Zombie Fest 9 is set to bring one of the biggest celebrations of British dance music to Cambridge Junction this Halloween, with more than 90 acts, six stages and 12 hours of music on Saturday 31 October 2026.
Returning for its ninth edition, the Cambridge festival will bring together artists from across the electronic music spectrum, spanning 90s and 00s dance, jungle, drum & bass, house, hardcore, hardstyle, trance, UK Garage and breaks.
The extensive line-up features a host of established names, including N-Trance, Stanton Warriors, Jaguar Skills, Barry Ashworth of Dub Pistols, Mr C, Ultrabeat, Ratpack, Dougal, Slipmatt, Grooverider, Logan D, Lisa Pin-Up, Rob Tissera, Alex P, Scott Garcia and MC Vapour, alongside dozens of additional DJs and live performers.
The festival’s appeal lies in its crossover approach to dance music, bringing different eras and scenes together across six stages. N-Trance will perform their iconic 90s anthem Set You Free, while Ultrabeat will bring the early-2000s favourite Pretty Green Eyes. UK Garage will be represented by Scott Garcia and MC Vapour, with drum & bass pioneer Grooverider joined by jungle and rave favourites including Ratpack, Dougal and Slipmatt.
Also on the bill is Jaguar Skills, renowned for his high-energy megamixes and mash-ups, alongside breakbeat favourites Stanton Warriors.
From The Voice to Zombie Fest
The festival will also feature Triple Threat, who recently appeared on ITV’s The Voice and were selected by will.i.am. The group, who are due to return to the programme soon, will now bring their performance to the Zombie Fest stage, adding a contemporary live element to a bill largely rooted in dance music culture.
But Zombie Fest 9 is designed to be more than a series of DJ sets. Cambridge Junction will be transformed into a Halloween environment, with interactive characters roaming throughout the venue, meet-and-greet experiences and photo opportunities for festival-goers.
For those looking for an upgraded experience, the VIP offering includes Q-Jump access, a premium VIP bar, luxury sofas and private toilets.
Nine Editions of Rave History
Zombie Fest began in 2015 at Mildenhall Stadium as an all-night event running from 6pm until 6am. Over the years, the festival expanded to as many as 10 stages and 150 artists, attracting audiences of up to 2,500 people.
The event moved to Hi Cambridge in 2023 before relocating to Cambridge Junction in 2025. Its history includes performances from major names such as Chase & Status, Pendulum, Andy C, Paul Oakenfold, Judge Jules, So Solid Crew, Baby D, Fabio & Grooverider, DJ Hype, Jaguar Skills and Ultrabeat.
The festival has also been recognised as a three-time UK Festival Awards finalist, receiving nominations for Best Small Festival in 2017 and 2018 and the Grassroots Festival Award in 2018.
Now, Zombie Fest 9 represents another milestone for the event, with organisers expecting it to become the biggest music event ever hosted at Cambridge Junction. With the festival’s 10th edition already being discussed under the working title ZF-X, the brand is already looking towards its next chapter.
Zombie Fest 9 takes place at Cambridge Junction on Saturday 31 October 2026.
