FRIDAY night kicks off the best rave in London with rap star Professor Green headlining the Main Space. After dominating the underground scene for over six years, 2010 has been the year of the Professor. His breakthrough track I Need You Tonight went straight into the Top 10, a success replicated with Just Be Good To Green featuring Lily Allen. Alive Till I’m Dead, his first mainstream album release, rocketed straight to number 2 in the charts.
DJ Toddla T will be dropping explosive beats throughout the night, and underground maestros Breakage, Redlight and Jakwob will also be on hand to keep the party jumping, with interventions from Circus Space performers. Legendary Glasgow club promoters turned record label Numbers will be showcasing some of their hottest signings, with Club Snap, Crackle & Pop hosting Room 2. Those looking for a surreal start to their weekend can catch the weird and wonderful stars of the Cabaret Tent hosted by the quirky Marisa Carnesky – expect everything from twisted theatrics to trapeze, and burlesque to the bizarre, courtesy of London’s finest cabaret stars.
SATURDAY offers the biggest and best names in urban music. BBC Radio 1 DJ, Bestival founder and Turning Point champion Rob Da Bank will deliver the coolest, quirkiest tracks of the leftfield music scene. Fellow BBC Radio 1 star and club DJ, MistaJam will host a day of live performances, groundbreaking music and comedy turns. His music credentials speak for themselves, having opened for the likes of Wu Tang Clan and Dizzee Rascal. Grime collective Roll Deep, whose most famous members have included Dizzee Rascal and Wiley, will also perform backed by a full live band.
Singer and MC Ms. Dynamite will return to North London for her homecoming gig. The star will showcase the songs that made her one of the most exciting stars of the new millennium and helped her bag the Mercury Music Prize. Redux are hosting Room 2 with live music, DJs and a graffiti battle, and Show & Tell will host an evening of comedy with performances from Ivo Graham, Will Andrews and James Acaster, all compered by Simon Munnery. There’ll also be a unique opportunity to catch the Wildcard entries to this year’s 2010 Funny Women Awards hosted by comedy heavyweight Deborah Frances-White. Six budding comediennes will be brought back for a “Last Chance Saloon” and only two will be given the chance to re-enter the competition and win the coveted Funny Women Awards. For an extra treat, fans will be able to catch a special performance from Channel 5’s Don’t Stop Believing supergroup.
SUNDAY winds down with an eclectic mix of music, poetry, comedy and artistic interventions throughout the Roundhouse's more intimate spaces. Pioneering independent promoters Eat Your Own Ears head up Room 2 with the best up-and-coming new music talent from London and beyond including Actress, Bo Ningen, and Radiant Dragon. London Word Festival play host in the Marquee with Laura Dockrill, Ross Sutherland and Terry Saunders performing alongside the Roundhouse Poetry Collective and Roundhouse Experimental Choir.
