Labyrinth on the Thames was a smashing success.
The festival series – which featured 31 artists across six dates – finished on Sunday with an incredible weekend line-up featuring FISHER and Anjunadeep Open Air.
The juxtaposition of the pounding music and the serene scenes of the Old Royal Naval College saw concert-goers rave while taking in the sights of the UNESCO World Heritage site against the backdrop of the Thames.
Organisers announced yesterday (12 August) that the event had sold 57,000 tickets – effectively selling out in its debut year.
The series featured other artists such as Empire of the Sun, who performed their first London show in six years, Solomun and Black Coffee.
VIP and backstage-ticket holders received an extra treat with access to a private bar inside the Painted Hall with its painted ceiling often referred to as ‘Britain’s Sistine Chapel’.
The event was not just for entertainment; organisers said it also raised funds for Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice through on-site charity activations – though it has not specified the sum.
“We’re all ecstatic with how the series has panned out,” said Nick Castleman, co-founder of Labyrinth Events, in an extract from a statement.
“We made a conscious decision to go all in on production and infrastructure this summer, to ensure this was a world class production and operation fit for this historic venue.
“The feedback from the artists, industry and fans has been beyond our wildest dreams and we’re all so excited to see how we can develop this concept year on year to create a summer gem for London.”
Meanwhile, Kate Miners, who is the director of public engagement & commercial at Old Royal Naval College, said the college was “proud” to still be “making history” after 600 years.
