LAB11's new woodland festival Off Grid unveils debut lineup for 2026

The team behind Birmingham's beloved LAB11 are escaping into the woods this August Bank Holiday. Out there, lost amongst the trees, they're launching a brand-new festival, and they're inviting you to disconnect from life and reconnect with the dancefloor.

Off Grid Festival, launching its first chapter on Sunday 30th August, transforms Bassets Pole, a previously untouched site in Sutton Coldfield, into a day-long celebration of house, garage and electronic music, built around a simple ethos: "no signal, no distractions, just real music from start to finish."

With the first lineup announcement led by Hannah Wants, Sam Divine, Todd Edwards, Majestic, and a to-be-announced special guest headliner, the first glimpse of Off Grid suggests a festival built around music, nature and escapism in equal measure.

Described by organisers as "a new world" hidden beyond the city, Off Grid marks the first chapter of a brand-new festival concept from the creators of LAB11, bringing two stages of electronic music to a woodland setting in the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield.

Alongside the headline names, festivalgoers can expect sets from Alex Mills, Smokey Bubblin' B, State 8, Beyond Chicago, James Poole, Guy Burns, In Parallel, Chad Harrison and more, showcasing a mix of established selectors and rising talent from across the house and garage spectrum.

With a promise of music, nature, and escape away from the distractions of everyday life, it's time to go Off Grid.
