Bring some summertime carnival spirit to the winter with Fiesta Bombarda this November, as the Liverpool-based agency and events company are pleased to reveal the first names on the line-up for FIESTIVAL BOMBARDA. Their first ever multi-venue, indoor festival is set to take place on Saturday 21st November 2015 at a selection of the finest spaces that Liverpool’s vibrant Baltic Triangle district has to offer – New Bird Warehouse, The Garage and Constellations.
Headlining the whole event will be pioneering Jungle MC, Congo Natty also featuring appearances from legendary Chicago-troupe Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, reggae and dub sound-system and events company Reggae Roast w/ Brother Culture, London-based pop reggae outfit Will & The People and live African dance music band Afriquoi.
They will be joined by Killamonjambo, KOG & The Zongo Brigade, Afro Cluster, Future Dub Orchestra, DJ Buddha, Dubabuse, The Mighty Mojo and Mersey Wylie, with the line-up for the Room 3 stage in The Blade Factory, hosted by Eat Your Greens & Worried About Henry, still to be revealed. Chris Tyler, Fiesta Bombarda organiser and in-house promoter at Liverpool venue The Kazimier, comments on the event; “Although we’ve been lucky enough to grow the Bombarda experience across the U.K. and throw some great parties in a number of new cities over the past 12 months, Liverpool is still our home, so we really can’t wait to host our biggest event yet across the new multi-venue platform in the Baltic Triangle. We always strive to explore Liverpool and the myriad of different spaces it offers for our events rather than calling any one particular building our, reacting to ones we think would work as a venue for the night.”
“It’s been a huge year for Fiesta Bombarda”, adds co-promoter Sam Garlick “We’re an events group that’s all about inclusivity; since our founding our mantra has been to cultivate the appeal of afrobeat, reggae, dub and brass music to audiences who may previously have been unfamiliar with the genres by making our events as accessible as possible – Fiesta Bombarda is more than just a gig; it’s a music, dance and performance fuelled, high-octane carnival.” From hosting Cathedral carnivals to Palm House parties across the country, Fiesta Bombarda is a vibrant festival experience that travels the U.K. utilising our most inspiring, hidden spaces with a music, performance and dance-fuelled carnival. Rejoicing in three years of unforgettable bespoke events, they’re now extremely proud to be bringing together three themed venues of reggae, brass, jungle, afrobeat and dub, as the Birmingham-based Stax Creations transform the spaces into a geometric jungle.
