Tinchy Stryder smashes it at Live Fest!

• 26th Jul 2011

Live Fest, London’s biggest indoor festival proved a success with 6,000 music lovers packing in to watch performances on five stages at London’s O2 this weekend.

Radio One DJ Zane Lowe closed the show in front of a full Proud2, thanking the audience for what he described as a great gig with ‘so much energy in the room’.

Earlier Tinchy Stryder, Roll Deep, The Hoosiers and Tempa T entertained the crowds on Live Fest’s main stage while other performers played in the Indigo2, INC Club and on the summer terrace at Proud2.

Other acts on stage included PEGASUS BRIDGE, British indie five-piece MISSING ANDY, PARADISE POINT, SATURDAY NIGHT GYM CLUB and MY ELECTRIK.
On top of the great live acts there were DJ sets at INC Club from The Guillemots, Funeral for a Friend, Kids in Glass Houses and Gary Powell from The Libertines amongst others. The music kept going in INC Club for 14 hours!

The event was the first of its kind with music lovers who prefer a festival without wellies taking advantage of the indoor format.

Live Fest ran alongside the Grand Final of Live and Unsigned, which was won by The Trinity Band from Derby. Judges included BBC Radio One presenters Tom Deacon and Daniel P Carter, Head of BGM Music Michael King, the legendary Bez from Happy Mondays and Alex Baker from Kerrang!
