About Flesh

Many people talk about equality in electronic music but Flesh is taking real-life action to make it happen, with 100% of the lineup made of underrepresented artists and 90% of the lineup featuring gender minorities in music, including a spectrum of ethnicities. The party will be one huge celebration of forward-thinking LGBTQ+ energy.

Flesh is an event for LGBTQ+ individuals, their friends and allies; the festival is open to everyone wanting to have a good time. Springfield Farm is located in a beautiful woodland a stone's throw from London, near St Albans in Hertfordshire, 40 minutes from Kings Cross.

Flesh will also have food stalls, pop-up shops and play areas, and an activity tent hosted by Riposte, a queer club night with an artistic and community-based take on clubbing. This will be a place where people can socialise, partake in workshops and panels, share their experiences and relax without any pressure.
