Mind Expansion Pack returns! Yes, our annual Mind Expansion Pack festival will take place on 5-6 June at DEYA Brewery in Cheltenham on the Lansdown Industrial Estate. Big names. Artists pushing the envelope. Big OHM soundsystem. Lighting. Delicious beer. It’s split into Friday night, Saturday afternoon, and Saturday night, and over 90% of tickets are now sold, with Saturday night sold out.
Curating bigger lineups is always fun, and I’m thrilled to say that the first ever female nominee for a Grime MOBO (this year!), and DJ Mag 2025 Breakthrough MC/Vocalist Winner, JayaHadADream is joining the Friday night bill, alongside Nightmares on Wax.
JayaHadADream is a Jamaican-Irish rapper from Cambridge redefining the sound of UK rap with her raw lyricism and genre-blending style. She’s performed at Reading & Leeds, Boomtown, BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend, and SXSW London, earning acclaim from Rolling Stone UK, NME, and TRENCH. Her 2025 highlights include a Glastonbury run, a Timberland x Balamii set alongside Skepta, and a five-date UK tour in support of her mixtape Happiness From Agony. In October 2025, Jaya released her debut mixtape featuring Frisco, Keeya Keys, Capo Lee, Bruza, Footsie, and Big Zuu. Jaya’s poetic storytelling and magnetic stage presence place her firmly at the forefront of UK rap’s next wave.
