SOLSTICE brings together an extraordinary group of musicians, creators, storytellers and thinkers whose work is helping reshape how we understand our relationship with the living world. Across the weekend, these voices will share performances, conversations, workshops and collaborations - exploring creativity in dialogue with Nature and imagining what a truly nature-centric culture could look like.
SOLSTICE’s audience brings together a tribe of cultural voices - ‘gardeners’ who are planting new seeds to shift the cultural narrative and create better futures.
With attendance intentionally limited, this is a place where connections are made, new ideas take root, and collaborations continue long after the festival ends.


NATURE, The Artist (Sounds Right) is the headliner, the stage, and the unseen force running through the festival as it unfolds in collaboration with the living world. Step in, tune your senses, and experience Nature’s creativity as something wild, shared, and alive.
NATURE the artist will also be on the lineup - with support from the Sounds Right initiative led by Museum for the UN and EarthPercent.

Alice Gabb is the force behind the festival’s activist banners, where art meets protest and symbolism becomes language.

Anna B Savage (Live) is a singular voice in contemporary music-raw, magnetic, and unflinchingly honest. Her songs move between whispered vulnerability and soaring intensity, drawing listeners into deeply intimate emotional landscapes.

Whether crafting dancefloor anthems or intimate compositions, his music is driven by curiosity, collaboration, and a deep sensitivity to sound. Live, he brings a rare mix of understated charm and emotional depth, creating performances that are both subtly hypnotic and deeply human.

Andy Bell (DJ Set) is a defining voice of British alternative music, known for his work with Ride, Oasis, and a rich catalogue of solo and collaborative projects. Constantly evolving, his sound spans from the shimmering guitars of shoegaze to expansive electronic and ambient territories.

Auntie Flo / Brian d’Souza - Plants Can Dance (Live) is a truly immersive live performance where music, technology, and the living world meet. Known for his globally inspired electronic sound, d’Souza (aka Auntie Flo) expands his practice here into something more-than-human, inviting plants themselves into the creative process.
Using biodata sonification, electrical signals from plants are translated into sound in real time, creating a collaboration between human and organism. The result is a constantly evolving composition shaped by the subtle rhythms and responses of living systems.
Rooted in ideas of interconnection and deep listening, Plants Can Dance dissolves the boundary between performer and environment. It’s not just a performance, but a living exchange-where Nature is not a backdrop, but an active participant in the music itself
