The Rhumba Club has been at the forefront of Scotland’s underground dance scene for approaching 25 years, bringing the biggest names to the east coast. There is a huge buzz locally, as well as from further afield, about staging an electronic music festival of this stature, especially as we get set to celebrate the club’s 25th Anniversary in 2016. We can’t wait!"
