In true Klarna style, the bank who let people shop from the comfort of their own home, will help festival goes unwind with massages and an exclusive DJ line-up
We Out Here is the first UK festival curated by legendary Gilles Peterson, along with his label Brownswood and online radio station Worldwide FM.

Boasting 10 stages and a mouth-watering line-up of contemporary jazz, afrobeats and world music bands, as well as club DJs, the festival prides itself on its diverse music offering and wealth of talent; old and new.

About We Out Here
We Out Here is a new UK festival curated by internationally renowned broadcaster, DJ and label head Gilles Peterson, run in collaboration with Brownswood Recordings and Worldwide FM.
Spanning four days in August, We Out Here takes its name from the 2018 Brownswood compilation, a calling card for London’s bright-burning young jazz scene that went stratospheric last year. This same collaborative, creative spirit that defied genre classifications will be celebrated at We Out Here, pulling together Gilles’ vast and varied universe of talent inside one of the UK’s most beautiful, landscaped festival sites.
We Out Here is a Worldwide Family Gathering that collectively speaks for a young generation of improvisers, genre-spanning DJs and era-defining icons. A four-day experience inside the mind of Gilles Peterson and the music he has soaked up over the last 30 years in the game.
Festival dates:
Thursday 15th – Sunday 18th August 2019
