Show­cas­ing some of the scene’s most icon­ic fig­ures, Met­ro­fest is London’s first ever fest­iv­al ded­ic­ated to R&B and Hip Hop cul­ture, and is set to debut at Trent Park on Sunday 8th August 2021

Hos­ted by Cap­it­al Xtra Reloaded, Met­ro­fest’s Main Stage lineup reads like an R&B hall of fame, with legendary rap­per Fat Joe top­ping the bill. Respons­ible for icon­ic tracks like ‘What’s Luv’ ft. Ashanti and Ja Rule, and col­lab­or­a­tions with the likes of Jen­nifer Lopez, Eminem, Lil’ Wayne and Nelly. His head­line set at Met­ro­fest will be his UK fest­iv­al debut and the only chance to see him per­form in the coun­try this sum­mer.

Fat Joe is joined by an era-defin­ing selec­tion of live per­formers, that shaped the face of 90s R&B and Hip Hop as Black­street (No Dig­gity), Mya (Ghetto Super­star) and Eve (Love Is Blind) bring the best of the USA to sunny Trent Park for an unfor­get­table cel­eb­ra­tion.

Bring­ing smooth and soul­ful grooves to the pro­gramme, R&B heavy­weight Jon B’s live per­form­ance will include mater­i­al from his icon­ic albums ‘Cool Relax’ and ‘Pleas­ures U Like’. With three no.1 stu­dio albums under his belt and smash-hit single ‘Anonym­ous’, Bobby V also prom­ises some­thing spe­cial for his set whilst Wayne Mar­shall, Hor­ace Brown and Terri Walk­er add their hit anthems to the sum­mer soundtrack.

Com­ple­ment­ing the pleth­ora of main stage live per­form­ances, DJ sets will come from vet­er­an spin­ner, Col­lin Fran­cis, Mike Pan­teli and Fir­in Squad, as legendary mic man Fat­man Scoop steps up as stage host, keep­ing the good times rolling all day long.

Tony Touch takes top billing at the Flava Of The Month stage. As one of the genre’s most prom­in­ent DJs, Tony is renowned for his impec­cable selec­tion and abil­ity to deliv­er unfor­get­table dance­floor moments. Also on the lineup, Brit­ish hip-hop mav­er­ick Skinny­Man will per­form tracks from his time­less clas­sic ‘Coun­cil Estate of Mind’, whilst Funky DL will also per­form live. The pro­gramme would­n’t be com­plete without South Lon­don legend DJ 279, DJ Biznizz, Uncle Ju Ju and the unbeat­able energy of free­styler extraordin­aire, Mys­tro aka Mys­Diggi, plus Hip Hop Karaōke will be invit­ing fest­iv­al-goers to join the per­form­ance.

For high-octane ses­sions and jump-up sounds, head to the Jungle Mania arena where Grooverider, Brock­ie, DJ Rap, Kenny Ken, Nicky Black­mar­ket, Jump­in Jack Frost, Inter and Twister will be joined by MCs Skibadee, Det, Ragga Twins, Fear­less and Nav­ig­at­or

Away from the dance­floors, Metrofest’s Com­edy Shack unites some of the UK’s finest stand-ups with Richard Black­wood, Nab­il, Dizzle, Kat, Tha­nyia Moore, Kev­in J, Jeff Inno­cent and more con­firmed.

With two spe­cial guest head­liners still to be announced, DLT will show­case fresh sounds from rising R&B and Afrobeat artists AAA, RBC, But­tery Hot­ness and Tiny Man whilst East Lon­don party-starters, Rain­drop, host a stage of high vibes, with sets from DJ Jukess, Shaq Five, DJ Day Day, Max Den­ham, Skaps and more.

Com­plet­ing the lineup, Love Story takes con­trol in the VIP arena with UKG from DJ Char­lesy, Mas­ter­stepz, O’Neil McDowall, Joe Lobel and a spe­cial guest still to be announced.

With so much on offer, Metrofest’s debut prom­ises an unfor­get­table fun-fuelled day, with a hefty por­tion of nos­tal­gia and plenty of good-time vibes.
