After celebrating their 10th birthday in 2022, Eastern Electrics will return to the Lee Valley Showground in 2023 with a bigger, better, and bolder mantra. This Saturday, 20,000 ravers will attend, with the organisers promising a bigger lineup, better sound, and bolder production.

Each stage is headed by some of the leading promoters in the UK, covering every corner of House, Techno, Disco, and everything in between.
The new main stage design will see a full-blown Cuttin’ Headz takeover, where the legendary Bronx duo; The Martinez Brothers will showcase their unique sound. The pair will close out the show at 7.30 pm for an extended set. They will also be joined by a very special guest on the day, yet to be announced.
