Love Supreme Jazz Festival set to return 2015
Thursday, November 13, 2014
Having arrived in 2013 with glorious weather, a strong mix of jazz, funk and soul and garnering much critical praise, and a second year attendance in 2014 with over 20,000 people across the weekend, the Love Supreme Jazz Festival is gearing up for its third edition from 3-5 July 2015.
Set in the idyllic surroundings of Glynde Place in the Sussex Downs, just next to Glyndebourne Opera house, the festival’s first two editions successfully balanced accessible main stage headliners such as Courtney Pine, Gregory Porter, Jamie Cullum, Esperanza Spalding and Snarky Puppy alongside a vibrant mix of big name jazz artists appearing in the Ronnie Scott’s Big Top such as Dave Holland, John Scofield, Marcus Miller, Robert Glasper and Chritsian McBride. The Arena Stage also showcased the UK’s rising stars such as GoGo Penguin, Roller Trio, Laura Jurd, Melt Yourself Down, Polar Bear and Slowly Rolling Camera as well as bringing in burgeoning Brighton-based talent on the Bandstand Stage and up-and-coming jazz and blues names on the Matua Sessions Stage.
Festival director Ciro Romano commented on the upcoming third edition of the festival: “We are absolutely delighted to confirm that the Love Supreme Festival will return for its third year. We’ve been overwhelmed by the support we’ve received and by how popular the event has become in such a short space of time. Next year’s festival will undoubtedly be the biggest and best yet and we have some very exciting acts lined up."
Love Supreme 2015 takes place from 3-5 July and artists appearing will be announced shortly. Early bird tickets are available for a limited time from 1pm Thursday 13 November. Details of all ticket prices can be found at www.lovesupremefestival.com
