Saxon Sound System - 50th Year Celebration

A London night marking fifty years of Saxon Sound System, the British reggae sound system founded in the 1970s, with artists, DJs and past and present members of the Saxon family taking part.

Saxon Sound System is a British reggae sound system founded in London in the 1970s, and 2026 marks fifty years of its activity. It ranks among the leading sound systems in British music and has given a platform to performers such as Maxi Priest, Papa Levi, Tippa Irie and Smiley Culture. Its work has also carried UK reggae and sound system culture to audiences in other countries.

The anniversary celebrations began at Notting Hill Carnival, where the Saxon Corner on St Lawrence Terrace hosted a large gathering of guests, friends and sound system followers. This London evening brings together artists, DJs, selectors, friends and members of the Saxon family, past and present, to look back over five decades of the sound. The programme is billed to include special guests alongside the sound system's own line-up.

Electric Brixton is a London concert venue. The night suits anyone following reggae and sound system culture, and those interested in the work of a family of sound system players across half a century.
