Buy tickets

Whether on the dance floor or in the workshops, Rebel Soul is a place to feed your fire and reconnect with hope.

During the day, it hosts activists on the frontline, racial justice campaigners, and liberation visionaries. By night, it becomes a musical haven: inclusive programming, true punk values, and boundary-pushing bangers. This is also the home of late night techno, come for the quality and stay for the vibes. Expect a dance floor that is focused, friendly and fervent.

And whilst you’re at it, fuel up at Rebel Soul’s delicious vegan café and browse the radical bookshop – all proceeds go directly to the campaigns and activists that are platformed.
