Magazine Open—Air is set to become one of London’s key summer music series, bringing outdoor shows to the Greenwich Peninsula from August 2026. Broadwick Live is using the riverside site to create a roofless dancefloor where daytime sets run into the evening with the London skyline in view. The season is built around a run of carefully planned shows rather than a full-scale festival, with Broadwick Live stating that the idea is to move music outside and give people a new way to experience it, with each event designed to make the most of the open-air setting.
The programme starts on Friday 14 August with MEDUZA and James Hype under their Our House project, followed by Josh Baker b2b Max Dean on Saturday 15 August. Sunday 16 August is a Soulection showcase celebrating its 15th anniversary, while Friday 21 August brings a mammoth B2B by Amelie Lens & Sara Landry, an exclusive in the UK.
The second weekend continues on Saturday 22 August with Purple Disco Machine, joined by Flight Facilities, Jayda G, David Bay b2b Julia Sandstorm, and special guest Kirollus. The season finale is set for 23 August, with a RNB & Slow Jams session bringing a closure to their outdoor programme.
What sets Magazine Open—Air apart is the setting itself. The site is described as a never-before-used riverside location on the Thames, with architecture, sound and production all built around the open-air format. Broadwick Live also reinforces that this series is not a festival, but a carefully curated run of individual shows with a strong live experience at the centre. In simple terms, it is meant to feel more focused and more personal than a large multi-stage event as we are used to in London.
