Born & Bred Team Up With Rinse And Expand To Two Day Festival

2015's inaugural Born & Bred festival – the first UK event to base itself entirely around the London street sounds of grime, garage, dubstep and drum n bass – was a resounding success. As such, it's little surprise the event is returning for 2016, this time with an added day and a new partner in the form of Rinse FM. The Rinse team up makes perfect sense, with the former pirate radio station's remit easily dovetailing with the Born N Bred ethos. As with last year, the event will take place in the heart of East London, in Haggerston Park, Shoreditch, on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th June 2016.
Headliners anounced so far include local grime heroes Newham Generals (aka D Double E and Footsie), revitalised dubstep pioneer Benga, and Atlanta trap star iLOVEMAKONNEN – here's the line up as it currently stands:
