SO WHAT EXACTLY IS HAPPENING?

PHASE 1: FESTIVAL
This kicks off at 3PM at Exhibition White City, a Grade II-listed former engine house reimagined as a 2 storey cultural venue. A brand new space - Margins United will take over this 2,800 capacity space for the first ever festival under its roof.
The upstairs room will be taken over for live performances and DJ sets from the likes of KYARY PAMYU PAMYU, JAX JONES & FRIENDS, EMEI, TOHJI, DJ LOVE, BILLIONHAPPY & DJ LOVE.
The downstairs will feature our ETERNAL MARKET, where we'll have everything from vintage Japanese archive pieces, an exclusive CARHARTT WIP x MARGINS UNITED capsule collection, avant-garde Vietnamese jewllery to of course, delicious Pandan cakes.
PHASE 2: AFTERPARTY
As day turns to evening, we move across London to the historic Scala Kings Cross, where we enter into the full Redline Rave, helmed by MINNA-NO-KIMOCHI, HAINAFROMCHINA b2b DJ G2G and DIRTY K.
