london ska festival

We are delighted to, at last, be able to announced the next London Intl Ska Festival dates, new Thames cruise dates (through to December!) and the 35th release in Happy People’s ltd. edition 7” series…

THE LONDON INTL SKA FESTIVAL

Our world famous festival returns Friday 29th – Saturday 31st July 2022 for the biggest celebration of ska, rocksteady, reggae, 2 Tone & beyond the capital has seen!

 

We’ve made the decision not to return this year for a couple of reasons…  With the uncertainity still hanging over events this year and the number of people traveling from all around the world (artists and ticket holders) it simply would not of been feasible to go ahead this April 2021.  We have opted to let the dust settle and to let all international travel return to normality.   We are also moving off our traditional Easter weekend so we can present you a bigger event with even more artists!

 

We will be holding a smaller, more bespoke event at Easter 2022 (read below).
