Music events to be on your radar in London during Frieze Week 2026

The busiest week in London's art calendar is back. Frieze London and Frieze Masters open in The Regent's Park from 14 to 18 October, bringing 318 galleries to the city between them, and a week that fills up fast around them. Outside of the fairs, the gallery hopping, the drinks and the dinners, here is your guide to where you can go after for house, techno and live shows, from a fabric birthday weekender across Friday and Saturday into Monday, to all-night sets at Palais in Peckham, six hours of Midland at FOLD, and headline shows at EartH, KOKO and Outernet.

Midland All Day Long

#FLODown: Midland returns to FOLD for a six hour solo set, afternoon into evening, his first at the club in some time.

A Love From Outer Space (All Day Long)

#FLODown: The resident party founded by Andrew Weatherall and Sean Johnston returns to Phonox for a day of psychedelic chuggers, with Johnston playing open to close. Slow tempos, long records and a floor that has kept the same crowd for years. Phonox is a 450 capacity Brixton room on Funktion One, and a 4pm start makes this the recovery option if Friday night went long.
Date: Saturday 17 October, 4pm until 10pm, 18+. Location: Phonox, 418 Brixton Road, SW9 7AY. Price: from £10. Book now.

BASHKKA presents INVIGORATE A.M. with GIDEÖN and Pancratio

#FLODown: The first London edition of INVIGORATE A.M., the party series run by Berlin based Kurdish DJ and producer BASHKKA, who has become one of the more interesting bookings in European club music. She is joined by Adonis resident GIDEÖN, a central figure in London's queer nightlife, and Italian DJ Pancratio. Eight hours at Palais, 21+, no photos or filming.
Date: Saturday 17 October, 8pm until 4am, 21+. Location: Palais, 1a Rye Lane, SE15 5EW. Price: from £25. Book now

KOKO Electronic: Michael Bibi

#FLODown: Michael Bibi plays The Theatre at KOKO, his first time in the room and a rare hometown headline show. Bibi came up through independent parties in London and turned Solid Grooves into one of the most recognisable names in tech house, and the set takes in label favourites and unreleased material. KOKO is a restored Victorian theatre in Camden, so this is a balcony and tiered floor night more than a warehouse one.
Date: Saturday 17 October, 10pm until 5am, 19+. Location: KOKO, 1a Camden High Street, NW1 7JE. Book now.

Chris Avantgarde at Outernet Live

#FLODown: Chris Avantgarde takes over HERE at Outernet with the live world of his debut album Hyperreal, built on cinematic sound design and melodic techno. The London based producer and composer is known for his work with Anyma on Consciousness, Eternity and Simulation. Outernet is the newest of these venues, off Denmark Street, with floor to ceiling screens wrapping the room, so the visuals carry as much of the show as the music.
Date: Saturday 17 October, 10pm until 4am, 18+. Location: Outernet Live, Denmark Street, WC2H. Price: £30.90. Book now.

Takuya Nakamura (Live)

#FLODown: The New York based Japanese artist plays his biggest London headline show, a live set rather than a DJ set, presented by fabric and Origins at EartH. Nakamura is a trumpeter and keyboard player who came up through the New York jazz and dance scenes, and the show pulls jazz and electronics into drum and bass and jungle. EartH is a former Dalston cinema left in its unrestored state, which suits the music.
Date: Saturday 17 October, 11pm until 3.30am, 18+, Location: EartH, 13 Stoke Newington Road, N16 8BH. Book now.

Elata meets Slate: 3rd Anniversary 24h Edition

Lobster makes his Elata debut, Olivia Mendez plays vinyl only, Pierce makes his UK debut and Armando and Ikiir of Slate play their first London sets. No timetable is published, which is the point. The two parts are separate tickets.
Date: Saturday 17 October, 11pm until 7am, then Sunday 18 October, 9am until 11pm. Location: Gaffe, 1 Anthony Way, N18 3QT, then Number 90, 90 Wallis Road, E9 5LN. Price: from £14.10. Book Saturday and Book Sunday
