Funk Music Festivals
Funk festivals are all about the groove, anchored by the UK's Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul in Birmingham and the funk stages of jazz weekenders like North Sea Jazz and Halifax. Expect horns, basslines and dancefloors.
Recent lineups feature Basement Jaxx and a cast of soul and funk acts, with most events from June to August. Setline gathers funk festivals in one place, so you can discover artists, preview the music, and plan the trip with friends.
