LONDON DECOMPRESSION
Docklands, East London
Saturday 15 November 2025
Step through the prism. Melt into the music. Bloom in the light.
The Man has burned, the dust has settled, and we gather to celebrate everything radiant and wonderful. Step into the Kaleidoscapes and wander through a grove where every leaf is a mirror, every spore a spark of light, and every shard a future waiting to unfold.
The night becomes a temple where perception bends and transforms —what do you see? What visions shimmer back at you? The prism shatters, and the night itself begins again. Nothing stays still—identities dissolve, everything scatters and recombines in luminous loops of becoming. Close your eyes… what do you see?
THE EXPERIENCE
From the curious and creative imaginations of our co-creation team comes a community experience designed to transform your reality.
✨ Doors open at 6 pm — and from that moment, reality begins to refract.
OPENING CEREMONY
We begin together — with drums, rhythm, and wild joy.
Our opening ceremony DJs begin at 6pm to ignite the night with a pulse of connection as the Sambattalion drummers summon the rhythm of rebirth.
Welcoming you home and on the warehouse terrace, a 30-strong team of fire performers light up the dusk before the Eyerena Showcase unfolds — aerial artistry, comedy, and dazzling performances — culminating in our techno ceilidh, calling dancers to the floor.
Step into the eye of our space. Move as one. Let the evening bloom.
OUTDOORS
From 6 – 10 pm, explore a full spectrum of live music, fire and aerial performances, and hidden surprises scattered through the night.
The Eyerena tent and warehouse terrace become a living kaleidoscope of art, music, and movement.
Dance beneath The Eyerena, explore bars and installations including Hot Mess’s Murmuration fire art, and encounter a constellation of art pieces and performances woven throughout the outdoor spaces. Participate in a ceilidh (with live band) or lose yourself in the Eyerena cabaret, a mesmerizing showcase of spectacle and wonder.
The Church of Dave will be open all night at the production terrace — inviting you into their surreal Temple of ritual, eco-reflection, and absurd devotion.
After 10 pm, the night softens into an immersive hush:
the heated Eyerena Silent Disco runs until 3 am with a double-DJ lineup, while performance pop-ups and a chill space keep the energy glowing until dawn.
Outdoor Co-Creation Spaces & Theme Camps
The Eyerena (Main Tent) — The vibrant heart of Decom: a truly co-created space of art, performers, DJs, and décor. Here the Decom team unites to build a central hub of kaleidoscopic creativity and joy. Delight in a cabaret showcase of spectacle and surprise — from aerial artistry and burlesque allure to bubble enchantment and roller-skating shibari. Expect the unexpected as performers blur the lines between fantasy and festivity.
Church of Dave (Terrace) — Step into their Temple to co-create a surreal and meaningful sacred space, where you will oscillate between themes of sincere veneration for the natural world, insightful eco-education, communal catharsis, satirical devotion, to all out absurdist chaos.
Hot Mess (Garden) — Play with fire and be mesmerised by Murmuration, their hypnotic upside-down flame sculpture illuminating the night.
INDOORS
Enter seven (!) dazzling rooms — Pamoja, Celtic Chaos, MoonCows, Psychedellyfish, Camp Costume Camp, Lusty Flamingos in Space, and (if you can find them) Bobby Badger’s Sett of Quests — plus countless hidden corners, each a portal into another dimension of Kaleidoscapes.
The evening begins as Celtic Chaos opens the Hot House at 6 pm with mythic workshops and live music.
From 9 pm, the full indoor realm awakens into a kaleidoscopic explosion of performances, cabarets, dance floors, and over a dozen art installations to lose — and find — yourself in.
Indoor Co-Creation Spaces & Theme Camps
Pamoja (Warehouse) — Let the rhythms transport you into their African desert home, alive with togetherness and colour. Discover the mezzanine space hosting a constellation of art and visual collaborations.
Celtic Chaos (Hot House) — Lose yourself in the Celtic stronghold fusing Irish sessions, house & techno, drum circles, and wild communal celebration.
Bobby Badger’s Sett of Quests (Secret Room) — A secret(ish) cult where worshippers receive quests and life-changing gifts.
MoonCows (The Loft) — Majestic cows have landed on the Moon! Enter their Astro-Theatre of celestial DJs, opera, and dreamy gongs. Aliens welcome. Galaxies await.
CCCostumes & Chill (Brut) — A fashion hub and chill zone hosting consent badge-making, make-up, and massage for rejuvenation and sparkle.
Psychedellyfish (Gallery) — Dance in the mirrored throne room of the Jelly Queen, stay for the tunes dispensed by the royal entertainers throughout the night.
Lusty Flamingos in Space (Boiler Room) — A cosmic playground of DJs, projected visuals, “beam me up” podiums, pole dancers, and lessons. Be prepared to physically vibrate with pleasure. .
CO-CREATED MAGIC
MIRROR
In the Temple of Perspections, every angle bends and multiplies.
What you see is never just reflection – it’s refraction, distortion, revelation.
Glimpse yourself through the eyes of others, through shifting shards of glass and shadow.
You are the illusion and the light behind it.
MELT
Step into the Circus of Lunacy, where certainty dissolves and edges blur.
Logic drips, colour spills, and identities slide like wax in the heat of becoming.
Melt into rhythm, laughter, and lunacy – a joyful surrender to the flux.
In chaos, find your flow. In absurdity, find your truth.
BLOOM
Wander through the Landscape, where the surreal takes root and nature reclaims the night.
Out of fractured glass and melted forms, something new takes shape, radiant and alive.
Everything decomposes, transforms, and glows again.
THE KALEIDOSCAPES AWAKE
This is our Visual Wonder – where illusion meets imagination.
All that mirrors, melts, and blooms becomes one dazzling whole:
a moving prism of bodies, lights, and dreams colliding in radiant rebirth.
Step through. See anew. Become part of the pattern.
AN INCLUSIVE SPACE
FOR EVERYONE
London Decom is explicitly anti sexist anti racist and underpinned by consent. This is unbelievably serious, and makes our events unbelievably magical.
Read the principles, learn them, they will show you the way.
A CHANCE TO LEARN
Revelry isn’t everything. Decompression is also a space where we get the chance to teach each other. Learn a skill, learn about yourselves, master something new in one of our workshops on everything from clowning to poetry to quantum mechanics.
