Celebrating three decades of unstoppable groove, Nottingham’s legendary collective Fat Digester mark their 30th anniversary with a very special Yard Party at Castle Rock Brewery on Saturday 13 June 2026. Renowned since the 90s for their explosive, genre-smashing blend of funk, soul, hip-hop, dub, jazz and Latin rhythms, Fat Digester are all about one thing: getting people moving. Expect multiple lineup changes, a powerhouse rhythm section, soaring horns, deep bass and zero subtlety, delivered with the joy, silliness and inclusive spirit that’s kept them filling venues and festival tents for 30 years. With support from friends old and new, surprise appearances from past members, nostalgic nods to the band’s roots, and even a specially commissioned anniversary beer, this promises to be a one-off celebration of music, community and pure dancefloor energy — a proper Fat Digester party, exactly as it should be.
Held in the brewery yard of Castle Rock Brewery at the The Old Cold Store (Vat & Fiddle) Nottingham NG2 1NB.
