About 20th Birthday Weekender

It’s our birthday! 

Join us for two days celebrating the people, places and spaces that shaped this corner of East London on Fri 11 - Sat 12 Dec.

For 20 years, Rich Mix has been a home for creativity, culture and community in the heart of East London. Over the last two decades, we've championed emerging artists, nurtured young talent, platformed underrepresented voices and brought communities together through music, film, spoken word, theatre, visual art and a whole lot more. 

This weekend is about celebrating everything Rich Mix stands for: anti-racism, community, creativity and giving a platform to voices that deserve to be heard. 

So join us as we celebrate the people, movements and moments that have shaped us, the communities we stand alongside and the next generation who carry this legacy forward. 

Fri 11 Dec:

  • The red carpet premiere of Into the Underground: an East London Story, a brand new Grime documentary created by our young people to mark twenty years of Rich Mix, funded by Aldgate and Allhallows. Followed by a Q&A with the Director Isaac Bokoyo, afterparty with performances from Teewhy, Tyler Humble and more, plus a specially re-created pirate radio station for the night!

Sat 12 Dec:

  • Two unmissable in depth panel discussions; discover the the past, present and future of Rich Mix and find out more about the Save Brick Lane campaign
  • A packed programme of free creative workshops and networking opportunities, including the chance to get your own professional headshots, DJ mixing sessions, portfolio-building advice and much more
  • A night of live music and DJ sets into the early hours – featuring Pandit G, Jammz, Shay Mula, Rohan Rakit and very special headliners to be announced!
