Bit of a 'safe' line up and a DnB tent instead of the mixmag future heroes one But considering the date and venue had to be changed pretty much at the last minute, I'd say it's looking pretty good. Last year was an amazing day, nothing like dancing with 20,000 other people in the sunshine, hoping for more of the same this time around

I'm not a promoter or anything (I'm certainly not getting paid ), just a big fan. If any UKTAs are thinking of attending, let me tell you it's well worth it.
