We're back at our favourite club-shaped festival of fun for quite possibly our biggest line-up of the summer to round off the sweaty season in style. Two huge acts still to be announced on this as the month goes on - both are truly special guests!
This has been an important summer for Passing Clouds, celebrating 10 years as the most brilliant party venue in town and resisting threats from developers to turn this staple of the London's music scene into an office block... The strength of support they've been recieving shows just how much love there is out there - the people love Passing Clouds and Passing Clouds loves you back!

Using nothing more than his voice, a mic, an fx box and a loop-pedal, London’s MC Xander creates intricate, multi-layered music that never fails to amaze. Beautiful choir-esque melodies mix with fat beatbox, growling dubby sub-bass and Xander’s conscious brand of lyricism. The sound he makes is so sonically rich and danceable, it is easy to forget it is all from the mouth.
