Eastern Margins launches ‘Road to Margins United’ ahead of September festival

This weekend, Eastern Margins kicks off Road to Margins United—a summer-long programme of events building towards the return of Margins United on September 27, 2025.

Supported by Carhartt WIP, the series spans London, Paris, and Amsterdam, spotlighting the breadth of East and South-East Asian (ESEA) creativity across music, fashion, food, and art.

Each event is a warm-up to the main festival, comprising club nights, cross-cultural collaborations, and community-led gatherings, connecting artists and collectives from across the diaspora.

Collaborators include Seoul Community Radio, Yeti Out, Half East Records, and artists such as LVRA & Soda Plains, Jianbo, Kimmah and more, spotlighting underground scenes and fostering cultural exchange.

See the full schedule below.

The series culminates in Margins United, Eastern Margins’ flagship day-and-night festival, returning to London after a sold-out debut in 2024.
