SHAKE THE HIGH ROAD

Our flagship event SHAKE THE HIGH ROAD is an independent East London music festival held across various venues in Leytonstone, East London.

OGAM Music's Simon Singleton founded the festival in 2017 and continues to curate and oversee this multi-venue event, which has sold out each of the last three years, with nearly 1000 attendees each year.

We manage end-to-end operations, from talent curation/booking to stakeholder relationships, budgeting, and brand partnerships. We have generated strategic deals with key partners (inc. BBC Introducing, Rock 'n' Roll Book Club, and local record shop Dreamhouse Records) as well as sponsorship deals with Pretty Decent Beer Co., Waltham Forest Council, L&Q Housing, Churchills, and Trading Places.

The festival has featured diverse lineup over the years - previous include Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip), Hayden Thorpe, Gwenifer Raymond, Gold Panda, MADMADMAD, Falle Nioke, Sophie Jamieson, Snapped Ankles, Dele Sosimi's Afrobeat Quartet, Donna Thompson, Nathan Fake, Steve Davis, Daudi Matsiko, Ethan P. Flynn, and Deptford Northern Soul Club

The most recent SHAKE THE HIGH ROAD was on Saturday 2 May 2026 with unforgettable shows in the magnificent St John’s Church, the iconic Red Lion Ballroom. the wonderful Leytonstone Social and the St John’s Church Hall (a smaller venue behind the main church). One ticket offered access to all the music.

SHAKE THE HIGH ROAD will return in May 2027 even bigger!.
