The Cause's annual Good Friday festival is one of the most anticipated events on London's electronic music calendar — and "A Very Very Good Friday" 2026 is shaping up to be the biggest edition yet. Taking place on 3 April 2026 from 12pm at The Cause, Royal Docks (Canning Town, E16), this is a proper all-day endurance fest in one of East London's best club spaces.
The Cause is a festival-scale outdoor/indoor venue built across a concrete playground beside the London Docklands. For Good Friday, they open every corner of the site across 7+ dancefloors for twelve straight hours of music. The Phase 1 lineup for 2026 features Cybotron LIVE, Ellen Allien b2b Dr Rubinstein, Ross From Friends (DJ), Detroit In Effect b2b FREAKENSTEIN, Hannah Holland, James Massiah, Jos Steven, Julien: 808 Prince LIVE, System Olympia, Tee Tee, and Weval (DJ), with more still to be announced.
The musical policy spans the breadth of underground electronic music — expect techno, electro, house, and everything in the spaces between. Past Good Friday editions have seen headliners including Todd Terje, Special Request, and Jayda G. The 2026 lineup carries that same across-the-spectrum ambition.
As well as the music, The Cause hosts a range of food vendors to keep you fuelled through a long day of dancing. The outdoor space adds a festival dimension that few London venues can match. Doors open at 12pm; plan accordingly for a full day.
