Half Baked x Art Of Dark Announce NYD 2026 Return

Half Baked and Art Of Dark have confirmed their full return to Hackney Wick this New Year’s Day, marking six years since the two crews first joined forces in a single room at the old Number 94. What began as an intimate collab has now grown into one of London’s defining NYD traditions. A multi-venue takeover spanning 94 Lock, 92 Hideout, Number 90 and The Boat, drawing dancers from across the world.

This year’s format stays true to the blueprint:
Art Of Dark at 94 Lock from 10AM, Half Baked at 92 Hideout from midday, a dedicated chill-out zone at Number 90 from 1PM, and a joint HB x AOD session on The Boat from 1PM.

And while the full roll-call is stacked, a few standouts signal the tone for 2026: Jane Fitz returns as one of the day’s most trusted selectors, the NorthSouth trio (Harry McCanna, Sam Bangura and Dale Mussington) bring their trademark precision, Unai Trotti represents the cutting edge of London underground and Tristan da Cunha injects the kind of groove-driven mischief that’s become synonymous with HB x AOD’s NYD energy.

With after-party details still under wraps, anticipation is already building for the next chapter of this now-classic January pilgrimage.
