Nubiyan Twist
First headliner announced – UK’s leading afro-jazz collective Nubiyan Twist! Fusing an eclectic mix of jazz, soul, hip hop, African styles, Latin, dub and electronics, the London-based 12-piece are an infectious and unforgettable live experience. They have performed at Glastonbury, Shambala, Boomtown and Edinburgh Jazz Festival and sold out London’s Jazz Cafe. The band’s self-titled debut album of 2015 was by their second LP ‘Jungle Run’, released to critical acclaim in February 2019.
More Coming Soon!
Tandem’s music team spend the year seeking out unique music from all over the world as well as the best of our local scene. We carefully balance acoustic and amplified stages to bring you an unforgettable listening experience.
As well as music, the festival will be packed with dance, storytelling, film, talks, crafts and spaces to be creative for all ages. Each year we also have a large programme of workshops to introduce audiences to topics from laughter yoga and massage to woodwork and feminism for dads.
