Roots Manuva (Live)
If you missed the rave review in The Guardian after the I tunes Festival this month, they lauded Rodney Smith as 'Britain's pre-emminent hip-hop star, a brit-rap Tom Waits,' and praised a live show and presence that's better and bigger than ever before.
In keeping with the sound of his new album, "Slime & Reason," the show will built around a soundsystem feel, focussing more on electronics, dub and crashing beats. The show will be a journey through fistfuls of classic Manuva tracks plus ample material from the new album.
Magnetic Man (Live)
feat Skream, Benga & Artwork
Magnetic Man was a shadowy entity who has been randomly firing out some of the biggest tracks in dubstep for a while, but other than that no-one knew anything about him/them. That was until the tour earlier this year when it was announced that Skream, Benga and Artwork were behind the moniker. We've managed to secure a return date for the show. Not to be missed!
Chase & Status present 'More than a lot'
feat Plan B & Riko (Roll Deep)
The day before the release of their debut lp on Andy C's Ram Records, Chase & Status will take to the Rock City stage accompanied by none other than UK Hip Hop star Plan B and Roll Deep's Riko. Both artists feature on what promises to be a huge album - Radio One are already hammering the Plan B collaboration.
Andy C & MC GQ
This pair don't need any introduction so we won't bother.
Marky & Dynamite
Having asked his agent not to take any bookings on his birthday weekend, Dynamite couldn't resist the opportunity to host a Marky set on the Rock City stage. Believe it or not, it will be Marky's debut at Rock City after a couple of calamitous attempts to get there!
Plastic Little
Plastic Little are responsible, almost solely, for bringing the fun back into Hip Hop. But it's not just the humor that sells Plastic Little, there is a biting critique of society at large and an acerbic wit and intelligence that comes with their brand of party music.

Imperial Leisure
Imperial Leisure are a ten-piece energy ball playing their own particular blend of cutting hip-hop fused with cool old school London ska and beats and bites and riffs and... They come complete with a live brass section, keyboards, DJ, two MCs and a cool as fuck singer. Their sound is a nailed-down combination of hip-hop beats, tunes, street-wise lyrics, punk attitude and just the right amount of infectious soul....
