One of the defining moments came with the ‘Into the Green’ secret set, when Professor Green arrived at The Audi Haven in the new Audi Q4 e-tron. Emerging from the car with his identity concealed beneath a hood, he delivered an incredible performance that defied expectations. In a striking juxtaposition to his signature rap style, Professor Green was accompanied by a live string quartet and two backing vocalists, creating an atmospheric and emotionally charged set that quickly became one of the weekend’s most talked-about acts.
Food also played a starring role, with Audi brand ambassador and acclaimed chef Theo Randall returning to lead the Audi Kitchen. For this special dining experience, he curated an exclusive Italian three-course menu, while also taking part in an intimate culinary conversation, with renowned broadcaster and journalist Tina Daheley, where he shared stories from his celebrated career, his passion for seasonal ingredients and the craft behind his cooking.
Over the weekend, Audi welcomed a glittering guest list of brand ambassadors and friends including actor Bobby Lockwood and Chef Rohit Ghai.
Audi UK’s Head of Marketing, Tony Moore, says: “At Audi, we believe sound has the power to move people, spark emotion and create lasting connections – a philosophy that is reflected in the meticulous engineering of every Audi, where acoustics are carefully crafted as part of the driving experience. This year’s Audi Haven programme was designed to celebrate that idea in all its forms – from intimate audio moments to bold, unexpected performances. Seeing audiences respond so enthusiastically to the experience, and creating moments that truly resonated, has felt like a true demonstration of Vorsprung durch Technik.”
Through unforgettable performances, exceptional hospitality and moments of surprise, Audi once again delivered a festival experience that embodied its progressive spirit and left a lasting impression on guests and festival-goers alike.
