The LGBTQIA+ festival is also welcoming a selection of promoters, collectives and crews such as Adonis, PXSSY PALACE and Technomate and more.

Body Movements has also confirmed details of its new location for 2024, which will see it move from its multi-venue home of Hackney Wick to Southwark Park in South London.

Dubbed the "new playground", Southwark Park will host over 50 artists across five custom stages - all decked out with "high-end" sound and lighting.

In a statement on Instagram, the team behind Body Movements said: "We were dreaming of a space that we could call our own, safe and sheltered but vast and open, a space where queer expression could thrive."

"We never imagined this project would grow from a DIY, radical queer gathering in Hackney Wick to having the opportunity to develop into an open space," the statement continues.

It adds: "We are on a mission to curate London's first outdoor, queer, dance music festival. A place to play, dance, celebrate, connect, and empower queer bodies. Out in the open, beneath the trees."

This year has already seen Body Movements hold its winter edition across 11 spaces in Hackney Wick with a line-up including FAFF, GIDEÖN, Hannah Holland and more.

Body Movements summer edition will be taking place August 25 in Southwark Park. Get tickets here and check out the full line-up below.
