DIY Alive Festival

DIY Magazine and Gotobeat present DIY Alive 2026

DIY Alive is back! Four years after our inaugural edition, we're returning to East London's EartH for another full day of live music, talks, Q&As and more, bringing the spirit of DIY Magazine to the heart of Dalston.

Taking place across three spaces within EartH on Saturday 3rd October, DIY Alive 2026 will celebrate some of our favourite artists, new and established, alongside conversations and activities exploring the wider creative world around them.

We're thrilled to have Sports Team headlining this year's festival, almost a decade after they first appeared on one of DIY's live bills. Joining them on the main stage will be 

Walt Disco, FEET, Porij, Picture Parlour, Master Peace, and Dead Dads Club, making for one seriously stacked day of live music.

Meanwhile, Nell Mescal will be topping the bill on the more intimate Theatre Stage, alongside Gretel, Esme Emerson, Raynor, Unflirt, and Martial Arts. 

And that's still not everything; we've also got additional education-based talks and activities still to be announced ahead of our EartH takeover next month. 

DIY Alive 2026 takes place at EartH, London on Saturday 3rd October. Tickets are on sale now; we'll see you down the front!
