Unfold 30th Aug
Hi All,
Just wondering what time you need to arrive to realistically have a chance of entering. The last 24hr we tried to go to at Fold was on NYE and we arrived at 4.30ish - waited for 1.5hrs and had to leave cos the queue wasnt moving as they were doing one in one out. Was bloody freezing aswell lol.
We are happy to be there at 14:00 when it starts but just wondering how much of a queue there will be pre 2pm.
to the hottest dancer
long shot;
the whimsical being who joined me next to the bar for a hot dance during Kameliia—THANK YOU!
gonna cherish this moment for a long time! it’s rare when i meet another dancer on the floor. (don’t get me wrong we are all dancers, but some dance with entire bodies, other just stomp around). i hope we could have another opportunity to merge with the background <3
big kiss, you rocked alongside my hips and made my eve <3
NPC crowd
Surely I’m not the only one feeling this way…
Don’t get it why some of the visitors are complete NPC’s with 0 spatial awareness and common sense.
Dance floor is for dancing not barging through everyone and then standing looking around and 2 sec later waking the completely opposite direction…like instead why can’t they actually dance and not be a nuisance.
Don’t get it if it’s the drugs or just people being not educated enough about the dance floor etiquette.
Food for thought.
Mala Junta at Fold
Hi,
Last year I had the best time of my life with Mala Junta at Fold (September). Sadly I have not seen any announcement from them to come back to London in 2026. Does anyone know if they are coming back?
Or any recommendation for any one off party with a similar vibe? Thx
Seeking Participants for my Dissertation Research on Techno, Community and Identity in London
Hello all,
I am a current Masters MMus student at Royal Holloway, University of London, researching for a dissertation on the social sentiments and counterculture surrounding the techno scene in London, studying music's role in the creation of countercultural identities.
For my research, I am looking for participants who would like to share their thoughts on and experiences of techno in London. I have created Google forms for the purpose, linked below: the first is for people who just attend events, and the second is for people who also DJ or promote.
This is aimed at those involved with the London techno scene specifically, or anyone who has been part of it within the last 10-20 years.
Any unstarred questions, including (but not limited to) those regarding name, contact details and demographics, are optional and can be left blank. The only starred questions are for consent, as I cannot use any responses without full consent.
Please read the information sheet included in the form before participating: if you have any further questions or issues, do not hesitate to contact me using the email address stated on the information sheet.
Thank you everyone!

Getting into UNFOLD as someone getting back into clubs
I’m a straight, white male, mid-40s. I’m no stranger to the techno scene. I used to live in Berlin and go to Tesor and Ostgut. I’ve been to countless Lost parties in London etc etc.
I haven’t been to a club outside of a festival environment for years, but I’m really intrigued by Unfold next Sunday, especially the idea that I can be in bed by midnight!
What I have no idea of is their door policy. The website says you’re not guaranteed entry even if you have a ticket, and that they have discretion on who they let in.
Is this some kind of Betghain situation where I have to dress a certain way or do they just mean they’re not letting in groups of pissed up bigoted idiots?!
If I went alone as a straight white man in his 40s wearing jeans and a T-shirt am I hurting my chances at getting in, or am I overthinking this?
Thanks!
Maiden Voyage Stage
Right, what’s the consensus? Me and my friend and plenty of people I talked to found it incredibly mid! I was so disappointed considering last year was mind blowingly good
Consent/ safety monitors
I am hoping to do a facilitation training in London this year.
I have been involved with a few circles at festivals with regards to consent and a few folk have said I should facilitate, but I don’t have any training.
I’m asking on here because I know there are monitors etc at FOLD, and wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction to get trained in London?
There’s loads after a google search but I’d like a personal recommendation.
Thanks!
Photo Scanner Thingy?
Hey so i saw some girls @ the SLIVER event Saturday using these light rods on themselfs. Asked them they said its a scanner thing because we not allowed to take photos. Anyone know more about this method and have any pictures i can see what the final result of these scans look like?
This is a sub for UNFOLD not a place for you to find maiden voyage tickets x
Just a FYI
Djs at Maiden Voyage
