Quantic, Zero 7, Joe Armon Jones + more at Sawmills
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Sell out warning! For WOMAD-ready festival phreaks, this is the biggest Bristol day of the year: 14 hours of forward-thinking global bass antics and infectious live riddims across 5 venues in St Jude’s. With massive DJ sets from Ninja Tune globe-trotter Quantic and formative downtempo acid-jazzers Zero 7, Dar Disku’s winning Levantine disco squelch, electrifying ancestral afro-funk from Raz & Afla + much much more."
