Refuge Worldwide heads back to Uzbekistan for Sublimation

We are excited to be returning to Sublimation Fest, an independent festival of contemporary music and art, aimed at developing the Uzbek cultural scene.

On Friday 12th September, Refuge Worldwide will be hosting a stage for the second year in a row, this time featuring sets from Kikelomo, No Plastic, Leona, Basic Chanel, plus locally based artists DSL System (live) and ISL. You'll be able to tune and listen to the festival on Refuge Worldwide's second radio channel, which will automatically pop-up on the live banner at the top of our website.

This year's Sublimation takes place at the 8000 capacity Yunusobod Sport Complex in downtown Tashkent, which will be home for the weekend to a range of DJs, live performers, speakers and workshop hosts. Founded by Madina and Sabina, Sublimation's vision is to "help the voices of their homeland resonate globally, breaking stereotypes and highlighting the rich cultural heritage of Uzbekistan."

In recent months Sublimation's crew have hosted a monthly radio residency on Refuge Worldwide, find all the episodes here. Elsewhere on the festival lineup is Less Feeling, Chloe Lula, Lola X Choir live, and a Sabinē percussion hybrid set.
