You know that episode of The Simpsons where Homer doesn’t let Bart go to watch the Itchy and Scratchy movie; instead opting to stand his ground for forty years, right up until he’s old and wizened? That’s how drawn out a lesson it feels like ‘winter 2023/24’ is teaching. We understand the general idea and really do get the point… but can you relent now? No? That isn’t how it works? It’s still a good three months until festival season?
Well, to soften that blow that we all definitely went through together, let us just tell you about an exciting lineup that’s coming to Brockwell Park over the May Bank Holiday Weekend. Then you can make your plans for whenever it is that winter does decide to let up, and we can all have a large dance! in! the! park!
Project 6 arrived as a debut festival last year, and after the success of the first shot, they’re back for round two on May 24, with a stellar bill that also celebrates 30 years of Rinse FM.
Who is playing Project 6 Festival in 2024?
Topping the bill is pioneering US hip-hop artist Pusha T and London rapper Nines, who are joined by the techno sounds of Eliza Rose; the erupting-into-the-room Katy B; mighty dance rhythms of SBTRKT; and the pulsating basslines of Shy FX. Other highlights include CASISDEAD, fresh from his highly-acclaimed masterpiece Famous Last Words, as well as Benga, Chip, Mala, Taylah Elaine, and more.
