Another mouthwatering set will come from Australian outfit Pendulum, who have proven to be one of the biggest acts in drum & bass over the years, with mesmerising shows and high energy, hard hitting productions that really rattle your ribs. Then comes General Levy, one of the most in demand MCs of his generation, he?s worked with the likes of Sly & Robbie and Shaggy and remains a true stalwart of the scene.

DJ Friction + MC Linguistics are one of d&b's dream teams having lit up stages around the world with their jump up style and unrivalled on-stage chemistry. They are a must see pairing who have very much shaped the scene over the years. Elsewhere there are the bass heavy, so called 'purple sounds' of Bristol's Joker, who was an early dubstep innovator and still major player in the bass scene, plus the fantastic four way team of Problem Central Ft aka Majistrate, Logan D, Eksman and Evil B, as well as enduring scene legend and long time hero Nicky Blackmarket
