This special night is a rare London show from Rum Shack in association with Fox Fest to raise money for Refugee Community Kitchen (founded by The Common's very own Steve Bedlam) and ForJimmy.org.
Featuring -
More Like Trees are born of festival fields and raucous warehouse parties, radiating individuality from every facet. Theirs is a sound like no other: foot-stomping, heart-pounding, and infectious. This is an altermodern melting pot of styles reimagined as acoustic dance music. A meeting of drum n bass and folk with knowing nods towards flamenco and gypsy influences that they call 'Strum n Bass'.
Kwake Bass is regarded as one of the most established drummers in London. He's played in many contexts, ranging from musical director to one-man-band, for acts as varied as Jehst, Kate Tempest, Shabaka Hutchings and Karl R.Able. His new mixtape is the first instalment in a series of compilations of his solo work past and present.
The Fedz are a UK/US music collective from all races and backgrounds, working together for the common good. An anathema to the divisions in the world, sticking up a middle finger to the status quo.
Once the sun goes down, the real party begins in a hedonistic corner of Glastonbury Festival... we call it The Common. Famous for unforgettable live shows and all-night parties, the mighty Rum Shack is fast becoming the Glastonbury after-hours destination. Soundsystem culture with a live twist. Fuelled by bass. Dipped in rum. Every night feels like a house party... with top live bands and high grade DJ’s - alongside headline sets from UK’s best rappers, poets and beatboxers. Recent years have seen remarkable performances from Kate Tempest, Akala, Mike Skinner & Murkage, Kojey Radical, My Nu Leng, Harry Shotta, Reeps One and more.
