We’re Bringing MK, Hercules & Love Affair and Friend Within to Lovebox

Always a highlight of the festival season, Lovebox is synonymous with unexalted hedonism. and unrivalled fun. This year we’re not only going but we’re throwing our own party and we’ve got some pretty, pretty big names joining us.

Heading the line up is Detroit main man and comeback king MK, so get ready for a few hours of primetime house at it’s finest. Hercules & Love Affair are jetting over to do their contemporary disco thing and they’ll be joined by Dirtybird duo Catz ‘N Dogz, scouse house maestro Friend Within, the mysterious Shadow Child, Redlight, and newcomers Bontan, 99 Souls and SG Lewis. It’s going to be the best Friday night you’ve ever had.

Check out an interview with Friend Within here.

Esteemed illustrator Hattie Stewart has put together a incredibly charming animated guide to the weekend’s festivities, which see the likes of Kaytranada, Annie Mac, Hot Chip, Dusky, B. Traits and and an additional tonne of your favourite DJs decamping to Victoria Park for a few days of living on beer and burgers. Hopefully the sun will shine and we’ll have an absolute whale of a time. Well, we still will even if we’ve got brollies out, but you’ve got to live in hope.
