Boiler Room returned to South London for a two-day takeover, welcoming sold-out audiences across both days. The programme spanned genre-defining pioneers and emerging talent, with performances from: Freddie Gibbs, Underworld, Joy Orbison, Yousuke Yukimatsu, DJ AG & Friends and more. Each day offered a distinct experience, requiring the park to be reimagined overnight to deliver two unique shows.

This was not The Fair‘s first rodeo with Boiler Room, having produced the first-ever Boiler Room day festival at East London’s Three Mills Island, previous Burgess Park editions, and Boiler Room: Miami.

This time, the brief was to deliver a site and operational design that could hold onto the essence of Boiler Room’s identity – intimacy and participation – while ensuring the infrastructure and safety standards required of a major outdoor festival were met. Each day was programmed to be distinct, meaning the site had to transform overnight, presenting a rare challenge in both speed and precision.

Our team oversaw all aspects of production and site design, delivering a four-stage festival that balanced Boiler Room’s trademark energy with robust operational planning. Overnight site reconfigurations were executed seamlessly, while tailored ingress strategies ensured smooth audience arrivals despite sold-out demand. Crowd management plans for the ‘people stages’ maintained the festival’s raw, participatory energy without compromising safety.
