Meet the DJs, dancers and crews behind London’s biggest queer rave

London’s largest LGBTQ+ electronic music festival returns this summer for a third year in a row. Taking place at its usual Hackney Wick watering hole, Body Movements hosts thousands of attendees and over 60 artists and DJs, with this year promising to be the most exciting instalment yet.

In February, the festival launched its first ever winter edition held at Printworks, with a line-up that included the likes of Bored Lord, Cobrah and Crystallmess, to name a few. The event was a welcome surprise to Body Movements fans, who are used to having to wait a full year for the event. “The queer clubbing community deserves to take over phenomenal spaces such as Printworks, giving our community a rare chance to showcase their talent on a huge scale,” says festival co-founder Saoirse Ryan, “our ethos is about visibility, to platform queer artists to a wider audience. Local talent will always be at the forefront of our events and we are excited to platform more incredible queer DJs, live acts and performers in exciting spaces in the future.”
