Two kids meet out dancing, they’re set to fall hard.
A woman is on a beach, alone at night, looking at the stars.
A bloke is on a bridge, thinking about jumping, just before dark.

Performed as a 12 track album, THE GODS THE GODS THE GODS is an exhilarating weave of big beats, heavy basslines, soaring melodies and heart-stopping spoken word. We are called to the crossroads of Greek mythology and modern life to mourn, to love and to hope.

An uplifting communal experience which invites you - the gods - to take up your own power.

Friday 1 & Saturday 2 March - Party with The Gods into the night with special guests from across the festival.
