Question 2

ORIGINS

Accepted Answer

Four years ago, a trip to Wales had to be diverted and something beautiful was born from the smouldering wreckage of the UK’s festival-industrial complex. Now, we are finally ready to return to the place it (kind of) all began.

After three years of dancing in garages, barns and fields from Kent to Carlisle, we invite you to join us in beautiful Abergavenny, Wales as we take our party into the next phase of its evolution. We are really excited to be able to expand our capacity and welcome more attendees than ever to our community this year.

NOT OK is an intimate, community organised party that will never be run for a profit. Our welfare team, engineers and car park attendants are just as important as our artists and performers, and absolutely everyone plays a role in deciding our vision and direction.

NOT OK’s collaborative beauty depends on everyone taking responsibility and bringing the best of themselves. We invite everyone to participate in co-creating this party with us.

Question 3

SOUND

Accepted Answer

We fell hopelessly in love with dance music in loud northern clubs and that has informed our sonic ethos ever since.  Inside our main space this year, we will have a Void soundsystem, with extra subs provided from our own own soundsystem.
