The festival also features UK Garage artists Scott Garcia and MC Vapour, alongside drum & bass pioneer Grooverider, reflecting the eventβs celebration of multiple generations of rave culture.
Jaguar Skills, known for his energetic megamixes and mash-ups, and Stanton Warriors, internationally recognised for their breakbeat contributions, will also perform. Adding to the live entertainment, Triple Threat -recently featured on ITV's The Voice and selected by will.i.am - will appear at the festival.
Beyond music, Zombie Fest 9 will transform Cambridge Junction into an immersive Halloween environment with six themed music areas, roaming Halloween characters, meet-and-greet experiences, and photo opportunities. A VIP area will offer premium amenities including queue-jump access, a luxury bar, sofas, and private toilets.
The celebrations will continue with AFTERLIFE, the official afterparty headlined by internet sensation Fish56Octagon, extending the festivities into the early hours.
Since its inception in 2015 at Mildenhall Stadium, Zombie Fest has grown from a local all-night event into one of East Angliaβs key dance music festivals. It moved to Hi Cambridge in 2023 before relocating to Cambridge Junction in 2025, steadily increasing its scale and profile. Past editions have featured major artists such as Chase & Status, Pendulum, Andy C, Paul Oakenfold, Judge Jules, So Solid Crew, Baby D, Fabio & Grooverider, and DJ Hype.
The festival has earned recognition with three UK Festival Awards finalist nominations, including Best Small Festival in 2017 and 2018, and won the Grassroots Festival Award in 2018.
Organisers anticipate Zombie Fest 9 will be the biggest music event yet at Cambridge Junction and are planning the tenth edition, provisionally titled ZF-X.
Tickets for Zombie Fest 9 are on sale, with early-bird tickets already sold out. The event is expected to attract both local audiences and visitors for a unique Halloween celebration of electronic music and culture.
