About this event

Mucho Soul return for their second Soul On The Canal Side of Summer 2026, bringing another afternoon into late night journey from sunshine terrace grooves to deep house and disco after dark, with one of their strongest line ups to date.

Now nine years into their collaboration with Grow, Mucho Soul have once again pulled together a line up of experienced musical tastemakers. From 4pm, the Canal Side Terrace eases into the day with soul, rare groove, funk, boogie and sunshine jazz. From 10pm, things move indoors as the tempo lifts, rolling through deep house, disco and late night energy into the early hours.
