7 sets that’ll blow the roof off Illusive Festival 2024

Illusive Festival of Performing Arts returns with its tenth and final edition on Friday 6th - Sunday 8th September 2024 at Deene Park in Corby, bringing a wide selection of talent spanning genres including DnB, jungle, breaks, UKG, techno, a splash of hip-hop, and more. 

As we get closer and closer to the fest - and with weekend tickets now on final release - we took a look at just some of the artists on the festival’s incredible 2024 lineup that’ll wave goodbye to the festival the way we all should: with nothing but good vibes and bangers. 

Luck & Neat

UKG legends DJ Luck and MC Neat, the duo who dropped one of the biggest and best tracks of 1999, are set to tear the festival right up. And ‘A Little Bit Of Luck’ isn’t the only banger they’ve blessed the dance scene with; ‘Poison’ and ‘Masterblaster’ are proper dancefloor fillers, too. It’ll be the best kind of mayhem. 

Shy FX & Stamina

Fresh off releasing his ‘Rudeboy Design Soundtape’ album with Mr Williamz, and having crushed the DnB and jungle scene since day one, Shy FX’s set will definitely be a highlight at Illusive Festival 2024. His reggae-infused productions are levels above the rest and Stamina MC will be joining him… we simply cannot wait. 

Goldie Lookin Chain

Comedy rappers Goldie Lookin Chain may be out to make us laugh but their tracks also hit hard. From the super heartwarming tear-jerker, ‘Your Mother’s Got A Penis’, to ‘Soap Bar’, an ode to a certain green plant, they’ll have Illusive jumping in between laughs.

Girls Next Door

DnB and bassline girlies Girls Next Door are relatively new as a group, having been around for about two years now. Made up of three-time winner of Best Female DnB MC award MC Maddy V, singer Mila Falls, and DJ MS PINK, the ladies are sure to bring pure energy (as they always do) and endless bangers. 

Ed Solo & Darrison

Ed Solo and Darrison bring an exclusive Random Acts of Kindness set to Illusive this year, performing bangers from the 2007 album they crafted with Skool of Thought, including this tune ‘Life Gets Better’, ‘We Play the Music’, and ‘When I Was A Yout’. Two veterans joining forces for an exclusive set will always be pure heat. 

Karl Phillips & The Rejects

Get ready for this one. Karl Phillips & The Rejects is a band that blends punk, rap, and ska. Yep, a bit mad, but it works. Always putting loads of energy into their sets, there’s sure to be plenty of people shifting between skanking and moshing during their stint at Illusive. 

Kaya Fyah & Jessi G Shellz 

Once again shining a light on some of the smaller artists on the lineup, Kaya Fyah and Jessi G Shellz will link up for some DnB and jungle. The two have linked up before, smashing a killer set for Jungle Science in March. Jessi will take care of track selection while Kaya will handle vocal duties. If they bring the same energy they brought to Jungle Science, sparks will be flying. 

Illusive Festival is looking to be another heavy bash this year. And as much as it hurts to say goodbye to a brilliant festival, we know this will be a blowout to remember. The best bit? There are more names to be announced!
