New restrictions in the Main Quad mean we can no longer hold the event to the scale we had planned to, so we’ve taken the difficult decision to move the whole event to EartH Hackney.

We’ve tried everything we can to make the event work on campus, but we couldn’t resolve some of the specific issues that have arisen the past few days.

The date remains the same - Saturday 3 June 2023, but the event times are changing slightly, extending the event into the evening making the new running times 18:00 - 00:00

We really wanted to run the first Summer Festival on campus since 2016, but despite enormous effort to make it work in the Main Quad, we know that moving the event to a different space is the only way we can make sure it will live up to expectations and kick-start your summer break with a bang.

The line-up will remain the same, featuring performances from a number of our super-talented societies as well as three headline acts - Mike Skinner, Girls Don’t Sync & General Levy.

There are still a limited number of tickets available for this end of year celebration, you can get a ticket now for £35 (or £28 if you use code UCL20 at checkout)
