Yesterday marked 5 weeks on the countdown til our set at !
We are over the moon to be playing in such a beautiful and prestigious venue, with a lineup of such immense creative talent ❤️ RTB will be opening the Joyful Noise Art Late from 7pm with our favourite soulful, uplifting grooves from across the globe 🪩
“New this year, Art Late invites visitors to explore the Joyful Noise exhibition in a relaxed atmosphere with art, music and performance. Guests can enjoy exclusive spotlight tours led by the Cathedral’s Visual Arts Curator and experience eclectic DJ sets throughout the evening.
The programme opens with Rock the Boat, bringing a celebration of joyful sound, from rare grooves, jazz and soul to global dance music. This is followed by a special sound and spoken-word performance from Tim Etchells and Jack Sheen. The night concludes with Kem Kem (Olukemi Lijadu), who will present a live DJ set responding to the themes of the exhibition, tracing a sonic journey across the Black Atlantic – from the drum traditions of Central and West Africa to jazz and Caribbean folk reimagined. The set takes durability as its subject: what sound, rhythm and memory carry through displacement, and what the immaterial refuses to lose.
Alongside performances and tours, there will be opportunities for hands-on creative activity: visitors may create their own version of Yuri Suzuki’s UTOOTO, try screen printing, or simply sit and sketch the Cathedral’s magnificent architecture as the sun sets.“
We have never been so excited for a set! It would mean the world to see as many of your wonderful faces there as possible, ticket link below:
