John Summit Presents Experts Only at Tofte Manor, Bedford in 2026

Exciting news! John Summit is bringing Experts Only to Tofte Manor in Bedford next summer on Saturday, 11th July 2026, and it already feels like the summer highlight.

This is the first-ever UK open-air headline show from Summit and the big UK debut for Experts Only. Expect loud grooves, wild bounce and full throttle festival energy from the moment gates open. This is built for people who live for basslines, sweaty sessions and long days under open skies.

Labyrinth Events has turned Tofte Manor into one of the UK’s most loved boutique settings. Each season steps up the levels with bigger ideas, deeper production and a cheeky sense of adventure. The site has seen huge moments from Fatboy Slim Loves, Jungle Curates, Innervisions’ Lost In A Moment and even the worldwide debut of Fred again.. Summit now joins that list with a show that brings serious punch.

Summit is on a charge. Sold out arenas. Viral moments. Endless crowd clips from rooftops, basements and stadiums.

His Experts Only mission has grown from a label into a global movement. Expect tight percussion, chunky low end, glowing synth pressure and that signature Summit build that sends the floor into chaos. It is peak time energy with no limits. It is house with grit, colour and heat. It is the sound that keeps you locked in for hours.

Tofte Manor in Bedford is the perfect fit. Woodland paths. Hidden corners and only fifteen minutes from DT HQ, result!

A vibe that feels more like a secret rave than a standard festival. Two stages, deep visuals, sharp lighting and full sensory impact. Music that hits the body. Space to get lost in the moment. Health and wellness sessions through the day, then pure ignition as the sun drops.

Experts Only has always been about creative freedom and this show pushes that spirit to the front. We are buzzing to have a global name like Summit bringing a huge show this close to home. Big energy for Bedford and a massive win for the local scene.

Fans of John Summit can sign up HERE for pre-sale tickets now. Pre-sale opens at 10am on 12th December, with any remaining general tickets available from 3pm on 12th December.
