What we know

Mark Knight leads the bill alongside Mousse T., whose catalogue includes some of house music's most enduring records. They are joined by Junior Jack, Michael Gray and David Penn. The organisers describe all three as artists who have helped shape contemporary house across clubs, festivals and radio.

Further down the lineup are Groove P, Soul Avengerz, Odyssey Inc, Suki Soul, Jaegerossa, Ridney, Paradisco DJs, Damo Wilson, Debora V and Wesley S. Together they cover a broad range of house and disco sounds through the afternoon and evening.

The daytime format runs from 2pm to 10pm. According to the announcement, it puts the focus on the music, connection and atmosphere. The three rooms will mix established names, label favourites and emerging talent.

About the brand

Fool's Paradise is built around soulful, uplifting house that draws on disco, funk and classic club culture. It also aims to stay focused on current dancefloors. The first fabric event was reported to have drawn a packed, multi-generational crowd with a joyous atmosphere that exceeded expectations.

That response is the reason for a second date. The label says The 2nd Chapter builds on that momentum, with a lineup that reflects its growing family and wider musical influences.

Why it matters

A sold-out first night followed by a quick return suggests there is real demand for warm, feel-good house in a daytime slot. It also shows how a label-led party can grow into a recurring event on a major club's calendar. For fans of the genre, it is a chance to hear several generations of house DJs in one building.

If you plan to go, check the ticket page for current availability, since the first event sold out. Doors and set times beyond the 2pm to 10pm window were not part of the announcement.
