Hidden Beach: Sound System Culture Day

If you fancy a full day of reggae, dub and heavyweight bass, head to the Stade, where three of the South Coast’s finest sound systems are coming together for a day of music, food, film and sound system culture.

The day starts with the history and heritage of reggae and dub: film screenings, stories from local selectors and sound system operators, and the chance to get up close with the handcrafted systems that power it all. There’s great food on and the community behind the music to meet along the way.

As the afternoon goes on, the selectors take over – roots, reggae, dub and lovers rock, before the evening erupts into a full heavyweight session, with powerful bass, MCs and selectors bringing each stack to life.

Whether you’re a lifelong reggae fan or discovering sound system culture for the first time, this is a chance to experience one of the UK’s richest musical traditions in an unforgettable setting.

Caribbean food will be served all afternoon. Tickets £10 + booking fee.
