With Josh Baker, KETTAMA and Prospa set to take over Finsbury Park for three consecutive days next summer, the trio are heading into their biggest headline shows to date. The London weekender takes place from July 2–4, 2027 and has already completely sold out. Across the three dates, ticket sales have reached 135,000. That makes it the biggest headline dance weekend in UK history. The trio also become only the second headline act after Drake to sell out three nights at Finsbury Park.

What To Expect From Embrace LDN

Launching at Finsbury Park in North London from July 2–4, 2027, Embrace LDN is a new dance music festival covering house, rave, garage, techno and breakbeat. Its first edition aims to bring a new kind of dance music experience to the city. The festival combines different parts of UK and Irish club culture, and the first names already show that direction.

With Josh Baker b2b KETTAMA b2b Prospa leading the first edition, the festival brings together three artists from different corners of the same club scene. Josh Baker has released tracks such as “Something To Me” and “Back It Up,” while his sets focus heavily on house, minimal and tech house. KETTAMA brings a faster mix of house, techno, garage and rave. Prospa have released tracks such as “Prayer” and “Want Need Love,” with their music pulling from house, breakbeat and classic rave. Together, the three give Embrace LDN a first headline booking that already shows what kind of music the festival wants to champion.

What This Record Says About UK Dance Music

Few countries have had as much influence on electronic music as the UK. Over several decades, acid house, rave, garage, drum & bass, house and techno have all become deeply connected to its club culture. That influence still shows in the numbers today. Electronic music contributed £2.47 billion to the UK economy in 2025. The country also continues to rank among the strongest markets for developing electronic artists.

As festivals have become an increasingly important part of that growth, millions now attend UK events featuring electronic music each year. Much of that success, however, is happening while the venues that helped these scenes develop continue to disappear.

Since 2020, the number of UK nightclubs has fallen significantly, leaving Britain with 36.1% fewer nightclubs than before the pandemic. Greater London also remains 15.5% below its pre-Covid level for late-night venues. Cities such as Birmingham have recorded major declines of their own. Large festivals and outdoor shows continue to attract substantial audiences. Independent clubs, meanwhile, still face rising costs and closures.

A Changing UK Club Landscape

For Josh Baker, KETTAMA and Prospa, selling 135,000 tickets across three nights at Finsbury Park shows how far club-focused electronic music can reach beyond traditional nightlife spaces. All three spent years growing through clubs, specialist events and dance-focused festivals before reaching a booking of this size.

That journey looks different for each of them. Josh Baker developed You&Me and Hide&Seek Festival, while KETTAMA progressed from the Galway scene into major international bookings. Prospa came through Leeds before playing some of the UK’s biggest electronic events. Their Finsbury Park sell-out highlights the contrast facing UK dance music today. Larger events and artists are reaching bigger audiences, while many smaller venues underneath that culture remain under pressure.

With three sold-out dates now confirmed, Josh Baker, KETTAMA and Prospa will head into Embrace LDN with one of the UK’s biggest dance music bookings in recent years. The full weekend is still months away, yet ticket sales have already reached 135,000 before the first edition takes place. That gives Embrace LDN a strong place in the country’s 2027 dance calendar.
