EARN tickets to sold-out Labyrinth on the Thames

In partnership with the Old Royal Naval College, Labyrinth on the Thames has unveiled a major programme of community-led initiatives ahead of its landmark open-air London series, reinforcing its long-term commitment to the Royal Borough of Greenwich.

Ahead of the festival opening its doors, Labyrinth on the Thames will launch a large-scale food bank drive, supporting vulnerable people across the borough as part of its “Earn Your Day at Labyrinth” initiative. Music fans, local residents and businesses will be encouraged to bring essential food donations to a dedicated drop off point at the Old Royal Naval College in exchange for tickets to one of the eight festival dates, including access to sold out shows.

Nick Castleman, Co-Founder of Labyrinth, said: “A number of our team volunteer with local food banks and have seen first-hand the growing pressures facing vulnerable communities across London. We wanted to use our platform to do something meaningful that directly benefits people across the Borough, while bringing music fans together around a shared cause.”

The initiative will be supported by EARNT, a platform that rewards positive action with access to culture and live experiences, helping facilitate and verify donations on-site. The campaign will also mark the first time the model has been introduced on this scale in London. Additional rewards, including VIP tickets and hospitality packages, will be available for those making the most significant contributions to the food drive.

Labyrinth will also launch organised litter-picking initiatives across Greenwich throughout the festival series, with fans invited to take part in 60–90-minute local clean-up efforts before attending events that day. Participants will receive access to sold out shows, as well as rewards including food and drink packages and VIP access.

These initiatives are publicly backed by music artists, Adriatique, Anjunadeep, Peggy Gou and The Kooks.

Luke Pritchard, frontman of The Kooks said: “Greenwich got into my blood early, my mum had a shop there and I spent my childhood running wild in those streets. The Old Royal Naval College is hallowed ground, so to be playing there with Labyrinth feels like something meant to happen. What moves me about the initiatives is that it doesn’t stop at the music, it reaches back into the community that makes any of it possible in the first place. Music was always about more than sound. It was always about people. And knowing this brings them together while lifting those who need it most that’s the whole point, isn’t it.”

Peggy Gou said: “In Korea, food is such a big part of our culture and how we connect with people, even the way we greet each other is often around asking if someone has eaten. I love that this initiative brings music and community together, while also helping support people and families who may not always have enough food on the table.”

Labyrinth on the Thames will continue its charity partnership with Greenwich & Bexley Community Hospice in 2026 after raising more than £16,000 last year, with new fundraising initiatives across the festival. The series will also expand opportunities for local students through partnerships with the University of Greenwich and Trinity Laban, while supporting independent Greenwich businesses through on-site activations and local collaborations.
