Three Sixty Festival

Julie’s Top 5 LIVE

Julie Adenuga brings the unfiltered chaos of Julie’s Top 5 to the Roundhouse, debating the ultimate Black British Anthems with special guests Trevor Nelson, Rachael Anson, Sarel and Chuckie Online

Get ready for a night of unfiltered music-ranking chaos as Julie Adenuga brings her hit show Julie’s Top 5 to its biggest stage yet – expect side-eyes, shouting matches and a celebration of British music past and present.

Join Julie and her special guests Trevor Nelson, Rachael Anson, Sarel and  Chuckie Online plus more to be announced, as they battle it out to answer one impossible question: What are the Top 5 Black British Anthems of all time?

Each guest will arrive armed with their own personal Top 5, but by the end of the night, they must collectively agree on just five songs to make the final list. Friendships may be tested. Egos will be bruised.

With Black British music spanning generations and genres, from Grime and Garage to Rap, Afro Swing and beyond, this isn’t just a debate, it’s a celebration of a rich, always evolving musical legacy.

Soundtracked by Julie’s house band, alongside some very special surprise live performances, this is the kind of energy you simply cannot recreate from your sofa. And it’s what Three Sixty festival is all about.

Are you ready to throw hands for Talkin’ The Hardest, campaign for POW or petition for P’s & Q’s? Bring your opinions. Bring your energy. Bring your voice, because at the end of the night, only five songs will survive.
