A stone's throw from where Dizzee Rascal grew up in Bow, the previously secret venue is today revealed as world class sporting venue, cum live gigs space, the Copper Box Arena. Located at the heart of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in East London, this event will undoubtedly see the venue keep true to its London 2012 reputation as "the box that rocked".

With appearances from some of grimes key bastions such as; DJ Semtex, Logan Sama, I-D’s Hattie Collins, Scrufizzer and Beats 1’s Julie Adenuga, it's an anthology not to be missed.
