Breakz ‘n’ Beats organiser, Leo Donaldson, said: “We are excited to bring an electrifying night of music with a high energy blend of house, breakbeats and old school sounds moving through bass genres and into the likes of jungle and drum and bass.
“It is an amazing opportunity to share our sets with a crowd that appreciate the genres and offer an alternate space along the seafront for people to round out their Liberation Day celebrations after a day of commemorations and family fun.”
