Flesh Festival is the UK’s first queer electronic music and camping festival that also intends to pioneer festival lineup diversity. The party intends to be one huge celebration of forward-thinking LGBTQ+ energy!
The two-day event on the 28th and 29th of May 2022 will feature three stages showcasing headline DJs including Ellen Allien, VTSS, LSDXOXO, Rebekah, object blue, Jaguar, Syreeta, Hyperaktivist and Juliana Huxtable. Alongside queer London artists such as Wax Wings, allyXPRESS, Hannah Holland, Nadine Noor, Samantha Togni, Angel D’Lite, S/HE, Ifeoluwa, Samantha Togni, Aisha Mirza, J.Aria from inspiring queer collectives such as he.she.they, Boudica, Pxssy Palace, Big Dyke Energy, Inferno, misery and intervention.
There will also be an activity tent hosted by Riposte, a queer club night with an artistic and community-based take on clubbing. This will be a place where people can socialise, partake in workshops and panels, share their experiences and relax without any pressure. There will also be food stalls, pop-up shops and play areas.
The organisers want everyone to know that the festival is open to everyone wanting to have a good time. It is located in a beautiful woodland a stone’s throw from London, near St Albans in Hertfordshire, 25 minutes from Kings Cross. 100% of the lineup will be made up of underrepresented artists.
The vast majority of the lineup will be women, trans+ and non-binary artists including a spectrum of ethnicities and other underrepresented groups like queer or working class artists.
According to the organisers, “The festival will address long-term issues in festival programming, which is dominated by cis-male straight artists, breaking the cycle and allowing emerging and underrepresented talent to break through on a worldwide platform. Being featured on a major festival line-up will create visibility and generate bookings for the artists involved and set an example for other promoters to follow.”
The organisers also said, “Many people talk about equality in electronic music but Flesh is taking real-life action to make it happen.”
