La Rumba IV Festival
2026-05-16 12:00 - 2026-05-17 01:00 | James Street Tavern, James Street, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX4 1EU, United Kingdom
La Rumba IV is coming your way!
We have so much fun running this festival that we just had to bring you a FOURTH edition of the wildly popular La Rumba event.
On 16th May, we’ll celebrate Latin music and dance with a day long festival incorporating 6 hours of live bands and 3 hours of introductory dance classes.
Doors open at 12pm*, with the music starting at 1pm*, interspersed with dance lessons at a complete beginner level that anyone can try.
Full line-up to follow! EARLY BIRD TICKETS AVAILABLE at £12 UNTIL LINE-UP ANNOUNCEMENT!
Tickets £14 in advance / £16 on the door.
Children under 12 go free, 12-18 years old half price.
It’s helpful for us to know in advance if you’re bringing someone under 18 with you, but if you don’t get their ticket in advance, we would still welcome them on the day and their ticket can be paid (if appropriate) on the door! Those underage will need to leave the venue once the final band has finished, due to licensing restrictions.
(OUSS and student discount applies on the door, and for tickets bought at ¡Muevete! Salsa and Bachata on Wednesday nights)

With blistering keyboards, driving bass grooves, powerful trombone lines and a steaming percussion section, this is Cuban music at its very finest.
