deeply from blues, rock, folk and world music, with a penchant for slide guitar and a distinctive deep growling voice, the songs and virtuoso guitar playing of John Fairhurst, delivered in pure raconteur style, narrate all the wild first hand experiences of a life on the road.
After a 5 year hiatus, John powered back onto the scene in 2024, playing in 11 countries across Europe over the summer at numerous festivals, venues and theatres. He is overjoyed to be back doing what he does best.

Spinning into the early hours is DJ Sacha Dieu, celebrated for genre-defying sets that leap through the best genres in party music!
