Loop Festivals

Building on the success of previous festivals programmed by Loop, Upload was a multi-platform, two-day festival featuring a stunningly diverse programme of new projects based from within and around the Loop Collective. Performances ranged from 20 drummers playing on Dalston's Gillett Square, to a club night featuring boundary-pushing African music, to a specially commissioned large ensemble bringing together some of Europe’s most forward thinking improvisers and composers.
True to its name, the festival extends into the digital universe with performances being available to download online in a variety of mediums.

In March 2011 Loop ran a critically acclaimed four night festival at the Forge, Camden, featuring international guest artists from France, Ireland, Germany, Scotland and from the LIMA collective in Leeds. Two of the sets from Loop bands Mirror and Splice were broadcast on BBC Radio 3's Jazz on 3 programme.
