Prospa Exit EDC Orlando to Rest After a Huge 2026

Scratch one big house B2B from your EDC Orlando plans. Prospa have cancelled their B2B with Josh Baker, which was set for Friday, Nov. 6, the festival's opening day at Tinker Field.

The Leeds duo announced it in an Instagram story, saying they need "much-needed time to rest and recharge." DJ Mag reports they added: "We never take cancellations lightly and we are working hard to minimise any disruption to shows next year." The story is no longer visible on their account.

What changes at EDC Orlando

When we broke down EDC Orlando's day splits on Oct. 15, Prospa were listed twice on Friday: once solo and once B2B with Josh Baker. As of this morning, the official lineup page lists no Prospa set on any of the three days. Josh Baker is still on Friday's bill.

Friday still has plenty for house fans: Mau P, Chris Lorenzo, Interplanetary Criminal, Joshwa, KREAM and Omar+, plus David Guetta, Afrojack and an Alesso sunset set. EDC Orlando runs Nov. 6–8. For any replacement in the slot, watch Insomniac's official channels.

Why a break makes sense

It's been a non-stop year. Prospa released their debut album, Free Your Mind, on CircoLoco Records in June. In August they launched their own label, Prophecy. They also made their debut in DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs at No. 94.

It hasn't been easy on the road, either. In July, Harvey Blumler said he had to stop performing for a while after two perforated eardrums and repeated ear infections. Bandmate Gosha Smith was set to cover their bookings solo while he recovered.

The records are still everywhere

The cancellation doesn't change what's happening on the charts.

Prospa & KETTAMA – Think Of You [Steel City Dance Discs] is No. 18 on 1001Tracklists' trending chart this morning. It came out on Friday, Oct. 16, after months as a festival ID. DJ Mag says it was teased at EDC Las Vegas in May and Lollapalooza in August. It entered our trending snapshots on Oct. 25 at No. 17, and has stayed between No. 16 and No. 18 since. On Beatport, the extended mix is filed under House at 134 BPM, with Rohan Pinnock-Hamilton also credited. He's on Prospa's Dreams too.

Sybil, Cloonee, Prospa – Free Your Mind [CircoLoco Records] keeps going. It's No. 20 on the weekly DJ chart with 42 DJs, and it has been on that chart in every one of our daily snapshots since Oct. 9. It's also No. 7 on the ID Library weekly board. Good Girl, their track with Tristan Henry and Cloonee [Hellbent Records], sits at No. 20 on our board.

Josh Baker has his own hit in the mix. Josh Baker & Rhys from the Sticks – Souvenir [Baker's Dozen] is No. 24 on our weekly board.

What's next: the trio

The big plans are for 2027. Prospa, Josh Baker and KETTAMA have three sold-out shows together at London's Finsbury Park next July. According to DJ Mag, the Saturday, July 3 show sold out within an hour. Sunday, July 4 was added the same day, then Friday, July 2. DJ Mag reports about 135,000 tickets sold across the three dates. The three are also set for a joint headline performance at Creamfields 2027.

Why it matters

Prospa have been open about why they're stepping back: after an album, a new label and a health setback in one year, they want to rest before a huge 2027. Their music hasn't slowed down. Think Of You is less than two weeks old and already trending, and Free Your Mind has been on the weekly DJ chart in every daily snapshot we've taken since Oct. 9.
