Jerk Jam Festival 2024

“Rise again and roar like lions”, We will never give up! Jerk Jam Festival returns in 2024 with a
new date, we can’t control the weather but we can change the date.

Saturday 8th June, 2024 at Pinkmead Farm, Botley, Southampton from 11am to midnight.
This year we’re proud to have David Rodigan, Goldie Lookin Chain, Fabio & Grooverider, Altern8, and more join the line up for Jerk Jam 2024.

Jerk Jam Festival has been presenting a selection of the best local, national, and international
reggae, roots, dub, drum n’ bass, ska & funk over the years, and been nominated for 2 national awards “Best UK Grassroots festival” and “Best UK boutique festival”.

From humble backyard beginnings, Jerk Jam has evolved into a fully fledged celebration of
Caribbean food, music and good vibes. Central to the event is the BBQ Battle Ring hosted by south London jerk junkies “White Men Can’t Jerk”. 12 chefs battle it out for the yearly title, serving up amazing grilled food out of a custom built boxing ring from authentic jerk pan BBQs. The FREE food is distributed amongst the crowds of jerk jammers who flock to see the cook off go down!

The sights, sounds and positive atmosphere captured through the energy of the people
throughout the day, the free arts, crafts and fairground rides for young children makes for a
truly unique and unforgettable experience.

With the added option of one night of camping adjacent to the festival site, in the heart of
Hampshire at just £5 per person (kids 8 & under go free). Camper-vans welcome, we have a
limited number of spaces available, you must follow the instructions to get your pass (see our
website for more details).

Blaze up the coals, plug in the amps, Jerk Jam 2024 is returning with a roar.
