Ceremony Closes London’s Festival Season with Heavyweight Line-Up

For those of us wistfully staring at our bank balances, contemplating the onset of poverty in the name of closing parties, the good folk behind east London’s FOUND Festival have delivered easily the ideal substitute for those end-of-season rave cravings. Ceremony boasts seven stellar arenas, promising a complete 360 of underground dance culture in one day; a myriad of institutions across house and techno will be rolling out DJs and acts across individual arenas, including Egg (Krankbrother, Citizen), Magna Carta (Nick Curly, Simon Baker) and Groov­e Odyssey (Robert Owens, Phil Asher).

And, for once, the grime scene will be fully represented at a big scale London festival (screw you, Form 696), with Skepta, JME, Logan Sama, Preditah and Plastician taking to the Urban Nerds stage. UK garage legends DJ Luck & MC Neat, and Matt Jam Lamont will also be there to throw down some golden oldies. The big daddy, the Ceremony Main Stage, will be headlined by Louie Vega – one half of pioneering duo, Masters at Work – with more contemporary house heads gravitating to the billing of Hot Natured star Richy Ahmed and chart-topper, Route 94.

The perfect end to the outdoor musical calendar in the capital, Ceremony will take place at Finsbury Park on Saturday 13th September. Head over to www.ceremonyfestival.com for tickets and more information, and stream Louie Vega's warm-up mix below.
