SMK Live’s inaugural festival just got even bigger with the announcement of The B Stage - a second stage located by the Food Village that will host DJs throughout the weekend. Saturday will see party facilitators SoulGood take over with DJ sets from Welsh talents Paul Lyons, The Tribe of ViBE and Luna Amani. Sunday sees DJ, producer and TV personality Marcel Somerville take to the decks alongside DJ Twist and Kaptin & Dregz.Â
These DJs join a growing lineup, with the Main Stage set to showcase Basement Jaxx and Black Eyed Peas (UK Festival Exclusive), alongside Jason Derulo, Cat Burns, Clean Bandit, Groove Armada, Jalen Ngonda, Katy B, Jax Jones, Moonchild Sanelly, Maverick Sabre, Jaguar Skills and Big Narstie. In addition to this, Bimini and Big Narstie bring their unwavering charisma and charm to the stages to host the festivities.Â
Housed inside Stadium MK’s stunning 30,000 seater stadium, the festival – the first of its kind in the stadium’s history - will offer music fans a jam-packed day to night schedule of high-octane performances, bringing some of the most memorable hits spanning the last two decades to the heart of Milton Keynes.Â
Whilst taking place in a stadium, SMK Live is not just a sit down show. It is a full festival, with street-food villages, activation zones, live DJs and singers, and two stages packed with amazing artists. Everything you could want out of a festival, including top-tier production, open spaces to explore, hospitality offerings and a crowd that’s there for the full weekend experience.
The festival is additionally set to host one of the biggest England vs Panama World Cup screenings in the country, with the game shown live on giant stadium and main stage screens inside Stadium MK on the 27th, transforming the 30,000 seater venue into a one night football and music extravaganza. If multiple stages and world-class artist performances weren’t enough, the experience will also feature a special halftime show from a surprise guest, bringing a true stadium atmosphere to an already unmissable day. Viewing the game in the stadium will be available for ticket holders only - no separate tickets will be issued for game-viewing alone.
