LEAF has today announced some new additions to the bill for the first London Electronic Arts Festival this November. To celebrate the inaugural LEAF event, Duke Dumont, Le Youth and Monki will play the opening party in association with Bugged Out at the LEAF HUB in the Shoreditch Electric Light Station.  

One of 2013’s breakout successes, Duke Dumont will be joined by Le Youth and Monki, bringing his own unique West Coast sound to London, to kick things off at the LEAF HUB on 7th November and ensure the first ever LEAF begins with a bang. 

Closing the festival, LEAF is proud to present Beardyman at The Oval Space on 10th November, the innovative musician, performer and consummate showman who will bring his Beardytron to London, following a rapt reception at TED earlier this year. 

In between these two shows, Chris Liebing will play an extended set at a secret east London warehouse location at a party in partnership with London Warehouse Events and Diplo will headline a show at The Oval Space, Bethnal Green following straight after the sold out Major Lazer show at O2 Academy Brixton. The event will start at midnight and run through to 4.30am. 

* PLEASE NOTE VENUE CHANGE: OMAR SOULEYMAN WILL NOW BE APPEARING AT THE LAUNDRY, E2 ON SUNDAY 10 NOVEMBER AND NOT AT THE OVAL SPACE AS PREVIOUSLY ADVERTISED.
