Garage Nation

About Garage Nation

The O2 arena puts Garage Nation on arena scale. The 2027 edition is scheduled for 30 May at The O2 arena, London, as a one-night UK garage music event. Its roots sit in the late-'90s UKG era, with the music centred on garage, 2-step and bassline. In 2001, Garage Nation won Best Club Night at the UK Garage Awards.

Who Is It For?

The crowd is an arena-concert one: UK garage, 2-step and bassline fans inside The O2 rather than a camping-festival audience. Standing attendance is part of the format. Bars and food outlets sit inside the arena for the run of the event.

The Venue and Site

Peninsula Square gives the event an indoor London site, with North Greenwich station a short walk from the arena. The O2's biggest live events can reach up to 20,000 capacity. Food and drink come from bars and kitchens inside the arena, with pre-ordering through The O2 venue app.

Event parking is in Car Park 1, with pre-booking via JustPark. Blue badge parking spaces are in all car parks, and accessible ticket booking runs through Nimbus Disability / Access Card.
