About

Having taken our name from the 2018 Brownswood Recordings compilation ‘We Out Here‘; a calling card for London’s bright-burning young jazz scene, We Out Here Festival launched in 2019, uniting integral members of the movement alongside legendary icons, genre-spanning DJs, and young improvisers alike for four days of music and community.

As festival founder Gilles Peterson has been doing over his four-decade-long career, We Out Here  joins the musical dots between soul, hip hop, house, afro, electronica, jazz and beyond; showcasing both outstanding live music and some of the best record collections in the world. Past guests include Thundercat, Pharaoh Sanders, Ebo Taylor, The Comet Is Coming, Yussef Dayes, Ezra Collective, Nia Archives, Sampha, Black Star, Nubya Garcia, Masters at Work, Bonobo, TheoParrish and many more…

Every August We Out Here comes alive with 15 stages over the weekend, from the large open-air forest dance floors to small and intimate homemade sound systems: there’s something for everyone! See more in the gallery here.

With high-quality food and drink offerings, an arts and cultural programme, crisp sound and production, family activities, and wellness: all to complement quality-led musical curation.

Back this summer for the 6th edition, in its beautiful home of Wimborne St Giles, Dorset. Featuring seven-acre lakes, woodland parkland, and tucked-away spots to explore, it offers our audience a world where you can fully escape into the music for a full weekend.
