Whatever music you're into, there's an artist for everyone.
Curated in collaboration with South Asian culture and arts platform Dialled In, Saturday will be headlined by the incredible Asha Puthli – the pioneering Indian singer-songwriter, producer, and actress, whose genre-defying blend of spacey jazz, disco, and psychedelia earned cult status around the world.
Trust us, you don't want to miss this.

Asha will be joined by the mystical improvisations of legendary Balochi Benju instrumentalist Ustad Noor Bakhsh, and pioneers of the contemporary British Asian music scene Metz n Trix.
And it doesn't stop there folks, ganavya will be bringing her transcendental melding of South Asian classical music with spiritual jazz to the party whilst Fun’Da’Mental’s Inder Goldfinger will present a back-to-back set with Silverfinger Singh.

Iconic Leeds 10-piece TC & the Groove Family and rapper Kenzo Jae will also be performing as well as soul singer Summer Pearl and Inso-jazz pioneer Sarathy Korwar.
Now that's what we call a star-studded lineup.

It’s rare to witness an artist like Asha live, and we can’t wait to share this moment with the community in Keighley.”
