The event will feature two covered stages, street food, a variety of bars and vintage stalls bringing together a real carnival atmosphere. 

An eclectic selection of artists from around the globe already confirmed are Jamie Jones who,  via his label, Hot Creations, has been credited with creating an iconic sound that has paved the way for a warmer, more melodic, deeper side of house and techno to emerge.
