Clockstock Festival

About Clockstock Festival

Clockstock was born in 2019, when Clockwork Orange took a new festival format to Chelmsford Racecourse. The 2024 edition marked Clockwork Orange's 30th anniversary. For 2027, Clockstock Festival lands at Barking Park, Ilford on Saturday 29 May. House and dance sit at the centre of the day. An early edition drew 15,000 people.

Lineup and Programme

The bill leans into house and old-skool dance rather than a mixed-genre day out. Announced acts include Faithless [DJ Set] and Pete Tong. Music runs across multiple stages and arenas. Food and drink run through the day.

Who Is It For?

This is an 18+ day festival, with ID required for entry. The crowd skews older than most dance bills, with long-time Clockwork Orange followers in the frame. The age policy keeps under-18s out.
