He’ll also be joined on the night by special guests Digital Farm Animals and Grammy-nominated music artist and producer S-X!

Wes Nelson, who smashed onto the scene in 2020 with his Top 3 hit ‘See Nobody’, also joins the line-up today with more acts to be announced in the coming weeks and our very own Becca Dudley will be hosting the event which will be watched at the venue by a live audience made up of winners of a free-to-enter ballot.
