La Rumba IV

La Rumba IV is coming your way!

We have so much fun running this festival that we just had to bring you a FOURTH edition of the wildly popular La Rumba event.

La Rumba is a full-day celebration of live Latin American music in Oxford, bringing together local favourites and nationally connected artists for an afternoon and evening of rhythm, community, and culture 🎶

The festival opens at 1pm with Los Bueyes and friends, featuring members of Son Cowleño, the Martin Goodwin Project, and Salsazón performing classic salsa and Latin covers alongside original material. A welcoming beginner salsa class at 2pm helps new audiences connect with the music. At 5pm, Oxford’s much-loved Los Grillos bring their distinctive psychedelic cumbia sound, before Juan Pachanga y su Banda close the evening at 7pm with high-energy tributes to Héctor Lavoe and other salsa legends 💃🪘

La Rumba celebrates live music, shared heritage, and growing audiences for Latin sounds in Oxford.

Doors open at 12pm*, with the music starting at 1pm*, interspersed with dance lessons at a complete beginner level that anyone can try. The night ends with Kwassa Kwassa DJs playing until close!

EARLY BIRD TICKETS AVAILABLE at £12 UNTIL 25th March!

Those underage will need to leave the venue once the final band has finished, due to licensing restrictions.
