The leafy, covered rooftop bar is being taken over all weekend by a host of our pals. A counterpoint to our main stages this is a space to rest your weary festival feet, mingle and take in the breath-taking view of Digbeth. There will be a plethora of guest artist DJ slots, karaoke, and some very special intimate live sets. Let’s all pray to the weather gods!
Take a gander at this wonderful line-up…
