Polygon Live LDN

Welcome to the largest outdoor 360º spatial audio event ever to hit the UK

For three unforgettable days from 2 to 4 May 2025, Polygon Live LDN will transform Crystal Palace Park into a multisensory playground. Step inside our two fully covered 360º domes and immerse yourself inside the music of an exquisite line-up of artists. 

In live events, spatial audio is almost impossible to find. Come and experience it for yourself and be part of music history.

Spatialised sound, synchronised lighting

To stand inside a Polygon dome is to experience an unparalleled 12.1.4 immersive system: 12 pristine L-Acoustics speaker arrays around the audience, one giant festival-grade wall of subs, and four overhead line arrays raining crystal-clear sound from above. The total count amounts to a little less than 100 speakers in over 25 unique positions. That’s five times the speakers a stage of similar size would use. 

But it’s not just the quality and quantity of speakers that we put first. It’s about using this complex system to spatialise the music. Pay attention to how it’s moving — really moving — all around. The bass thundering from below, the bells tinkling behind you, the high hats climbing to a crescendo overhead.

And between every speaker, a lattice of perfectly synchronised lighting.

The network of LEDs that cocoons the Polygon stage is programmed to shimmer, pulse and swirl precisely in time with the music. You’d be transported to another dimension if the dancing didn’t keep you grounded. 

The domes will be entirely covered, creating a warm, dry and comfortable space from which to enjoy the music.

VIPS enjoy more

Polygon’s modus operandi is to make the ordinary extraordinary — and this applies just as much to our VIP experience as it does to our sound.

At Polygon Live LDN, VIPs won’t just enjoy the typical perks you might expect, such as queue fast-track, access to the VIP bar area, and private bathrooms. Instead, they’ll enter a truly exclusive space that has been carefully curated for discerning audiophiles and music lovers who accept nothing but the best. Our exceptional food and beverage team will be your hosts for the evening.

True to our roots, our backstage area prioritises sound. It features a never-before-seen viewing platform with its own dedicated spatial audio sound system. This means that you can experience the music our genre-defying artists are performing in full spatial audio, without needing to go into the crowd. It’s the energy without the intensity; the movement without the masses.

Accessibility information

Polygon Live is a green-field site that is relatively flat and has some natural pathways and hard standing areas to and from the site (i.e. within the park itself). The Polygon domes will be positioned beneath Valhalla tents that will be large enough to shelter the entire audience, as well as some stalls and marquees.
That said, this is an open-air event and you will not be under cover when you move between areas. Ground conditions are therefore weather dependent. If we experience extreme weather the ground may become muddy and the grass may get churned up. While our festival team will do what they can to prevent this, it does mean that mobility across the site may become compromised. Please consider this when buying a ticket.
Please also note that we do not have parking on site, and so blue badge holders are advised to review Crystal Palace Park and Bromley Council information pages for the nearest suitable parking areas.

Personal assistant tickets

We run a complimentary personal assistant ticketing scheme for customers who wouldn’t be able to attend the festival without the aid of another person. You need to be in receipt of a PIP/DLA or equivalent to qualify. Please send your details to events@polygon-productions.com to apply for a personal assistant pass.

A note on our partners

To bring Polygon Live LDN to life, we’re delighted to be working with our official media partner, Metro; our events partner, TOKEN2049; our technical partner, L-Acoustics; and our two promotional partners, Full Fat Events and OpenLab.
