Fools Paradise Festival

Last year’s festival saw Good Life present five interconnected themed arenas playing host to a number of exciting acts including Hot Chip, Big Narstie, Gentleman's Dub Club, Natty, Artwork and more as 4000+ people descended on Leeds. The journey has progressed and plans have evolved, meaning this year, we offer something completely different and rather special.

The creative minds behind Good Life present you with an original concept: An indoor forest party where arenas are transformed into areas of natural wilderness. Over 30 world-renowned acts await you beneath the canopy alongside an array of performers, with interactive experiences at every turn. Work your way through the thick of the jungle to find nine different habitats catering to every type of partygoer. For those that started their journey last year, this time round there are four extra venues meaning this is undoubtedly Good Life’s biggest and most daring project to date.

The lineup leaves no stone unturned as Fools Paradise 2016 presents you with an exotic blend of artists. The ever-popular JUNGLE are set to headline the main stage with a rare DJ set, supported by renowned party starters Blonde, The Heatwave and Artful Dodger. Reggae royalty, Dawn Penn will also be gracing us with her presence alongside a larger than life performance from Fatman Scoop. Finally, The genius behind ‘The Streets’ Mike Skinner rounds off a truly unique main stage bill.

What’s more, a heavyweight grime, garage and bass lineup awaits. Originators, So Solid Crew are joined by Ghetts and one of the freshest talents in the grime scene, AJ Tracey. That’s not all, here you’ll find Crazy Cousinz, Amy Becker and a collection of the best underground artists in the UK scene.

House and Disco lovers will find their haven in the rainforest themed area that will host a live performance from Crazy P, an extended set from Romare and Magnier amongst others. Look out for a special live performance from Good Life favourite Cosmo Sheldrake in here too.

Alongside the vast musical talent on display, there will be an assortment of experiences to explore. These include a secret love nest, an arctic dance-off and a boutique glitter grove to name a few. The further you look, the more you’ll discover in the tropical labyrinth of Fools Paradise Festival 2016!
