Our STORY

We weren’t made to feel welcome, so we took our music and food to the streets and filled them with rhythm, laughter, and love. From resistance came rhythm, from struggle came soul. 25 years later, the movement still dances.

Our LINEUP

For 25 years, thousands have made the pilgrimage to Margate drawn by the music, the people, and the feeling that can’t be found anywhere else. From the beachfront to the afterparties, this is the weekend that defines the soul of the UK.
