About this event

We’re excited to be part of Everywhere At Once powered by The National Lottery this June.

Taking place from 26-28 June, it’s the UK’s biggest music festival on your doorstep with  1000+ gigs, 400+ venues, 1 weekend.

Join us for a different kind of festival. Closer to the music. Where local matters. Where everyone belongs.

Celebrating over two decades together, Laid Blak represents the heart of Bristol’s eclectic soundsystem culture. Formed by rave and jungle veterans DJ Bunjy and MC Joe Peng, the group expanded into a full live band that fuses reggae and ska with hip-hop, funk, and what they describe as “street soul.” Renowned for their live sets, they are staples on the UK festival circuit and have shared stages with reggae legends like The Wailers, Toots and the Maytals, and Damian Marley. With accolades including a Reggae Album of the Year award for From the Vaults and their track “Red” famously covered by Ed Sheeran, Laid Blak continues to deliver a distinctive, high-energy sound that connects with audiences across the UK.

Support comes from DJ Peter Love
