Grime

Grime: 74 upcoming festivals, including 24 with tickets on sale.

Grime is characterized by rapid, syncopated breakbeats, typically around 140 BPM, featuring an aggressive and often fragmented electronic sound. Emerging from London's Bow district in the early 2000s, it evolved from UK garage, drawing production influences from jungle, drum and bass, and 2-step, while its vocal flow was shaped by dancehall and hip-hop. Iconic artists like Wiley, Dizzee Rascal, and Skepta defined its sound and lyrical prowess. Grime's raw energy and social commentary profoundly impacted British youth culture, solidifying its place as a distinct and influential genre.
