DJ Stage

Hi everyone

As you may know we're planning to have a DJ area in the basketball courts at the festival.

I (Robert a.k.a. Green Renegade) and my co-organiser Dan (a.k.a. Spleen) are in the process of organising the SoundSystem and DJ arrangements.

We are in talks with the owners of the SoulSpun SoundSystem, as well as DJs in the York area. DJs that have expressed an interest in playing on the stage (along with ourselves, Green Renegade and Spleen) include Hy-Phen and Peachie B.

More details to be announced.
