Sasha & John Digweed to perform rare five-hour set in 2025
The pair will go back-to-back at Tofte Manor in Bedford, UK, next July
Sasha and John Digweed are set to perform a rare extended back-to-back in the UK next summer.
Due to take place at Tofte Manor – a 17th century manor house set against a countryside backdrop near Bedford – the pair will go toe-to-toe over the course of five hours. News of the extended set follows Digweed's recent hospitalisation after he fell ill in September. He's since been released from hospital.
The event is scheduled to go ahead on July 12, 2025, as part of Labyrinth’s Open Air series, which has previously welcomed the likes of Fred again.., Jungle, Fatboy Slim, Annie Mac, and more.

“Few venues are fit to host a duo of such magnitude, so it seems fitting that Sasha & John now head to the serene surroundings of Tofte Manor for their only B2B performance in the South of the UK next summer,” reads the event’s description.
Calling the show a “historic date” as the two “titans of UK dance music come together”, Labyrinth notes that the show marks a series of unconventional gigs from the duo as they’ve become “synonymous with playing off the beaten track locations”.
In September, John Digweed cancelled a handful of shows after he fell ill. He was hospitalised in Los Angeles, although his illness was not confirmed.

Days later, Digweed confirmed that he had been released from hospital, thanking staff and those who wished him well. “No more IV’s,” he said in the post.
“I would like to thank all the doctors and nurses who have taken amazing care of me over the last 10 days. They have been truly amazing especially when so far from home."
