Festival INFO
Experience the pinnacle of audiovisual performing arts at Rich Mix, in the cultural heart of east-central London.
Our diverse programme features an array of audiovisual performances from emerging artists as well as more established names, participatory workshops and opportunities to get involved with our jam session and open-mic electronic-music performance slots.
Two rooms upstairs at Rich Mix will be the main hub of our festival. Each afternoon will be filled with enlightening workshops and talks, paving the way for electrifying live performances in the evening. The Saturday night features a late finish – with a high-energy afterparty in the downstairs gig space.
We have kept the ticket prices as low as possible. When ordering for more than one session a discount will be applied – so that an all day or weekend pass becomes the cheapest option. Check back for the box office link at the Rich Mix website soon!
Crux is committed to inclusivity, showcasing a spectrum of incredible artists and implementing both an environmental and safer spaces policy. Rich Mix is a fully accessible venue – please reach out to one of our team if you have any concerns.

Rich Mix is a fully accessible venue – with a ramped entrance, a lift between floors, a low-height bar area (on the ground floor) and accessible toilets.
Do you have a text-based version of the event programme?
We will have one online before the event.
Who or what is Crux anyway?
This second festival will take place on our 11th birthday! We have been putting on non-profit orientated events that showcase both emerging and more established artists in more than a dozen different venues across London. The festival is being produced in partnership with Rich Mix and is funded by Arts Council England.
CRUX FESTIVAL 2024 AFTERMOVIE
The first Crux festival took place in April 2024. Here’s a quick glimpse at all the wonderful things that happened in that first edition. We brought two days of audiovisual performances, workshops, talks, jam sessions and more to Rich Mix in London.
Thanks to all of the performers and workshop leaders, our amazing technical team, Rich Mix for being a great venue and Arts Council England for project funding. We will be doing it all again 19-20 April 2025.
