Utilising the Junction’s various spaces in brilliantly creative fashion, Junkyard Festival is back again for 2016, serving up a day-long festival of music and arts on 6 August.
Now entering its third year, Junkyard is entirely conceived, managed and delivered by Cambridge Junction’s young creative apprentices, all of whom are aged 18–24 and beginning their careers in the arts.
After storming success in its first two years, the event looks poised to impress once again, this year serving up a theme of Playground Antics. The organisers are urging guests to release their inner child for this year’s event, which features a varied line-up of acts performing from 4pm to midnight.
On the bill are Nubiyan Twist, who combine a DJ set with live instruments to create a heady fusion of soul, jazz, dub, hip hop and afrobeat. They’ll be joined by BiG HEATH, a Cambridge-grown rapper currently generating a huge hype for his distinctive style which fuses 90s hip hop sensibilities with a modern, electronic-based sound.
Flint Moore, favourite of the Junction’s Fiver nights will also be making an appearance, along with curly-haired duo Kontroversi, aka local DJ Margaret Scratcher’s latest outfit, who’ll be bringing their addictive brand of bassline funk. Tickets are £8.
