Two years ago thousands of die hard Soulful House music fans lamented the end of what was one of the greatest festivals to grace the planet: Southport Weekender. Having celebrated their 25th year, Alex Lowes and the good people behind Southport Weekender decided it was time to call it quits and to focus on other events such as their annual summer fete Suncebeat.
But lo and behold due to so much public demand the festival is back, this time for only one day and in London proper. Held at Finsbury Park on Saturday June 10 2017, Southport Weekender Festival features a lineup that’s a soul lover’s dream:
Kerri Chandler
Roger Sanchez
David Morales
Joey Negro
Osunlade
Tony Humphries
Derrick Carter
Amp Fiddler
Detroit Swindle
Spen
Booker T
John Morales
… and many many more.
