HACKNEY ALT FEST
4 - 10 May 2026

Hackney Altfest is a seven-day cultural festival celebrating the borough’s best alternative venues — where underground music, esoteric practice, experimental art, craft drinks, and dive-bar cultures intersect.

Across the festival week, each venue will host a curated programme of daytime and evening events that highlight its unique contribution to Hackney’s alternative community.

Expect bands, DJs, talks, tours, tastings, food and more!
