MSB Weekend 2026

MSB Weekend is back at Patch on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 November, marking the twelfth edition of the street dance event. It's run by Your Next Move, Gloucester's own street dance champion, and has been a fixture of the local and national Hip Hop scene since it launched in 2015. This year it's a full weekend rather than a single day, with more collaborations, a DJ set, performances, an open mic, jams and workshops running alongside the battles.

Friday 13 opens with the Gloucester Origins Jam, a Breaking session to kick things off. Saturday 14 is the main event: the Multi Styles Battle, with battles in Hip Hop, Popping and an Under 18s All Styles category for younger dancers. The battles are part of Kingdom's League, the UK's newest battle league, and the day is rounded out with demos and jams throughout. The Under 18s category returns as a competition for young people, and the whole weekend is family-friendly.

Judging the battles are Paris (Popping), K-YOO (Hip Hop) and Victor Jay (Breaking). They're also leading the workshops: Breaking with Victor Jay, Popping with Paris and Hip Hop with K-YOO. Registration for each battle happens on the day at reception, so you don't need to sign up in advance. If you're driving, the closest car park is Kings Walk, which is free after 5pm.

Battle tickets are £10 in advance and £15 on the day. Workshops are £12 each, or you can get two for £16 and three for £20. The whole thing takes place at Patch, The Forum, 5-7 Cathedral Walk, Gloucester GL1 1DF.
