ANDY C
Undoubtedly one of the most important figures in Drum and Bass, Andy C’s reputation for being one of the most energetic and skilled DJs in the scene stems back to the early days – with an active career and influence enduring stronger than ever into the modern DnB explosion. 2023 saw Andy become the first Drum & Bass DJ to headline (yet alone sell out) the almighty O2 Arena with his jaw-dropping Alive 2.0 show – which earned him a shortlist for Radio 1’s Dance Music Event of the Year award. The list of groundbreaking shows in Andy’s history is unmatched, and this is yet another spectacular show that will be talked about for years to come. His iconic ALIVE show and the legendary all night long sets are by far the most anticipated and talked about events in any DnB fan’s calendar, and you’d be hard pressed to find a single DJ on a festival line-up with a more diverse and heavy hitting set list than Andy C.
