WHO ARE THE LONDON AMBIENT ORCHESTRA? 

The London Ambient Orchestra is a community of improvisers and artists reflective of London’s rich cultural diversity. 

The collective features conservatory educated classical musicians together with members of Penguin Cafe Orchestra and collaborators with Lubomyr Melnyk & Tony Visconti, this is an orchestra but not as you know it… The LAO is an electro-acoustic melange where classical instruments stand side by side with pedal steel guitar, samplers and loops.

Born out of extended jams in back rooms of music conservatories and hidden DIY studio spaces in east London, the LAO has gone on to numerous accolades including: stand out sets at Wilderness Festival, a sell out show at London’s Stone Nest, collaborations with Erased Tapes artist Douglas
Dare. As well as gaining the support of ambient music legend William Basinski.
The music of the LAO is a meditative and exploratory space for stillness, beauty and equanimity.

“This is gorgeous!” William Basinski

“An undoubted highlight of the weekend” - Wilderness Festival

WITH SUPPORT FROM THE MUSIC VENUE TRUST & NATIONAL LOTTERY

Taking place on what would have been the Glastonbury Festival weekend of June 26 to 28, 2026, hundreds of grassroots music venues across the country will unite under the banner of Everywhere At Once for the UK’s largest festival-. LIVE AT ST GILES will host 2 shows across the weekend, featuring London Ambient Orchestra and on Saturday 27th June, Anthony Joseph (a co-pro with Dash The Henge).

Organised by Music Venue Trust, the charity that supports grassroots music venues, and powered by The National Lottery, the festival will celebrate the grassroots network that British music is built on - the places where artists first step on the stage, where Glastonbury headliners hone their craft, and where communities have access to local and affordable live music.
