As part of the National Theatre’s River Stage Festival this summer, Hackney Empire’s Young producers will be joining as a River Stage partner. 

Hackney Empire’s Young Producers return from 30 June – 2 July, with three free days of youth-fuelled talent, unbelievable energy and pure vibes. Curated by the next generation of young creatives aged 14-21, the Young Producers will showcase the hottest London talent for the festival’s final weekend. Hosted by Scully (No Signal Radio), audiences can expect dance crews, rap battles, big vocals, steel pans, grime, ‘90s bangers, alongside some of the latest crazes tearing up TikTok. 

One of the Hackney Empire’s Young Producers said, ‘We’re so excited to be invited back by the National Theatre for a second year. It’s such a privilege to be given the River Stage again to make it our own and showcase the best of London’s emerging talent.’

The festival is returning for its seventh year this summer, opening on 9 June and finishing on 2 July. The event will feature four weekends of live music, theatre and art. Programme details will be announced closer to the event.
