LO2 Venues and Artists

Venues

Brooklyn- This is where Hip Hop music originated and became big. I thought it might make the festival better if the festival was held where it all started.

Brooklyn Bridge Park

Harlem- Harlem also had a huge impact on the Hip Hop scene and in this area both basketball and Hip Hop where combined.

Rucker Park

Rucker park is where the ABA basketball all started. Famous basketball players such as Dr.J (Julius Erving) and Wilt Chamberlain came from this court and during this time through the basketball scene the hip hop music genre was making itself popular.

London- Finsbury Park is a very large park in London, this park is host to festivals such as the wireless festival.

If my festival was held here then it could possibly help the future of the Hip Hop genre as it was target a wider audience and the expose from playing at Finsbury Park would help expose the artists music.

Manchester- Heaton Park is a great place to hold a festival as it is a huge open space which allows for more people to attend.

The reason for manchester as a loctaion is that the Grime sub genre of hip hop was hugely popular in manchesters youth.
