One of the UK’s most proudly independent gatherings is back in 2024 with another very special line up to celebrate its much anticipated 10th anniversary edition this August Bank Holiday weekend. Moovin Festival 2024 is set to take place at Compstall’s udderly unique Whitebottom Farm and headlining are none other than electronic music pioneers Leftfield and legendary DJ Laurent Garnier, plus Sampa the Great, Erol Alkan, Crazy P, David Rodigan, Souls of Mischief, Mr Scruff, Greg Wilson, Jaguar Skills, Congo Natty, Ray Keith, DRS, Nicky Blackmarket, Nubiyan Twist, K Klass and many more innovative bands, DJs and live acts from across the spectrum.
Moovin Festival is an exceptional celebration of sonic brilliance, eclectic music, and quirkiness, set in a beautiful and intimate environment. It has a bespoke ambiance, state-of-the-art sound systems, and unique stages that transport you to an adult playground of music and magic and consistently draws in the sort of big international names that you don’t usually get in such an intimate environment. This means the festival offers a rare chance to get up close and personal with your favourite acts in beautiful surroundings with like-minded crowds of discerning music lovers.
As well as these established legends, Moovin prides itself on bringing together up and coming talents and local performers from some of the quirkiest acts around and the line up also features captivating circus performances, rejuvenating yoga sessions, holistic healing treatments, and ethically sourced cuisine
It offers an escape to an ultimate late summer Bank Holiday experience where adventure awaits amidst the picturesque countryside of Etherow Country Park in Compstall. Nestled within the eco-friendly Whitebottom farm, just 30 minutes from Manchester and Sheffield, Moovin has earned its reputation for meticulous attention to detail, bespoke ambiance, and welcoming atmosphere. Discover a hidden oasis adorned with lush trees, serene lakes, and a captivating gorge plus stages like the iconic Barn Stage, a spacious cow shed with cosy hay bales for relaxation. Moovin offers a counter-cultural vibe, complemented by an exceptional musical lineup, ethically sourced cuisine, artisanal cocktails, rejuvenating yoga sessions, holistic healing treatments, and captivating circus performances.
Bringing the sonic brilliance this year is none other than French techno legend and scene hero Laurent Garnier who has very much shaped the sound of the genre over the last 30 years. He tours less these days so this is a rare chance to catch him in such a setting, and he will be joined by Leftfield, fellow pioneers who have put out seminal albums, lay down heavy techno beats and have endless classic hits in their arsenal.
Joining these are iconic hip-hop group Souls of Mischief and reggae legend David Rodigan, along with Afro beats pioneer and global star Sampa The Great bringing the eclectic mix of broken beats and soulful vocals that have made her one of the most singular acts in the scene.
But that’s not all – Moovin regular and Hacienda Legend Graeme Park makes a welcomed return to celebrate 40 years in the scene, Congo Natty celebrates 30 years as a pioneer of the jungle revolution, Erol Alkan brings his raucous mix of indie dance sounds and Crazy P play a DJ set that explores all forms of disco and Prince Fatty & Horseman will lay down their devastating dub sounds.
Overall the lineup boasts an eclectic mix of live bands, including the captivating sounds of Nubiyan Twist, the infectious beats of K Klass, and the mesmerising performance artistry of Oh My God It’s the Church who electrify with their raucous blend of gospel, soul, and rock. This irreverent collective delivers high-energy performances, complete with fervent vocals, infectious rhythms, and theatrical antics. They’re not just a band; they’re an ecstatic experience that leaves audiences uplifted, entertained, and thoroughly converted to their unique gospel sound.
Dub FX is set to deliver an electrifying performance that will keep the crowd moving, while Moovin residents DJ Paulette, Mr. Scruff, Krafty Kuts, Greg Wilson, and Jaguar Skills are back to showcase their unparalleled talents on the turntables as they traverse the world of disco, funk, hip hop, breaks, soul, jazz, and plenty in between. Fans of drum & bass and jungle music are in for a treat once more with heavyweight offerings from DRS, Ray Keith, DJ Randall, Nicky Blackmarket, Mark XTC, and many more.
So, the countdown is now on until you can immerse yourself in the magic, mayhem, and endless surprises of Moovin Festival for an unforgettable weekend escape.
