Temple Uprising

Temple Uprising – A stage that explores how music transcends entertainment, becoming a catalyst for revolution and liberation. This year this stage celebrates the raw spirit of the UK free party movement alongside indigenous voices, where sound systems meet social resistance, and dancefloors become acts of defiance. Thursday from 15.00, Friday from 14.00

Including: Ed Gillet in conversation with Steve Stavrinides, Koteka Lali Kuragan Wenda from The Free West Papua Campaign, Maher Hajaj from Palestine Pulse, Mexican Abuela Martha Pico, Dan Tsu from The Rumshack, Kiran Gandhi and more.

Welcome to Temple Uprising, a place in between the deep jungle beats, techno and dubstep where we explore the undeniable power of music to illuminate the path towards collective empowerment and social transformation.

Temple Uprising serves as a beacon, a vibration connecting the light and the dark, the invisible with the visible, the violent and the peaceful, the wounds and wisdoms, the ancient and the future. Hosted in The Common, we get to experience how music transcends mere entertainment, becoming a catalyst for revolution and liberation.

Temple Uprising isn’t just a stage, it’s a movement. We’re diving deep into how music, sound and voices can shape the world. 

The speakers will be a combination of artists in conversation with elders and wisdom keepers of the land of UK Isles, musical presentations, storytelling, discussions and collaborations. It will be a stage that welcomes joyful disruptors, challengers of social norms, activists against capitalism and colonialism, writers, artists and poets of sound.
