Habibi Funk & Friends — Open Air Weekender in Hackney Wick

**Tickets on sale exclusively to those that sign up: Tuesday 2nd June at 10am BST. Link below**

After a sold-out first year, Habibi Funk returns to sign off the summer once again. This time, it’ll be a full weekend takeover in the sun-drenched setting of Hackney Bridge Garden…

The most exciting UK show of the Habibi Funk label to date (and two of the last Open Air shows of '26), this is a celebration of the richness of music from across SWANA and beyond. The label has brought together a cross-generational programme of artists they work with and friends, rooted in eclecticism and deep musical selection.

With DJ sets from of Dar Disku, Jamz Supernova, My Analog Journal, Zahra, Shaqdi, Machi, Guts and more; plus live shows from Kazdoura, The Scorpios, alongside Salma’s special tribute to her long time collaborator Ziad Rahbani, this is a quintessential Habibi Funk curation. Lebanese jazz, Arab funk and psych, Sudanese jazz and much more.

So come August, we'll see you in a beautiful garden on the bank of the Lee Navigation canal, 2 minutes from Hackney Wick station. Truly, there are few better shows to add into your summer 2026 diary.
