“A venue as original and unique as Northshire requires a line up of talent that compliments the surroundings and buys into the whole ethos of the festival.
“Hosting the whole event are The Funkbox DJs, a collective who have enjoyed a massive rise over the past few years with their unique, genre hopping, energetic party vibes, gaining quite a following after hosting their own events and supporting such other nights as *riffraff, Small Trees, Retro and Mode.”
The event will feature artists such as Josh Micky, Devstar, Lee Pennington, Lee Walker, as well as local talent to support these acts.
