An evolution of the Ja Ja Ja club night (hosted at The Lexington) and taking advantage of November's dark winter ambience, the event is a joint collaboration between Ja Ja Ja Music and the Roundhouse, supported by the Nordic Embassies in London and the Nordic Culture Fund.

Making full use of the venue, the festival will also feature New Nordic food and documentary film screenings. Additionally, the Roundhouse will act as home to the Ja Ja Ja club night for the duration of the festival - bringing 6-8 up-and-coming Nordic artists to the Studio Theatre. 

Explaining the event’s aims, Anna Hildur, festival director said, "Whether it is music, film, literature, fashion, food or technology, Nordic culture is widely recognised for its innovation and individuality. Ja Ja Ja will bring these elements together - presenting some fantastic artists and offering festival goers a complete Nordic experience in the heart of London."
