Everything you need to know about Soho House Festival 2024
As we return to London’s Gunnersbury Park in just a few weeks, discover this year’s line-up, food and drink pop-ups, and on-site beauty tent
Tuesday 11 June 2024 By Chloe Lawrance
On Thursday 4 July, Soho House Festival returns to west London, supported by Porsche and Amazon. This year’s festival is already sold out – but if you did manage to secure a ticket, there’s plenty to get excited for on the big day.
As always, every ticket includes unlimited food and drinks, a line-up of brilliant live performances and DJ sets across two stages, and lots to keep you busy across the site, too. There’s a beauty tent, where we’ll be offering hair styling and treatments, as well as tarot card reading, a floral headdress-making workshop with Porsche and, as always, a mini fun fair, too.
Read on to find out everything else you need to know to start planning your day.
The line-up
On the Main Stage:
Jessie Ware
Singer-songwriter Jessie Ware has perfected her feel-good, disco-inspired sound over the course of five albums, receiving seven Brit award nominations and two Mercury Prize nominations in the process. With big vocals and stand-out tracks that wouldn’t feel out of place at Studio 54, expect Ware’s headline show on our Main Stage to have you up and dancing all night long.
Chaka Khan
A 10-time Grammy Award winner and inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s Class of 2023, Chaka Khan’s career has spanned more than five decades, as she redefined genres and produced some of the best known pop, soul and funk tracks of recent years.
If you missed out on a ticket for Soho House Festival, there’s still a chance to enjoy Khan this summer as she curates the Meltdown Festival 2024 between Friday 14 and Sunday 23 June at London’s Southbank Centre. With a diverse range of artists performing, from Emeli Sandé to Todrick Hall, tickets are available to buy at an exclusive reduced rate of 25% off here.
DJ Spoony presents Garage Classical Orchestra
A legend of UK garage, DJ Spoony’s newest live venture sees him partnering with composer and conductor Katie Chatburn and the Ignition Orchestra to breathe new life into garage classics through orchestral arrangements. Look out for some special guests, including Elisabeth Troy, Kele Le Roc, Lifford, Nay Nay, and Thomas Jules.
Sophie Ellis-Bextor
As her 2000s classic ‘Murder On The Dancefloor’ continues to find renewed viral success, Sophie Ellis-Bextor is bringing the spirit of her Kitchen Disco to our main stage. With a career that spans almost 30 years, she has gone from frontwoman of Theaudience, a 1990s indie band, to bonafide popstar, with seven studio albums under her belt.
Good Neighbours
In 2023, Good Neighbours Scott and Oli – who have neighbouring studios in their east London building – began to make music together simply ‘for the love of making music’. Inspired by Passion Pit and MGMT, among others, the duo prioritises creating something positive and unpolished, often with raucous production as a result.
Future Utopia
The solo project of artist and producer Fraser T. Smith, previous collaborator of Adele and Stormzy, Future Utopia released his first album 12 Questions back in 2020. Through a mix of sounds and influences, the record explores issues of faith, freedom and race, with guest vocals from Dave, Kano, Ghetts, and more.
On the Park Stage:
2ManyDJs (DJ set)
Headlining the festival’s dance stage, 2ManyDJs brings together musical duo David and Stephen Dewaele – otherwise known as Soulwax. Their high-energy sets often veer into the unexpected, with an eclectic mix of sounds and genres – expect to hear everything from classics to underground dance tracks.
The Blessed Madonna
American DJ and musician The Blessed Madonna began her career selling mixtapes at underground raves in New York in the late 1990s, building a large following in the dance music scene ahead of the release of her first EP back in 2013. Since then, she has collaborated with Fred again.., Dua Lipa and Robyn, among other global artists.
