Technics presents The DMC World DJ Championships 2026 Uk Final

Following the huge success of DMC40 in Tokyo in 2025, the world’s greatest DJ show returns to London at legendary Camden venue, Koko, this November,. Three days of galactic-level DJ competition, Hall Of Fame Awards, live rap performances, BBoy battles, beatbox showcases and graffiti art celebrations 

But before the World Finals comes the fight for the crown on home soil.

This year the UK Final lands in Bristol, where the nation’s finest turntablists go head-to-head for their place at the DMC World DJ Championships 2026.

Over the years the competition has taken over legendary venues including Shepherd’s Bush Empire, Hammersmith Apollo and a massive stage take over at Boomtown Festival.

Now, in 2026, the championship arrives at one of the UK’s most iconic music venues — Bristol’s legendary Thekla — in a city long celebrated for its rich musical heritage and underground culture.

The roll call of past UK Champions reads like a festival headline poster: Cutmaster Swift, Chad Jackson, DJ Pogo, Mr Switch, Plus One (Scratch Perverts) and JFB have all lifted the trophy, while turntablist heavyweights including Tony Vegas (Scratch Perverts), Mr Thing, Jon1st and Woody have all reached the DMC podium.

FULL BRISTOL LINE UP ANNOUNCEMENT: Wednesday 21st July.
