Curbana Festival - A Celebration of Urban Arts 18+

Combining stages and vast attractions to showcase a unique line up of domestic and international performers, DJ’s, fashion brands, dance groups, spoken word and street artists and gradually aiming to create the UK largest mobile street market.

The  Change.org petition to ‘cancel Kanye Wests headline slot and get a rock band’ has reached 134,285 signatures (and counting)…shocking.   A great number of the British public still do not believe that hip-hop music deserves a place in a festival let alone a headline spot. Something had to be done about this, which is why  CurbanA - a new festival that celebrates Urban Arts and Culture was born.

This lack of respect for the urban music means that the urban scene is denied from having mainstream presence yet much more credit is clearly due.  CurbanA  was birthed because of this reason. The young organisers behind it are on a mission to make it clear that  ‘Urban sees no colour-just creative innovation’ and that it deserves to be valued and respected as much as any other genre would be.

Meanwhile they believe that Britain needs to wake up and embrace its own homegrown urban culture-it needs to realise how much impact the urban scene is having.  The scene has had endless success to date, from Independent London Rapper  Stormzy almost hitting the top 40 chart mark with his debut single ‘Know Me From’ whilst Krept and Konan set the iTunes chart with their album, ‘The Long Way Home’ by sales of preorders alone- this should not go unrecognised.

With an exciting diverse line-up recently being announced, which boasts names such as DJ Logan Sama, dance group Flawless and renowned headliners So Solid Crew, it is clear that the 1 st August is going to be the a celebration that many of us have been waiting for. The location is set in leafy Willen Lake Park, Milton Keynes-just an hour away from many cities including our own which means that we can expect a diverse crowd of 3500 Urban music lovers from all corners.

It is time that we stand up and give urban artists a platform that they deserve and give the people the art in its purest and rawest format no pressure for a rock and roll spin or pop dilution. Just absorbing all elements of urban music, dance and art as it is.  We have waited so long for this. It’s finally here.  CurbanA .
