Late night Fireplace DJ takeover at The Workman’s Club Main Bar:

Extending the energy beyond the live stages, this year’s Fireplace Bar DJ takeovers bring together artists from across Borderline’s evolving story. Brooki, Bleech 9:3 and Black Nylon, all performing as part of the 2026 lineup, join forces behind the decks alongside Theatre, one of the standout breakthrough acts from last year’s festival.

Together, they transform the Main Bar into a late night meeting point for artists and audiences alike, carrying the momentum of the weekend into the early hours and embodying the sense of continuity that defines Borderline: performers debut, return and help shape the atmosphere for the next wave coming through.
