Hospitality Bristol BBQ XL Preview
Posted on: 23 May 2017Motion in Bristol will be all about beats, bass and beer on Saturday the 10th of June when Hospitality BBQ XL returns after last year's fantastic sold out event. This year it will be even bigger and better though because the event is taking over three spaces - including the new extended front courtyard.
This all-day drum and bass special is guaranteed to get the crowds moving with the line up that has been announced; including the London Elektricity Big Band who made their debut showcase last summer at Hospitality In The Park. You will be able to see Tony on bass, Liane Carroll and Emer on vocals, Dynamite MC on the mic, Steve Pycroft on live drums and the Riot Jazz collective boasting 22 brass band members, all joining forces for a live transformation of drum and bass.
Legendary local Mercury Prize winner Roni Size (below) plus a host of Hospital favourites will be the support.
Elsewhere in another area, there will be a huge headline Jungle set from Danny Byrd followed by music from other seminal legends such as Micky Finn b2b Aphrodite, S.P.Y B2B Nu:Tone, DJ Dazee and the Ragga Twins.
This special event will also offer up a tasty range of local food vendors and you never know - there might even be some sunshine.
Regardless of the weather though, this event really is something to put in your diary because this line up is drum and bass gold.
