Ensemble Festival 2026

Saturday 26 & Sunday 27 July

Ensemble Festival 26

Nigel “Kobby” TaylorThe Torch A high octane experience where live music and theatre, including Afrobeat, hip-hop, rap and storytelling collide. Powered by live DJ decks and shimmering synths, the cast multi-role as musicians and actors, slipping between characters and the band. Through comedy, heartbreak and a beat-driven narrative about not fitting in, the show celebrates identity, legacy and the moment you finally discover your own light. Supported by Without Walls and commissioned by Certain Blacks, Greenwich+Docklands International Festival, Freedom Festival, Stockton International Riverside Festival and Brighton Festival. 

Access information for this show will be available soon. 

Site maps at the Royal Docks will help you find the stage.
