Tickets available here

Brainchild announces over 30 new acts for their 2018 edition based in East Sussex on the 13th-15th July 2, including a set and workshop by Shanti Celeste, sessions by gal-dem, an interactive Piñata cabaret and a whole host of emerging talent. Made up of live sets, workshops and shows by activists and emerging artists, this year is set to be their biggest yet.

Shanti Celeste joins Shabaka Hutchings as lead artists for the 2018 festival – both playing sets as well as separate sessions giving a deeper insight into their creative processes. Shanti will be headlining Friday at The Shack with an extended set, and the following day she’ll team up with CDR (a project creating opportunities to share the process of music production) to deconstruct her own tracks and give feedback on tracks sent in by emerging producers.
