Tickets and times
This year, Rooted in Culture celebrates its fifth anniversary
Over the course of five editions, the programme has evolved into a platform that highlights a new chapter in the history of house culture each year. This upcoming edition focuses on house music’s journey to Europe and the crucial role the UK played as its first European home. We will celebrate this milestone together with our returning guest Lynnée Denise (writer, cultural critic, and DJ) and an international dancer.
