Josh Baker, KETTAMA & Prospa make UK dance history after selling out three Finsbury Park shows with 135,000 tickets sold
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.

deadmau5 Takes Over Red Rocks For Halloween
deadmau5 takes over Red Rocks for Halloween on October 30 and 31 with two special shows and the return of mau5hop
For more than 15 years, deadmau5 has returned to Red Rocks Amphitheatre each fall, with the Colorado venue becoming a regular part of his seasonal live shows. This year, that tradition reaches a new point as he performs at Red Rocks on Halloween itself for the first time, with DEADMAU5 HALLOWEEN taking place on October 30 and 31. The two-night event will feature VOWWS, joined by Josh Freese and Danny Lohner, alongside special visuals, selections from deadmau5’s catalogue and new music. The weekend will also include the return of the mau5hop pop-up in Denver, with exclusive merchandise, collectibles and meet-and-greet sessions across both days.

VOWWS Joins deadmau5 For The Halloween Shows
VOWWS will join deadmau5 across the two nights, with Josh Freese and Danny Lohner also part of the performance. The Australian-born, Los Angeles-based duo of Matt James and Rizz have long worked across darker alternative and electronic sounds, with previous collaborations involving Gary Numan, Chino Moreno and Chelsea Wolfe.
Josh Freese, whose credits include A Perfect Circle, Foo Fighters, Nine Inch Nails and The Vandals, also appears on VOWWS’ latest album I’ll Fill Your House With An Army. Danny Lohner, known for his work with Nine Inch Nails and The Black Queen, will join the duo at Red Rocks as part of the expanded live lineup.
What deadmau5 Has Planned For Halloween
The October 30 and 31 shows will feature special Halloween visuals alongside selections from deadmau5’s catalogue and new music. Attendees are also being encouraged to come in costume across both nights.
The shows add a new chapter to deadmau5’s long history at Red Rocks, where his fall appearances have become a regular fixture over more than 15 years. He was back at the venue in 2025 for Day of the Dead, where he debuted new music and parts of a new touring production.
That period has continued into 2026 with ‘Science’ featuring Stevie Appleton, his first vocal single since ‘My Heart Has Teeth’. The track later reached No. 1 on US Dance Radio and also entered Billboard Dance/Mixshow Airplay and Canada CHR/Top 40.
mau5hop Returns For Halloween Weekend
The Halloween weekend will also include the return of mau5hop in Denver, opening on October 30 and 31 at 95 S Cherokee Street. The pop-up will run from 11:00 AM–6:00 PM each day with specialty merchandise, limited-edition apparel, pins and collectibles not available online or at the shows.
deadmau5 and friends are also due to appear for meet-and-greets and signings from 12:00 PM–3:00 PM on both days.
With the Red Rocks shows and mau5hop both returning across Halloween weekend, this year’s edition adds more around a tradition that has already become closely tied to deadmau5 and the venue. The biggest difference in 2026 is simple: for the first time, one of those shows will actually fall on Halloween night.
With VOWWS, Josh Freese and Danny Lohner joining the shows, new music expected and mau5hop returning to Denver, DEADMAU5 HALLOWEEN has plenty planned across the weekend. Limited tickets remain for both nights at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, with more from deadmau5 also expected in the months ahead.

BETH Turns Up the Energy With New Single ‘Wait’
Scottish producer BETH returns on The Cross Records with new single Wait, following a breakout 2026 of festival slots, Ibiza dates and Radio 1 support.
In the space of a year, BETH has gone from respected up and comer to a genuine festival act. Her debut on The Cross Records, “Keep It Movin’,” is closing in on 1 million streams, and she’s kept up a steady run of releases on labels like TSHA’s Jackfruit, Eats Everything’s Edible, and Melon Bomb Records, along with a well received remix of Karen Harding’s “Island.” That output has earned her support on BBC Radio 1, with plays from Sarah Story and Arielle Free.
Her live schedule has kept pace too. This year she’s played TRNSMT Festival, Sub Club, Cabaret Voltaire, and SWG3 in Scotland, Mas Que Nada in London, and Lakota in Bristol, plus Ibiza dates at Hï, Cova Santa, and Pikes.

“Wait” marks a step forward in her production. Where “Keep It Movin'” leaned into sultry, harmonic melodies, “Wait” goes bigger and brighter, built around euphoric piano chords, a driving 90s inspired break, and deep reese bass. It’s a feel good summer record from an artist whose rise shows no signs of slowing down.
