John Summit brings ‘Experts Only’ to the UK for exclusive 2026 open-air debut at Tofte Manor

John Summit will make a major return to the UK next summer as Labyrinth Events confirms an exclusive 2026 edition of ‘Experts Only’ at Bedfordshire’s iconic Tofte Manor. Taking place on 11th July, the show marks John Summit’s first-ever UK open-air headline appearance, while also introducing the ‘Experts Only’ experience to the country for the very first time.

As anticipation rises, Labyrinth adds Summit as the final announcement in its 2026 Tofte Manor series, reinforcing the venue’s reputation for intimate yet forward-thinking festival programming. With the event set within the estate’s magical woodland, the all-day gathering promises a bespoke outdoor production designed specifically for Summit’s high-energy aesthetic.

Meanwhile, Summit continues his rapid ascent across the global stage. He recently sold out London’s O2, followed an instant sell-out at O2 Academy Brixton earlier in the year, and launched the Experts Only Festival NYC, drawing 50,000 fans to Randall’s Island. Throughout his career, Summit has amassed more than 1.5 billion streams, landed multiple #1 US dance radio hits, and delivered standout performances at venues including Madison Square Garden and the Kia Forum.

Built around creative freedom, ‘Experts Only’ has evolved into a worldwide movement. From Ibiza takeovers to large-scale US events, the concept transforms unconventional spaces into high-impact rave environments. Therefore, its arrival at Tofte Manor sets the stage for two immersive areas of music, large-scale visual design, wellness programming, and curated food and drink from local partners.

Finally, the 2026 Labyrinth Open Air series concludes with Summit’s event, following appearances by The Kooks, Sasha & John Digweed, and Sugababes — cementing Tofte Manor as one of the UK’s most exciting boutique festival destinations.
