Salon London's ALSO Festival goes digital!

Event Line-up moves online for first fully digital festival

Where ideas run wild!

With the UK in the midst of lockdown, the little festival with big ideas, ALSO, has taken the bold step to move it’s packed programme online. ALSO has today launched its first fully digital festival, providing a weekend of content for the covidly-incarcerated.

From 15th - 17th May 2020, an incredible offering of ALSO’s talks and workshops will take place entirely online, with the physical festival being postponed until 29th - 31st August. Tickets for the virtual only festival are available online now.

ALSO’s digital line up will offer online visitors the very finest in big ideas, music masterclasses, food-based festivities, comedy, wellness and at home experiences, providing a weekend of curated entertainment to help break free from monotony. The initial line up is available online, with further speakers, acts and workshops being added in the coming weeks. Highlights include:

TALKS
Big ideas are huge at DigitALSO, with the line up already offering an extensive array of speakers including award-winning social geographer, Prof Danny Dorling who will be talking guests through his big ideas on how to make the most of this slowdown and award-winning science writer Gaia Vince will help us reflect on the way we now want to evolve beyond the pandemic.

Lauren Bravo heads up the ‘fast fashion’ theme, making listeners look again at the industry of clothes and Prof Sir David Spiegelhalter explains how ‘The Art of Statistics’ can help you look at the wealth of information currently overloading audiences around the world and how best to navigate a way through to the truth.

Claudia Hammond will invite listeners all to use their newly found free time to re-establish a positive relationship with rest and recovery; two essential components for our health and well-being, and our in-festival Professor of Theoretical Physics from Trinity College, Cambridge, David Tong, will invite digital goers to turn our gaze to the skies during this challenging time.

FOOD
Food has always been at the heart of ALSO’s festivals and the digital edition is no different. On Sunday afternoon festival goers will be brought together as we recreate one of our favourite ALSO moments, the Balearic Brunch. ALSO’s resident chefs James Knight and Rebecca Otero will join us from Ibiza to host a paella masterclass from the sunshine to help viewers a taste of sunshine into their homes.

WELLNESS
Wellness couldn’t be higher on the agenda for ALSO’s digital addition, with the programme offering it in abundance. From Chandra Namaskar with Freya Edmondson, to calming and rejuvenating candlelit meditations with Sarah from Sankalpa, to an immersive version of ALSO’s much loved wild swimming and the art of forest bathing, all available to participate in from home.

COMEDY
ALSO will be bringing it’s much loved comedy to the digital celebration with festival favourite, Gallic Symbol,Marcel Lucont, who will be bringing his wine and joining viewers online to host a special version of his acclaimed cabaret show. Master absurdist comedian, John Luke Roberts, will be bringing his ‘Terrible Wonderful Adaptations’ show to the digital celebration, wrangling together some of the best comedians and idiots to create a never-before-seen adaptation of an unadaptable text. Alexis Dubus will also be joining the line up, hosting The Comedy Campfire, which will feature UK-based and international comedians sharing tales from their very own campfires.

MUSIC
Mastering a new skill has become a requisite of lockdown life and ALSO Digital guests will be afforded an excellent opportunity to hone new skills to wow family and friends during their new online meet up. ALSO’s resident vocal coach (known widely for her work on The Voice UK, Michael McIntyr
