Defected and Glitterbox reveal their line-ups for their separate 2025/26 New Year’s celebrations in London, with iconic O2 Academy Brixton hosting Defected NYE for the first time and Glitterbox returning to KOKO Electronic.

Last year’s sold-out NYE party saw Defected and Glitterbox come together to deliver impeccable vibes at one of Manchester’s most celebrated venues, The Warehouse Project @ Depot Mayfield. For 2025/26, Defected and Glitterbox are both bringing the party back to their hometown of London for separate parties showcasing their distinct sonics in full. Tickets sold separately.

Defected makes its debut at O2 Academy Brixton, bringing its internationally lauded production and roster of the best house music artists to a venue steeped in music history. German selectors and good friends Kolter and Sidney Charles present their first ever London B2B, with Denis Sulta and Luuk Van Dijk making their label debuts. Dutch duo Shermanology return after multiple successful Defected singles as well as label favourites Ella Knight and Rio Tashan.

The following day, nightlife phenomenon Glitterbox returns to KOKO Electronic after last year’s sold-out NYD party. Hitmaker Mousse T. headlines, with sets from Aroop Roy, Lev and a special guest promising to deliver the instantly recognisable Glitterbox sound fans know and love. Expect world class production and the brand’s signature dancers, performers and drag to kick off 2026 in style.

Fresh off the back of another sold-out takeover of North London venue DRUMSHEDS in September 2025 and their respective Ibiza seasons at Pacha Ibiza and the world’s number one club Hï Ibiza, the demand for Defected and Glitterbox parties in London is higher than ever; fans will want to secure their tickets now for what is sure to be two sold-out shows.

Defected NYE 2025 will take place at O2 Academy Brixton from 9pm – 3am. Sign up for tickets now at https://register.broadwicklive.com/defected-nye.

 Glitterbox NYD 2026 will take place at KOKO Electronic in London from 3pm – 10pm. Tickets are available at https://laylo.com/kokoelectronic/glitterbox-nyd.
