Summer Sounds
We held a weekend of music at Summer Sounds, a two day festival in the stunning grounds of Cliffe Castle Park.
From Drum n Bass to Bhangra, Jazz to Afrobeat, and everything in between, we had two unforgettable days of uplifting performances by local and international musicians and DJs.
We enjoyed the festival atmosphere and soulful vibes, DJ sets, delicious street food and interactive workshops, all in the heart of Keighley.
Saturday was curated by Dialled In who, since 2021, have been dedicated to uplifting the new South Asian underground. Headlined by trailblazer Asha Puthli, whose stellar set at Glastonbury 2024 fused Indian classical, jazz and disco into a uniquely cosmic soundscape. Plus ganayva’s soulful sounds, Panjabi rave aces Jawani Nights, the bang-bang sounds of Dohl Academy and more!
Sunday saw Nitin Sawhney, Poppy Ajudha and Joshua Idehen headline a packed line-up of artists whose music knows no boundaries – from singer-songwriters to poets, soulful divas to thrilling big bands. Curated by Serious, creators of outstanding live music and cultural experiences.
Tickets for the main Beacon stage were just £15 for one day or £25 for the full weekend. Entry to the festival gardens included street food stalls, DJ sets and creative workshops were completely free.
