- London festival Junction 2 has announced the first names for 2023. After several cancellations and a change of location, the LWE-run event will return to its original home at Boston Manor Park on July 21st and 22nd 2023. On the Friday, with a stage hosted by ION, Junction 2's sister festival in Albania, the lineup will feature the likes of Underworld (who will play live), Jeff Mills, Midland, Or:la and Otik, with back-to-backs from Ben UFO and Helena Hauff, Daphni and Hunee, DJ Stingray 313 and Objekt, and Elkka and Sofia Kourtesis. Saturday's lineup, featuring a stage hosted by London promoter Fuse, will include Hessle Audio (Ben UFO, Pangaea, Pearson Sound), Sama' Abdulhadi, FJAAK, Margaret Dygas back-to-back Sonja Moonear and Adam Beyer. Next year's Junction 2 will be the first since 2019. In 2022, the festival had to move dates and location due to Covid-19-related building delays at Boston Manor Park. A few months later, it was forced to cancel altogether because of a proposed TFL strike. Here's the lineup so far.Photo: Luke Dyson Update, January 11th: This piece was updated to include a mention of Friday's headliners, Underworld.
