The sunshine is finally back which can only mean one thing…festival season is upon us! There’s so much great music coming to the UK this summer and trust us when we say, that you won’t want to miss out. So, we’ve put together a handy Festival Guide, to make sure that you know where to head to for good music.

This 2007-founded festival has quickly established itself as a powerhouse on the London festival scene with a slew of award wins and nominations. And the 2018 line-up, is really coming through for the R&B / Soul music lover. This year’s headliner is none other than the Queen of Soul herself Erykah Badu. If you missed out on tickets to her sold-out tour last year, then you won’t want to miss this appearance. With this two-day festival moving to a new home in South London’s Brockwell Park from East London’s Victoria Park, you’ll be able to enjoy the new digs alongside an eclectic line-up of some of Soul music’s most multi-dimensional up and comers – Jordan Rakei, Masego, Nao, Moses Sumney… The list goes on and on, so don’t miss out.

All the stops have been pulled out for LoveBox this year. With Childish Gambino finally headlining a festival in the UK, he’ll be sharing the bill with the likes of SZA, Skepta and N.E.R.D, it’s going to be unmissable. If you’ve never been to LoveBox before, it’s like turning up to a party and realising that it’s your surprise birthday party. There’s so much to do alongside the music and the festival is also moving to its new home at Gunnersbury Park in West London, so you’ll be there to break it into its new surroundings.

Been just over 2 weeks since we brought absolute vibes to Hackney Showroom 2 weeks ago with our sophomore live music extravaganza, The Producer Edit. Showcasing the best of the London emerging music scene, The Producer Edit featured a line-up exclusively of the London scene’s hottest and best emerging record producers – WIZE, BAMZ, Blue Canarinho & Melle Brown. Joined by some equally incredible singers and rappers on the night – Chelsea Blues, K The Infinite & The Cold Callers.

It was indeed the ultimate end of summer gig we’d promised. Packed with displays of the best musical artistry, an electric atmosphere and eclectic mix of acts and fans. But rather, than wax lyrical about it, we’ll let you get on to watching the highlights in the videos above and below. Photo gallery down below too. See you at the next one.
