SGP: Roots

25th-28th July 2024.
The Secret Garden Party is going back to its Roots. In the distant past, before we evolved into a grand spectacle, our focus was on creating connection and interactive fun. We worked closely with artists and collectives to realise their (often insane) visions, which then blossomed into the iconic extravagance of the last 20 shows. Now, with The Secret Garden Party: Roots, we're embarking on a new beginning, with fresh frivolity and new collectives. This is a new playground for us to party in this summer. Anything can, and will, happen in The Garden. We are stripping it right back with smaller, more intimate venues. Lots of them. We’ll still have our favourite artists headlining, but now you’ll actually be able to see them in the flesh, without squinting at the live TV feed 50m out from the front. This opens up groundbreaking collaborations with artists that were just not possible before. Where The Wild Things are returns. We’re a serious party. Great electronic music programming has been at the heart of Secret Garden Party from the start. The Lost Woods return, as does the Doghouse, The Garden Shed & The Pagoda. This year will see even more takeovers than ever before from new collectives playing Disco, House, Techno, UKG, DnB and even faster styles like Footwork, 4x4 and more. Lineups released in January, but there are surprises around every corner. It’s a Secret Garden Party. Remember? Secret. Express yourself. The Secret Garden Party is a space for unrestrained self-expression, where you’re free to be the most authentic version of yourself. There are no spectators here. Take your wildest dreams, and bring them to life in the garden. It’s all fun & games. There’s more to a party than listening to music in a field. Play is one of the most elemental pastimes. Join us in a wide range of frivolous and farcical fun; From old classics such as the mud pit, soc wrestling, and “The floor is larva”, to new ones created by all of you. Or take it easy. This is not a party with spa facilities, but we know that having a space to chill out and ground yourself is vital. So when you need that break from the hustle and bustle of the Garden Party, fear not; the Herb Garden area has what you need. From the hammock city, free yoga sessions & wild swimming to chill-out tents and massages. A party with strict rules. Don’t be a dick. Leave no trace. No brands. No fucks given.
