Kenny Dope and Global Roots join the lineup for Gilles Peterson's We Out Here festival

We Out Here is back in 2020 and Kenny Dope is headlining, while Thris Tian’s Global Roots hosts the Sunday takeover at the forest stage.

Inaugurated last year with a first edition that saw Kojey Radical, Nubya Garcia, Tirzah, Josey Rebelle and Sons of Kemet top the billing, We Out Here is a festival conceived and curated by DJ and tastemaker extraordinaire Gilles Peterson. The festival fuses jazz, soul, funk, R&B, hip-hop and afrobeat with a selection of top-tier DJs, catering for dance music fans with an eclectic taste that spans beyond the club. This diverse event is taking place in Abbots Ripton, Cambridgeshire, from 20th – 23rd August 2020.

As part of his 30 Years of Kenny Dope tour, Kenny is topping a DJ line-up alongside names such as Floating Points, Joy Orbison, Josey Rebelle and Jayda G. This legendary DJ will be playing a special set alongside Gilles Peterson and UNKLE’s James Lavelle. Also on this year’s billing is Thris Tian, Worldwide FM associate and the man behind Global Roots, who will be hosting a Sunday takeover of the forest stage alongside as-yet-unannounced acts drawn from music scenes all over the globe.

“I really wanted to bring to the UK a festival that celebrates the elements of UK club culture, and the community that surrounds it, that I have been lucky enough to be a part of over the years.”
