We Out Here Festival - Gilles Peterson’s award-winning weekender - presents a cross-generational and diverse programme of over 300 new artists and 15 exciting stages, ranging from the very best in jazz, drum and bass, hip-hop, electronic, dub, soul and everything in-between. The festival will be taking place this August 10-14th, at their new home of Wimborne St Giles, Dorset. Final tickets are on sale to purchase at https://weoutherefestival.com/.

Among the announcement is the Hennessy Corner programme: a cutting-edge venue that promises an electrifying lineup of DJ sets, exhilarating jam sessions, and each night culminating in a roadblock one-off collaborative performance. This year’s collaborations include Slum Village’s Illa J & Harleighblu performing with eight-piece brass band Hypnotic Brass Ensemble and Steam Down improvising with grime MC P Money. As part of We Out Here’s 50 years of Hip Hop celebrations, Hennessy will also host Mr Thing & Shortee Blitz’s ‘A Live UK Hip Hop’ mixtape ft. special guests to be announced on the night, and Fresh Jive present a day of Hip Hop Dance cyphers with world breakin’ champions. These newly announced artists join the wide-spanning headliners Roisin Murphy, Goldie, Ezra Collective, Nia Archives, Knucks and Black Star (Yasiin Bey aka Mos Def & Talib Kweli), ensuring a variety of music and an unforgettable celebration of culture all weekend.

This year, Columbia Road's Brawn restaurant joins forces with Gilles Peterson’s label Brownswood Recordings + Worldwide FM to present the Brawnswood stage. As well as their on-site restaurant, serving food and drink all day, classics - from cooked breakfast favourites, served up with fine wines, cocktails and more - the stage will also host a hand-picked selection of DJs and Live Artists, dropping in for intimate, stripped-back sets. Live highlights include the neo-soul sounds of Secret Night Gang, LA’s Jimetta Rose and her community-choir The Voices of Creation, and legendary songwriter Brian Jackson. Adding to this stellar lineup on the DJ end, Brawnswood welcomes electronic virtuoso, DJ Aroop Roy, Haseeb Iqbal and Eleswhere Sondio, as well as an unforgettable intimate session from Gilles Peterson himself.

Another exciting feature this year is We Out Here’s Roller Rink, where festival-goers will enjoy complimentary skate hire throughout the day, supported by Carhartt WIP. As the day turns to dusk, the Roller Rink will transform into a pulsating dancefloor, prepare for a series of unforgettable parties, each with its own distinct flavour, including the electrifying High Hopes, Alexander Nut’s Eglo Records, the ever-soulful Touching Bass, and the eclectic Sounds of the Universe.

As well as more acts and new stages, this year We Out Here is partnering up with Liverpool's Melodic Distraction radio station, who will be transmitting live music all weekend on air, and the Near Mint Record Store which will see independent labels, sellers and stores from around the world selling records and spinning tunes. For those that are looking for a place to chill out, the Blue Moon Cafe is located in the campsite serving hot drinks, food and ambient sounds all weekend, and the Sanctuary is a new relaxing space near the lake with selections to ease you back into the day.

Founder & Curator, Gilles Peterson says: “Just one month to go until we're back together again for We Out Here, it's exciting to share the long list of great talent we have performing across the weekend. Bonafide legends and some of the most exciting emerging talent. Can't wait to see the whole community come together again and welcome everyone to our new home!”

This full lineup reflects the festival’s core ethos of celebrating live music collectively with club culture. The full music offering will be expanded by partners, wellness, talks and family activities - something for everyone.
