Roundhouse hosts youth-focused culture festival in London

A new cultural festival called Roundhouse Three Sixty is set to take place at the Roundhouse in London this April. The month-long event will feature music, theatre, visual arts, and more. It will showcase both famous artists and young talents, aiming to uplift the next generation. Singer Tom Odell remembers his own impactful experiences at the venue. He, along with other notable artists like Corinne Bailey Rae and Daniel Kaluuya, will contribute to the festival. Odell plans to work with young musicians to create a special performance. Bailey Rae will perform her award-winning album, while Kaluuya will direct a youth theatre company. The festival emphasizes the importance of nurturing young creatives. Roundhouse’s youth arts program has been a stepping stone for many successful artists. CEO Marcus Davey highlights the festival's goal to provide opportunities for young people from various backgrounds. This is especially important as many jobs in the arts are held by those from wealthier families. During the festival, many young performers will have their first paid gigs. They have been training and rehearsing alongside experienced artists. Comedian Munya Chawawa will host a show featuring top British talents. Tickets for the festival start at just £10, making it affordable for a wide audience. Odell and others appreciate the Roundhouse’s commitment to keeping arts accessible. The festival will run from April 1 to April 30, with more details available online.
