We Out Here 2026

We Out Here Festival is a 4-day, Summer music festival curated by Gilles Peterson that features jazz, soul, R&B and hip-hop artists. Its name comes from the title of a 2018 compilation from co-organizer Brownswood Recordings that showcased artists from London's then-emerging new jazz scene. The first edition of the festival took place the following year in Cambridgeshire, as did subsequent editions, until 2023, when it moved to Dorset. The focus remains on UK jazz-and-jazz-adjacent talent along with fellow travelers from abroad. It is a very family-friendly event with many activities for children. In addition to musical performances there are workshops, talks and debates.
