The first line-up for Northern Bass has arrived, featuring some massive international headliners and some of New Zealand's hottest acts.
The lineup is hip-hop heavy, starring New York rapper and star of F*ck That's Delicious, Action Bronson.
He's joined by an impressive line-up of New Zealand hip-hop and R&B stars, including rappers Melodownz and JessB, producer Montell2099, hip hop crew The Settlers and R&B songstress Villette.
Other headliners include Jamaica-via-London rapper Stefflon Don, US trap outfit Keys n Krates and Kiwi drum and bass favourites Shapeshifter.
And this being Northern Bass, there's plenty more drum and bass where that came from: London Elektricity, Danny Byrd and S.P.Y will perform together for a Hospital Records takeover, hosted by Dynamite MC. Drum and bass fans will also get to see the first NZ performance by Hazard, performing back to back with Hype.
Other international acts include AJ Tracey, Ocean Wisdom, Jurassic 5's DJ Nu-Mark, DJ Yoda, Spectrasoul, Dbridge, DJ Storm, LTJ Bukem, Flava D, Eva Lazarus and Godlands. And from New Zealand; Truth, Katana, N eo, T1r and Nekolai, Aroha and Tali and Dan Aux.
