Tom Wiltshire, Head of Music, Boiler Room, says: “We’re really excited to unveil the line up for our first festival. Showcasing some of today’s most exciting underground talent, giving a real flavour of London’s vibrant music scene. We’re proud to bring this group of artists together for a celebration of the incredible talent available in this corner of the universe.”
