Party alfresco to a soundtrack celebrating 50 years of HipHop and its place in British club culture. DJs will be taking over the Southbank Centre’s Riverside Terrace for a party where each set tracks the development of the genre, taking listeners from its 70s funk and soul foundations through to the explosion of house and then the power of jungle, garage and grime. Guided by a host who threads the story together live on stage, it’s an afternoon of music and memories.
