On Saturday 27th May, music platform NTS is set to launch its first ever music festival in the heart of South London: One Day. Bringing together a typically eclectic line-up of artists and DJs across two stages, the greenery of Burgess Park will mark the beginning of a new frontier for the station.

Detroit icon Theo Parrish headlines the dance music stage with his first UK show in over 3 years. Having first touched the decks in 1986, his lifelong obsession with sound and dedication to vinyl has carved out an unmistakable identity for one of the true masters of the scene. Loosely found orbiting the realms of house and techno, his organic productions are impossible to pigeonhole and are often blessed with touches of soul, jazz and funk, making some deeply layered, machine music. With 4 hours to flex his repertoire, expect the maestro to reach deep into his bag of timeless gems.

Heading up the live music stage is hip-hop maverick JPEGMAFIA. The LA based, Brooklyn native has been a staple of the rap scene for the last decade with numerous acclaimed hits spanning 4 studio albums. Experimental in style and energetic by nature, his high-octane performances are a gripping fusion of trap, punk, R&B and noise rap.

From its inception in an intimate Hackney studio 12 years ago to broadcasting from over 50 cities worldwide, the musical ethos of NTS has always remained the same; championing the best of the musical past, celebrating the present and cultivating the future of underground music. This ethos will be translated into a tangible form on 27th May, as NTS embarks on a new adventure with its debut music festival, One Day.

Located in Zone 2, Camberwell, the idyllic grounds and lake of Burgess Park are an iconic contrast to the built up area that surrounds it. It has a rich community-driven history and provides an ideal setting for the festival, with close proximity to the London city centre. One Day will mark the first time the park will host a music festival.

In true NTS spirit, expect to be taken on a sonic expedition with a world-wide array of distinctive selectors, live performers and beloved residents, spread across two stages of music. Sign up for early access to tickets and stay tuned for more details.
