Incognito, Brass Construction and Change are amongst the artists performing at the Margate Soul Festival from 31 Jully to 2 August.

The Kent music festival is dubbed as the ‘ultimate beach party’ with soul music performed live, as well as tunes from select DJs. Enjoy some stunning Margate sunsets with a soulful vibe.

For 2024, the main stage is located on Newgate Lower Promenade, beneath the Lido sign. But this festival is about much more than some great music. The soul movement is rooted in the local community and has a heart of gold with £1 in each ticket supporting community and environmental projects in the town.

You can also take the Margate Soul Train for a scenic ride from the station to the festival, or join in the Cycle Del Mar soul bike ride, or browse through some great soul vinyl at the fair.
