“Over the last 14 years, Outlook Festival has been an incredible party, but underpinning it has been this community of people with a love of this music and culture. Once a year DJs, MCs, bands, producers, record label owners, promoters, and all their followers have come together and called outlook home for a weekend. We’ve seen countless dubplates made, new partnerships forged, tunes produced and friendships made, and to have the ability to bring that together again on Uk soil is amazing.”Joe Barnett – Outlook Festival Co-Founder

Outlook’s epic history spreads back almost 15 years, and they have long been an iconic name in the music world. Starting as a humble university party in Leeds, then a small-time Croatian gathering and soon expanding into a global phenomenon; a 15,000 capacity festival, worldwide events series, The Outlook Orchestra, mix series, and more. Founded through a love of sound system culture, Outlook is a testament to passion and drive that spans the test of time. Outlook UK expands the festival’s current offering alongside Outlook Origins taking place in Croatia in the summer.
