Will Smith & DJ Jazzy Jeff Dropped A Brand New Song At MTV Presents Summerblast & It Went OFF
Plus performances from Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Galantis, Tinie Tempah, Oliver Heldens and more made our second Summerblast possibly the best yet...
Last weekend MTV took to the stunning coastal town of Poreč, Croatia, for 2 days of incredible music; MTV Presents Summerblast!
Huge big ups to Lorenzo, DJ Max and Vanillaz who each took to the stage as the sunset over Poreč to open the festival to an excited crowd. Not long after R3WIRE & Varski, who are no strangers to the MTV stage, got the crowd going as always with their unbelievable energy and non-stop bangers.
Later in the night we experienced incredible sets from Jonas Blue, Duke Dumont and Oliver Heldens; who all took it upon themselves to wow the crowd with their DJ magic, not to mention copious fireworks to match!
The lovely Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike flew in to close Day 1, and it was safe to say Poreč was not disappointed by their powerful performance!
Day 2 kicked off with sets from Luca Caro, Jimmy Clash, Avadox and another epic appearance from R3WIRE & Varski before the Far East Movement lads took to the stage. The trio pulled out all the stops and wowed the crowd with what can only be described as an epic light show fueled by Fast East Movement’s undeniable energy and catchy beats.
Next up, the moment we’d all been waiting for, for one night only Poreč was playing host to none-other than Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff. Will Smith thilled the crowd by coming up through the floor to old classic ‘Boom! Shake The Room’ with Jazzy Jeff on the decks, for their first gig in 12 years! It’s safe to say we’ve never seen so much pyro used in one song before!
The fuse is lit an' I'm about to go boom
Mercy, mercy, mercy me
My life is a cage but on stage I'm free
Hyped up, psyched up, ready for wil'in'
Standin' in a crowd of girls like an island
I see the one I wanna sit, come here, cutie
I flip 'em around an' then I work that booty
Work the body, work, work the body
Slow down, girl, you're 'bout to hurt somebody
Oh an' yo, let's get just one thing clear
There's only one reason why I came here

How do I know? Because the crowd went, "Hoo"
In response to the way that I was kickin' it

The the F-f-fresh P-p-prince is who I am
So tell my mother that I never make a whack jam
But some times I get n-n-nervous an' start to stutter
An' I f-f-fumble every word for word I utter
So I just try to ch-ch-chill
But it gets worse a but worse a but, but, but worse still
I need the c-c-crowd to k-k-kick into it
They help me calm down an' I can get through it
So higher, higher, get ya hands to the ceilin'
Let it go, y'all, don't fight the feelin'
Mic in a strangle hold, sweat pourin'
An' like Jordan, yo' I'm scorin'
Yeah, that's right, y'all an' I am in the flow
So pump up the volume along with the tempo
Many have died tryin' to stop my show
I came here tonight to here the crowd go
Boom, shake, shake, shake the room
Boom, shake, shake, shake the room
Boom, shake, shake, shake the room
Tic, tic, tic, tic, boom

Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff proved that they still have what it takes by pulling out ALL the stops; including a huge beatboxing solo, shout outs to Smith’s son Trey (who was spotted in the crowd) during an emotional rendition of ‘Just The Two Of Us’ followed by a very special premiere of brand new track ‘Get Lit’, which is an absolute smash (you heard it here first!).
After performing an epic set to thousands of screaming fans, the crowd was treated to an encore of The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air theme song, while hundreds of fireworks were set off from a boat behind the stage, before Smith disappeared back down through the floor.
If the excitement of Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff wasn’t enough, Summerblast punters were then treated to a EPIC sets from Tinie Tempah, who made his Croatian debut to screaming and Mike Perry before the mighty Galantis closed the show.
We’d like to say a massive thanks to all the artists who performed, everyone involved in organizing, and the people of Poreč for the best MTV Presents Summerblast YET!! And don't worry if you missed all the fun, MTV Will be heading to Gibraltar next weekend for MTV Presents Gibraltar Calling, see you there!
