Famed for championing the wonder years of UK garage, house and more, the nationwide success story of Sun City continues to gather momentum as it launches into the sunnier months.

Started in 1996, the Sun City brand has provided some of the biggest promotions in Europe for house, r&b, hip hop and garage, attracting a large following of passionate party people out to relive the glory days.

Things kick off on March 14th, with Sun City unleashing their indoor music festival at The Institute in Birmginham. Red Bull Culture Clash runners up Boy Better Know (above) hit the main stage along with Radio 1 Xtra anchor Charlie Sloth (check out 'Look Like' below).
