Over the weekend Curbana Festival ‘a celebration of urban arts’ announced phase 1 of their line-up.
The team behind ‘Curbana’ spoke out on what the motivation is behind the festival. Read below:
The motivation behind Curbana and what sparked the initiative was the lack of respect for Britain's urban scene. Britain's urban culture was embraced on social media and on underground scenes but lacked a mainstream presence. After realising how many countless festivals there are for commercial and rock music like Glastonbury and Wireless, an idea for a solely urban festival emerged. We believe that urban sees no colour just creative innovation.
