This part of the festival will focus on giving electronic and dance artists, which will be featuring none other than, RnB producer and DJ, Throwing Shade, who said, “it’s so exciting to be performing at one of the best festivals for new and undiscovered music – especially in Brighton, one of my favourite cities!”

Festival organiser, Kevin Moore, said: “I really do feel we’ve got something for every type of new music fan, no matter what you’re into. The addition of our Young Adult wristbands for those aged 16 – 17, along with our Late Escape programming has opened the festival to new attendees and fans. I can’t wait to see everyone in Brighton very soon.”
