Stowaway Festival 2026: drum & bass, jazz and soul in the British tradition
Rooted in the tradition of the most eclectic British festivals, Stowaway Festival offers an extraordinary sonic journey each late July, blending drum & bass, jazz, funk and afrobeat. Its originality lies in its ability to bring together seemingly distant musical scenes under one banner: Black music in all its diversity.
The 2026 programme unites artists at the crossroads of multiple worlds: SKREAM, a British dubstep pioneer reinvented as a house selector, and KOKOROKO, the London afrobeat collective on the rise. London Elektricity represents the pinnacle of atmospheric drum & bass, while Gabriels embodies the soul-gospel revival.
Stowaway's palette is deliberately wide: house, disco, reggae, hip-hop and UK garage weave a musical tapestry that reflects Britain's cultural richness. Jazz and afrobeat stages bring welcome acoustic warmth alongside the electronic dancefloors.
Stowaway Festival embodies the best of British musical culture: curious, inclusive and deeply rooted in world music and Black music traditions. With 55 diverse artists and a programme that refuses uniformity, it stands as a refreshing alternative on the UK festival landscape.
