Imrpint dlwp de la warr coastal currents

An all-day, beach-side event celebrating independent record label culture with DJs from eight of the UK’s best record labels bringing you the finest soul, funk, beats, breaks and drum & bass.

Free outdoor DJ event all day!

We have allocated tickets to ensure that, if we have wet weather, we can move the event into the auditorium.
At this stage however, the event will be on the beach-side lawns as planned and we will not be issuing physical tickets. Therefore, everyone is welcome and you will not need a ticket to join the party outside!
