A sunshine-filled day of soul, funk, reggae & hip hop is promised for Hastings this May bank holiday Sunday as Music First Festival presents the ‘Summer Soul BBQ’ at The Oval.

The first 1,000 tickets are available at a discounted early-bird price and are likely to be snapped up in record time thanks to a tremendous line-up that includes such household names at The Brand New Heavies, Sugar Hill Gang, Jungle Brothers and the Furious 5 (featuring Grandmaster Melle Mel and Scorpio)

As the organisers say: “A line up like this comes to town just once in a lifetime, spread the word!”

ELLiS·D Tioklu

All the way from Los Angeles, via Italy, France and the Netherlands, Vinyl Williams is bringing his neo-psychedelic celestial-pop sound to The Piper the April, for a set not to be missed as part of his 2024 European tour.

The grandson of legendary cinematic composer, John Williams, Vinyl Williams has six studio albums to draw on for his live shows... and his songs paint a dreamy and sensual soundscape of blissed-out and gently rocking delight.

Ellis.D - expect post-punk, krautrock and psychedelia to funk, art-rock and baroque pop

Tioklu - music from an out of time and ethereal realm which encompasses a kind of dream pop overflowing with psychedelia.
