The live stream content consists of pre-recorded artists performances, which were filmed either from their homes or studios, so proper social distancing is observed. You’ll see live DJ sets, SDF archive footage, live dance interactions, premiers of new music videos and more – all broadcast live.
Your compere hosts over the weekend are Alex Williams and Lynette Walters. They will introduce the artists and guide you through the day, speaking with artists, viewers and running competitions etc.
You will be able to comment along on the stream in the live chat via Facebook and Youtube. Tell us what you’re enjoying, say hi to friends and send messages of support to artists and your favourite Simmer Down moments.
Or join us on Twitter and Instagram where we’ll be posting throughout the day.
The stream will stay live on our YouTube channel for one week after the event, so you can watch back on demand.
Please be patient with any technical hiccups – we’ll do our best to fix them quickly when they inevitably occur!
If the worst happens and the stream goes down, we’ll announce on our social media and the Simmer Down Festival webpage what to do.
If the audio and video go out of sync or you’re having any problems, try refreshing your browser.
We’d love to hear from you about how you’re viewing and listening to the live stream in your homes, gardens etc. Please send us photos and memories of previous Simmer Down Festival in Handsworth Park via Twitter using the hashtags:
