Hastings Fat Tuesday Mardi Gras Ball Returns!
Featuring
Rioghnach Connolly and Honeyfeet
Mr Wilson's Second Liners
DJ sets by Justin Robertson and Jon Carter
+ Late night DJ set with Lemur Beats in the Studio
+ Best dressed competition
Hastings' favourite night of revelry returns in 2025 with an array of musical delights, so dust off your beads and boas!
Opening the night is festival favourites Ríoghnach Connolly and Honeyfeet with their eclectic taste for musical adventure. Together, they drive a broad terrain of musical textures, with foot-tapping and floor-thumping dance rhythms.
Then don't miss the much anticipated return of the legendary Mr Wilson's Second Liners, a traditional New Orleans style second line band paying homage to the diehard days of the Hacienda and 90s club culture.
Keep on dancing to the tracks spun by two legendary dance DJs Justin Robertson and John Carter. Robertson is a producer and DJ, who brings with him a rich history as one of the creators of the Electronic Music scene, whilst Carter was instrumental in developing the form of electronic dance music that became known as big beat, with its mix of rock, hip-hop and breakbeat.
New for 2025 – join the late night party in the White Rock Studio where Civil Partners (in Crime) Lemur Beats will take you on a genre-blurring, time-hopping journey through house, techno, afro-disko, twisted global funk, and more.
Don't miss it!
