### A Second Chance: Above & Beyond Announces Exclusive ABGT700.2 London Showcase
The recent ABGT700 milestone celebration at The Gorge Amphitheatre was an unforgettable experience, though it wasn’t without its hurdles. Mother Nature had other plans for the festivities, as intense wind gusts necessitated a three-hour safety pause on Saturday. This disruption unfortunately led to the truncation of Oliver Smith’s performance and the complete cancellation of sets from ilan Bluestone and J Ribbon.
However, the Anjunabeats team is ensuring these artists get the spotlight they deserve. In a move to rectify the situation, the label has unveiled “ABGT700.2,” an intimate, 700-capacity event scheduled for October 29 at the iconic 26 Leake Street venue in London.
#### Turning Setbacks into Milestones
This makeup show is strategically timed to occur just 24 hours before the official 700th episode of *Group Therapy Radio* airs. By hosting this event, the organizers are not only providing a platform for the artists who missed out at The Gorge but are also integrating these live recordings directly into the landmark 700th broadcast. It is a creative solution that transforms a weather-related disappointment into a unique, high-energy chapter of the show’s history.
#### The Legacy of Group Therapy Radio
Since its inception in 2011, *Group Therapy Radio* has cemented itself as a cornerstone of the electronic music landscape. Much like a long-running television drama that continues to evolve, the show has maintained its relevance by consistently acting as a primary discovery hub for emerging talent within the Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep rosters.
Reaching 700 episodes is a rare feat in the fast-paced world of dance music. To put this longevity into perspective, the show has been broadcasting weekly for over 13 years-a duration that has seen the rise and fall of countless sub-genres, yet *Group Therapy* remains a consistent beacon for trance and progressive house enthusiasts worldwide. This upcoming London showcase serves as a testament to the brand’s commitment to its community and its artists, ensuring that the spirit of the celebration remains intact despite the challenges faced in Washington.
