Rituals: A tribute to ancient traditions

When

Friday 18 July from 7pm to 11:55pm

Rituals is not just a concert – it’s a shared cultural experience. Inspired by the sacred traditions of ancient communities, this event reimagines ritual for our time through sound, movement, and storytelling.

The music serves as a bridge between worlds, creating a space where people of all backgrounds can come together in celebration, reflection, and connection. It’s a journey that invites the audience to dance, listen, and feel deeply rooted in something timeless and collective.

Three powerful live acts, each bringing a distinct fusion of electronic music, traditional rhythms and storytelling performance.
