51st State Festival

Following their sold-out 4th edition, the organisers are excited to announce that 51st State Festival returns to the picturesque Trent Park on Saturday 3rd August 2019 for their 5th Birthday and biggest event to date.

51st State Festival will once again celebrate the roots of House music, pulling together the threads of this hugely influential sound, exploring classic House, Tech House, Afro House, Garage, Disco, Soul, Dub, Dancehall and more. Your favourite pioneers from Chicago, New York, Detroit, London and beyond will be joined by the trailblazers of today. The 51st State Festival program is truly transatlantic, joining the dots between the US, the UK, Europe and the Caribbean.

A celebration of real House music.
