King Beats Festival is this weekend and it's going to be epic!
King Beats is mixing goodwill with good times, and the money from your ticket goes straight to supporting local kids. Get yourself down to Kingston and boogie to the likes of Kora, Electric Rush and the Slacks! This is the family-friendly festival's fifth year, and has non-musical activities on offer too - think yoga, a mini ramp and professional bike jumps. The drive's a beauty, the vibe will be great and your ticket includes overnight camping, too. Check out just some of the amazing lineup below and get your tickets now!
Kora

Tullara

Turtle Funk
A funky four-piece with a tight rhythm section, sexy guitar lines and a jazzy keyboard thrown in for good measure.
Haven
