NASS Festival 2022

Festival season is already in full effect and Next week it’s Nass’s turn. With a broad and totally bangin’ line up we couldn’t miss it! Friday sees the launch of proceedings with Ocean Wisdom, Mabel, Headie One, Kurupt FM, Alicai Harley and Shy FX. Saturday brings us the man all women want to marry and all men want to be:  Loyle Carner. He’s joined by Raye, JME and Gentleman’s Dub Club. Sunday might be last but it’s by no means least. They’ll be rolling out AJ Tracey, Wilkinson, Ella Eyre, Ms Banks, Kiko Bun and Andy C. There will be some of the most talented UK street artists displaying their work throughout the festival and of course the second element Nass is so famous for, the pro skate and BMX competitions. Redbull will be bringing its Road Gap skate jam down and there’s a public skatepark so drunk festival goers can endanger life and limb….I mean so that attendees can get inspired and involved. If that sounds up your street there are still some tickets left available from the website.

Not to throw shade on the amazing artists attending but we’d like to see a bit more female representation here, especially in the hip hop arena. It would be great to see at least 1 female headliner BUT we see the efforts in the ‘Warehouse’ stage on Saturday which is all female except Danny Howard headlining. We’re massively looking forward to a weekend full of talent in all areas so Follow Wordplay on TikTok for full coverage and if you’re there and you see us, come say hi!!
