Torre Abbey, Torquay
Promoters Louder and Beatz n Bobz have officially announced the triumphant return of Electric Bay 2027, marking a milestone fifth anniversary for the festival in Torquay. Solidifying its reputation as one of the most anticipated Devon festivals, the event transforms the stunning English Riviera into the ultimate open-air arena. Dance music pioneer Pete Tong MBE will headline Saturday 10th July 2027 with his globally acclaimed Ibiza Classics show, performing alongside conductor Tom Richards and the Essential Orchestra. Tong is set to reimagine the genre's most iconic club anthems with a powerful, live orchestral performance right on the Devon coast, raising the bar for Torquay events and summer music highlights in the South West.
This monumental anniversary lineup brings a massive boost to Devon nightlife, drawing an elite vanguard of electronic music royalty to the South West. Joining the Saturday bill is Bristol's house music heavyweight Eats Everything, bringing his infectious rave energy back to his home region. Highlighting the festival's deep roots, the undisputed "Godfather of House" Marshall Jefferson will bring his legendary Chicago sound to the bay, alongside Manchester icon and DJ Mag Lifetime Achievement Award winner DJ Paulette. With more special guests still to be revealed, this open-air summer spectacular is set to be the crown jewel of the region's 2027 party calendar.
