BCKYRD London 2026 brings Disco Lines, Loud Luxury, BUNT. and more to Harris Park this September

Only one year after its debut, BCKYRD London returns for its second edition on September 18 at Harris Park in London, Ontario. The festival was originally planned for London International Airport, but organizers announced a venue change on September 4. Disco Lines, Loud Luxury, BUNT., Ian Asher, Dudley and Nader remain confirmed, giving the second edition a mix of artists with personal ties to London and Ontario alongside names now touring internationally.

First up is Disco Lines, whose recent success with ‘No Broke Boys’ only tells part of the story. The American producer had already spent years releasing house music before that track reached a much wider audience, with songs including ‘I Don’t Trust A Soul’ showing there is far more in his catalogue than one viral release. For anyone who discovered him recently, his BCKYRD London set is a good reason to go beyond the obvious track and hear what else has been part of his career.

Few artists on the lineup have a story tied to Western University as closely as Loud Luxury. Andrew Fedyk and Joe De Pace met while studying there and formed the duo before releases such as ‘Body’ eventually introduced them to listeners far beyond Canada. Returning to London now brings them back to the city where the project first started, and ‘Nights Like This’ is an easy track to revisit before seeing them play there again.

BUNT. has also changed considerably since the folk-house releases associated with the project’s earlier years. The German producer has explored several areas of electronic music since then, with ‘Clouds’ becoming one of the tracks most closely associated with his recent work. It is also one of the songs we would want to hear at BCKYRD London, particularly from an artist whose current catalogue sounds noticeably different from the music that first introduced him.

Ian Asher first gained widespread attention through remixes and edits shared across social media and streaming platforms, turning that online following into appearances at festivals and clubs around the world. ‘Take Me To The Moon’ is one of the tracks worth hearing before September 18, especially for anyone who knows his name mainly through the shorter edits that first circulated online.

For Nader, playing BCKYRD London means returning to a city already connected to the early part of his career. The Toronto DJ and producer studied at Western University, where DJing and producing became a bigger focus for him before he began playing more regularly across Ontario. His music centres on melodic house with a groovier side, and his time in London makes this festival appearance more personal than another date on his schedule.

That local history continues with Dudley, previously known as ICONIQ, who has been part of London’s DJ scene for more than a decade. His background includes club residencies, support appearances and performances across Ontario, with open-format influences also playing a part in how he approaches electronic music. While several artists on the lineup have connections to the city through university, Dudley represents someone who has spent years playing within London itself.

For its second edition, BCKYRD London has managed to keep a clear connection to the city while bringing in artists whose careers now extend far beyond Ontario. The venue may have changed from London International Airport to Harris Park, but the six confirmed artists remain the same for September 18. Between Loud Luxury‘s return to the city where the duo began, Dudley‘s long history in the local scene and the international reach of Disco Lines, BUNT. and Ian Asher, there is enough here to make the festival worth watching as it enters year two.
