Following their standout performance at Hidden Beach Festival 2025, Masai Kasai return for a special open-air rooftop show at De La Warr Pavilion.

This live performance brings their high-energy blend of African rhythms, funk, soul and global groove into a unique sunset setting overlooking the sea. Set on the De La Warr rooftop, the event creates an uplifting, dance-ready atmosphere — part live concert, part summer celebration — framed by open sky, skyline views and the distinctive Hidden Beach spirit.

Masai Kasai’s 2025 Hidden Beach set was one of the festival’s most talked-about moments, drawing a joyful crowd and delivering an electrifying mix of live musicianship, rhythm-driven songs and infectious stage presence. This rooftop return welcomes them back to the Hidden Beach programme in a more intimate but equally vibrant setting, offering audiences another chance to experience their sound in a fresh environment.
