WHO’S GOING TO LIFT THE ROOF RIGHT OFF THIS YEAR? Back in the nineties, Fresh earned his stripes as part of Bad Company – a d’n’b collective, who rocked your venue TOFS numerous times. These days DJ Fresh is a solid gold dancefloor hits creator and lucky for us we have him headlining. You can expect a dazzling show with hit after hit from ‘Hot right now’ to his latest tune “How love begins” (with High Contrast).

MAIN STAGE 11.30PM NME have already cited him as one of the 20 hottest producers in music right now and The Guardian have stuck him on their top ten next generation music producers list. He has garnered attention and praise from the music world for his various productions and remixes, including tracks for Florrie and Tinie Tempah (who also happens to be quite the fan).

MAIN STAGE 10PM

A huge name from your childhood soundtrack is back to rock your Summer Ball! The man (so named because he had a penchant for ice-cream as a baby) will be gearing up to perform the enormous (Chic sampling) “Be Faithful” amongst others.

APPLEBUM+CARNIVAL 9.30PM

Sloth's weekday drive time show is the most listened to radio show on BBC Radio 1Xtra and his following is rapidly growing. By night Sloth guests at big clubs across the land and his music mix is a perfect match for the Applebum & Carnival crowd.

APPLEBUM+CARNIVAL 11PM

Over the last year VANT’s live shows provoked chaos across the land with mosh pits and stage invasions exploding wherever they play.VANT have played shows with the likes of Royal Blood, festivals such as Reading, The Great Escape and Dot To Dot and they are set for big things this summer.
