Migration Matters Festival closing party with K.O.G Soundsystem

Hear music from around the world at the party to close Migration Matters Festival 2026. Featuring:

K.O.G Soundsystem Kweku Sackey aka K.O.G (Kweku of Ghana) is a multi-dimensional creative force, combining exquisite writing skills with shamanistic live performance, fierce raps, perfectly on pitch singing across a massive vocal range and some absolutely wicked dance moves. Not to mention his skills as a percussionist, arranger, bandleader and art director. A true poet and storyteller, he uses a mix of English, Pidgin and Ga to paint sonic pictures that reach deep into the souls of everyone ready to listen.

DiaspoRIDDIM returns to Migration Matters Festival 2026 after last year's massively successful debut, where guest DJs Lyla (Pakistan), Chook Ly (Cambodia/Vietnam/France), and the Beirut Groove Collective (Lebanon) alongside local talent Kom Kom(British-Khmer), Palanca Negra (Angola/Portugal) and DisOrientalist (Pakistan), brought us the most dancefloor shaking borderless mixes.

This is club culture at its most boundary-breaking: a night where artists whose identities have been shaped by migration bring together traditional sounds and future seeking electronica. A journey through the global rhythms that define diaspora communities: Kuduro's raw energy from the African diaspora in Portugal, North African flavors driving French hip-hop and bass music, and South Asian underground that rewired UK clubs in the '90s, influencing everything from D&B to Grime, genres which themselves grew out of Caribbean sounds crossing oceans and evolving into something entirely new. Proof that music never stops reinventing itself through cultural exchange!

As well as Mim Suleiman and Sheffield One World Choir.
