REN Announces Secret Garden Party

From a post by REN
As you may know, i’ve had a pretty… interesting…. week…. 😭🤣

Despite this, it feels so good to be back on home soil with the people I love. When life has allowed me, I’ve been pouring absolutely everything into preparing for The Secret Garden Party show.

This is my first live show in 5 years, and it’s going to be absolutely insane – over 2hrs of classics and unheard new material with guest appearances from people you have come to know and love.

Because I am still in recovery for brain damage and autoimmunity, I won’t be doing a full-blown tour this year, and am I being really selective with the shows I’m doing. Secret Garden Party were kind enough to offer us a free space and help with production to film Money Game 3 last year, which is one of my favorite videos to date, and me putting on this show for them is me returning the favor!

Some of my fans have pointed out that this is taking place at a festival and so tickets are over £200 for the full weekend – while this is a standard festival price, I know this is something that is unobtainable for some people within the community..

I’ve heard this loud and clear, been scratching my head, and have been working behind the scenes with Secret Garden Party to secure some day tickets for the Saturday I am performing at a discount. Beyond this, I also know some of my fan base are drawn to my music because they resonate with health complications and some do not have the energy to attend a full weekend, so this is also a gesture for you guys!!

Beyond this, I know Secret Garden Party are struggling a bit financially because in a recession they are potentially going to take a huge loss on this festival, but I know how much they’ve been working towards putting on the party on the year, whilst supporting bringing my vision to life, as well as the vision for Money game 3. There have been 40 festivals in the UK shut down this year which is part of a wider problem in the live music scene with also 125 grassroots music venues shutting down last year in 2023. Festival’s like The Secret Garden Party are integral for the development of independent artist’s as well as providing a platform of opportunity to grow their audiences.

I absolutely love these guys. Because of this, I decided to acquire a bunch of full weekend tickets myself that I’ll be selling on to people struggling for cash at half price (or pay as you feel if you want to pay extra!) Pls don’t give secret garden any grief if you already have a ticket coz they’re already taking a big hit here, and trust me when I say they’re beautiful people with the renegade spirit which is why we’re doing this!!!!!

Any losses I’ll personally take, I reckon I’ll make back after releasing a sick video of the whole show afterwards!!!

All I ask in return is you scream at the top of your lungs and make the welcome home a BIG ONE!!!

Let’s have it!!!
