Opening the festival and setting the tone probably the hottest DJ in the UK right now. One sixth of pioneering record label Numbers, Red Bull Music Academy Alumni and author of FabricLive #57 – JACKMASTER kicks off our outdoor arena with an exclusive 2 hour Tweak-a-holic set.  “I don’t do eclecticism just for eclecticism’s sake,” he states firmly.

What you are guaranteed to get from his first ever live Tweak-a-Holic performance is a master selector’s instinct for creating and riding the energy of a crowd: few can get a dance floor as hyped as Jackmaster. Glasgow to Berlin to New York, and from super clubs such as Berghain and Fabric to legendary underground warehouse raves. Throughout the first half of 2013 he will be hosting a monthly show on BBC Radio 1′s In New DJs We Trust series. N.B Jackmaster is on the outdoor main stage 2pm-4pm. The Big Beach Ball 2013 at The Beach Ballroom, Beach Promenade, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, AB24 5NR Sun 5th May 2013 EARLY BIRD TICKETS CLOSE - WED 21 MAR.
