Glastonbury 2023

The Beatles Dub Club is a project of DJ Chris Arnold. Since its explosive debut in 2022, The Beatles Dub Club has packed out stages at Glastonbury, Boomtown, Latitude, Isle of Wight, Camp Bestival, Green Man and far beyond.
The show has been championed by Fatboy Slim, who personally invited DJ Chris Arnold to perform at his All Back To Minehead Butlins weekender, and has been tipped by Far Out Magazine as one of Glastonbury’s “Top 20 Alternative Acts to Watch”.
The Beatles Dub Club has since gone truly international, with acclaimed tours across Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Bali, while continuing to light up festivals all over the UK and Ireland – including standout sets supporting UB40, Craig Charles and The Wailers.

A special DJ sunset session showcasing the music of the fab four like you&#8217;ve never heard before! Get ready to dance, Melbourne.
Beatles fans, you&#8217;re gonna love, love, love this one – from packing out stages at Glastonbury and beyond, DJ Chris Arnold is coming to the Square to take you on a magical mystery tour of his collection of covers, remixes and tracks that sampled arguably the greatest band that ever existed – The Beatles.
Expect to hear plenty of reggae, ska, latin, hip hop, dub, funk, house – and even drum and bass – takes on iconic Beatles hits.
Bring your dates and your mates, and get ready to boogie, Beatles Dub Club style. This is gonna be real fun.

A transcendent free concert performance, featuring music visionaries from across the globe: house-music pioneer François K, genre-bending Greek pop artist Σtella and hypnotic classical Indian and jazz trained vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Ganavya – live and free as part of Open Air at the Square.
For one night only, the Square will transform into a crossroads of sound, culture and connection, for this free live concert showcasing three international multi-genre superstars.
François K – the French-born pioneer whose sets at Paradise Garage and Studio 54 reshaped global dance music – brings decades of deep, textural mastery that still reverberates through contemporary electronica.
Σtella, signed to Seattle indie label Sub Pop, channels Greek pop, vintage synths and cinematic storytelling into her critically acclaimed album Up and Away, marking her as one of Europe’s most distinctive voices.
Completing the trio, Ganavya – a New York-born, California-raised vocalist and composer praised by the Wall Street Journal as ‘among modern music’s most compelling vocalists’ – fuses South Indian classical forms, jazz and experimental soul into a sound both ancient and startlingly new.
Expect an evening of luminous, border-crossing artistry – meditative, dance-driven and deeply human.
