A dose of live music to finish...
Pack your boogie pants because at the end of each session, Titus Funk is storming the Main Stage with high-energy soul, reggae and pop crowd-pleasers.
Led by DJ and performer extraordinaire Josh Leys, this stacked band brings Andy Keys on (you guessed it) keys, reggae artist Mal Lakatani on guitar and Matt Samuels smashing the drums.
High vibes, cold wine, and legendary tunes, don’t even think about leaving early!
