There can't be many better places to spend a summer Sunday in London than the Old Royal Naval College. With its stunning riverside setting and historic architecture, Labyrinth on the Thames feels a world away from the usual festival field.
Before a note had even been played by the headliner, there was already a clear sign of who the crowd had come to see. You couldn't go far without spotting the bright red Peggy Gou FC football shirt, complete with her trademark lobster motif. Released as limited-edition memorabilia exclusively for the Greenwich show, the jerseys were everywhere, giving the event the feel of a football away day mixed with a club culture pilgrimage.
After an early opening from Daisybelle, Kelly Lee Owens got things moving with her dreamy mix of melodic techno and synth-heavy electronica. As the afternoon rolled on, her set provided the perfect soundtrack, building the atmosphere without forcing the pace.
MPH took things up a gear, bringing a barrage of basslines and UK garage rhythms that got the crowd fully locked in. His set was energetic, punchy and packed with the sort of moments that had heads nodding and hands in the air throughout.
Prospa kept the momentum going and arguably stole the show before the headliner arrived. Their blend of rave nostalgia, euphoric house and festival energy felt tailor-made for an outdoor setting. House pianos rang out across the grounds while the crowd bounced from one drop to the next.
For those watching from the exclusive vantage point of the Painted Hall VIP area, Sunday's headline set felt every bit the occasion it had been billed to be.
Making her London return, Peggy Gou delivered a slick, feel-good performance that moved effortlessly between house, techno and disco influences. Balancing big crowd-pleasers with deeper cuts, she kept the energy flowing as darkness fell on the iconic backdrop of Canary Wharf.
What makes Peggy Gou such a compelling performer is that she never feels like she's trying too hard. There's a confidence and ease to her sets that allows the music to do the talking, and in such a spectacular setting that approach worked perfectly.
As the final tracks echoed around the Old Royal Naval College, it was easy to see why Labyrinth on the Thames has become one of London's standout summer music events. With a stacked supporting lineup, a spectacular setting and a headline performance that delivered from start to finish, this was a Sunday well spent in Greenwich.
