Due to popular demand and following two hugely successful weeks of live music in Wilton’s Mahogany Bar, the Global Beats Festival is graduating into the auditorium.

Curated by Planetman (Little Blue Ball/Passing Clouds), for four nights only, Wilton’s will bring the cultural melting pot of East London under one roof. Featuring some of the best music from Senegal, USA, Italy, Nigeria, Venezuela, Portugal, Algeria, Congo, Brazil, Turkey, Greece, UK, Colombia, Israel, Yemen, Jamaica, Ghana, Armenia, Zimbabwe, New Zealand and Japan, this 100% world music festival with a difference boasts artists from all continents.  

Wilton’s Music Hall was built to welcome people from all over the world as they arrived into the port of London Docks. Wilton’s will be getting into carnival spreading good vibes and opening up every available space to celebrate these international collaborations.

VIP tickets: For the first time Wilton’s is creating a VIP balcony for those who are searching for something a little more exclusive. There will be a private bar, waiter service and aperitivi all within arm’s reach as well as the best views from the gorgeous balcony. These tickets are very limited so we do recommend early booking.
