THE COOKOUTRETURNS IN 2020 AT STUDIO 338
The Cookout returns! The food-centric day out to remember has today announced its highly anticipated return for 2020. The Cookout has evolved from a group of friends grilling food & listening to music in a parking lot in South-East London to a thriving residency in London’s Studio 338 spread across 3 dates: Sunday 31st May, 21st June and 26th July. Tickets go on sale 9am Friday 6th March at TheCookout.co.uk
The Cookout now has over 10,000 fans attending across the May, June & July dates but still, it remains rooted in celebrating community, creativity and inclusion. Started by Ben Cross & David Dabieh, two friends from South-East London, The Cookout is a food-centric day out that celebrates artists across Afrobeats, R&B, Hip-hop, and Latin music. Previously The Cookout played host to new talent such as Dave and AJ Tracey, who have since gone on to be award-winning artists, with special guest appearances from the likes of Idris Elba & BBK. The 2020 food vendors and line-up will be revealed shortly, so be sure to keep an eye out for future announcements.
Previous hand-picked food vendors included three family-run business, Bokit’la (three brothers from Guadeloupe), Chalet Let’s Eat (authentic Ghanaian cuisine), and Rice & Peas (an iconic west-Indian shop from south London).
The annual London event epitomizes the spirit of youth, DIY spirit and a creative community in the form of a Cookout. From the fried foods to the great tunes, everything about it is carefully curated to evoke nostalgic feelings of squad linkups. Whether you’re a festival veteran, a foodie or a first-timer who just loves London’s creative scene, The Cookout will make you feel like you’re at the outdoor house party of your dreams.
2020s residency will continue to attract a richly diverse audience of fans from all walks of life. With a track record for spotting the future greats, The Cookout team will be curating another line up of pioneering talent & special guests.
Hosted at the impressive Studio338, artists will perform across two breathtaking stages: a glass-roofed terrace and an outdoor beach. Look out for the pièce de résistance, The Cookout Corner, which will have its very own food vendors cooking up the house’s smoky goodness – think Jerk chicken and rice & peas, Bokits from Guadeloupe, and Trini doubles.
Tunes to make you move, smoky goodness to eat, & cocktails all day long. Bring on Cookout 2020!
