Terry Farley, Terry Francis, and David Morales headlining the mainstage.

Breakbeat heavyweights Plump DJs, Freestylers, Krafty Kuts will be coming together and performing as 'King of The Beats', and Rusty Egan from the Blitzkidz era performing and set and speaking on panel as well as KISS FM founder and Mi Soul man Gordon Mac playing a special jazz funk set as well as speaking on a panel.
