The Fairey Band presents Acid Brass

Acid Brass

For the first time at Durham BRASS Festival, The Fairey Band brings Acid Brass an unlikely but exciting fusion of Acid House anthems performed by traditional British brass band.

Brainchild of British conceptual artist Jeremy Deller, Acid Brass explores the deep social and political connections between the brass band and Acid House movements. Since its inception the project has earned widespread acclaim for its bold innovation and infectious energy.

Renowned for pushing musical boundaries, The Fairey Band continues to evolve Acid Brass, blending iconic Acid House anthems with ’90s house classics and fresh new arrangements. The event will also feature a live DJ setting the atmosphere for a dance filled evening. 

Combining culture, history, entertainment and world-class brass musicianship, Acid Brass is a genre-defying spectacle that promises to be an unforgettable highlight of the festival. Do not miss it!

Please note that this is a standing gig with limited seating available.
