Ren, the multi-talented singer, songwriter, producer, and rapper, is set to deliver an unforgettable performance at this year’s Secret Garden Party. After battling Lyme disease for five years, Ren turned to music, channeling his experiences into a unique and captivating style.
His self-produced album ‘Sick Boi’ hit number one on the UK charts in 2023, and his viral sensation ‘Hi Ren’ has over 30 million YouTube views. Ren’s poignant cover of ‘Bittersweet Symphony’ and endorsements from icons like The Prodigy and Limp Bizkit further cement his status as one of SGP 2024’s most exciting bookings.
With strong support from BBC Radio, Ren’s Secret Garden Party set promises to be a raw and moving experience.
Hailing from Colchester, Essex, Monster Florence fuses hip-hop, punk, and UK grime with hypnotic beats and raw lyrics. What started as a one-off festival performance turned into a full-time project due to the undeniable chemistry among its six members.
Their 2020 EP ‘Cowboys & Idiots’, featuring the chart-topping Miles Kane on ‘Picture Frame’, gained major attention from BBC Radio 1 and NME.
Don’t miss Monster Florence’s electrifying performance at the Where the Wild Things Are stage, where their dynamic sound promises to captivate fans and newcomers alike.
Ruby J brings a unique fusion of genres to everything she creates, summoning a sound all of her own. Praised by Paloma Faith as “that unique voice,” Ruby J made her major UK festival debut in 2022 at the Isle of Wight Festival, and toured with The Lathums in 2023.
With early comparisons to legends like Amy Winehouse, Macy Gray, and Tina Turner, Ruby J is inspired by a collection of artists as broad as Tash Sultana and Arctic Monkeys. She picked up the guitar at 13 and has been developing her captivating stage presence ever since.
Having shared stages with The K’s, Red Rum Club, and Jamie Webster, and with radio play on Radio X, Amazing Radio, and XS Manchester, Ruby J is set to mesmerise at this year’s Secret Garden Party.
Raised in El Monte by Mexican and El Salvadoran parents, Garcia’s music blends universal rhythms and heritage-focused lyrics, drawing influences from Yves Tumor, Kate Bush, and Rosalía. Her cross-cultural anthem “Jicama” featured on Barack Obama’s annual best-of-the-year roundup.
Los Angeles pop experimentalist Angélica Garcia’s latest album, Gemelo, explores the duality of spirit and body through boundary-free electronic pop. Produced by Carlos Arévalo (Chicano Batman), the album transitions from delicate, meditative tracks to intense, healing-focused son
With praise from the New York Times, Rolling Stone, and performances at NPR’s Tiny Desk, Garcia’s SGP live show will be a must-see.
With this years festival set to kick off in one weeks time, tickets are still available for what will be the secret garden party’s return to its roots, with no main stage or headliner meaning the unsigned and independent artist are put at the forefront and celebrated the way they should be.
