Sonny adds, “So hyped to be back on the terrace at Amnesia. So many amazing memories at this club. Mondays are going to be next level! I can’t wait!”

No Tomorrow Festival Review 2015

by

Following a successful first year, No Tomorrow festival returned to Nottingham for a two-day spectacle, showcasing some of the biggest names in EDM and other chart-topping artists such as John Newman and Jessie Ware.

Not your typical large-scale music festival with tens of thousands of party-goers, No Tomorrow was comparatively much smaller; but this made the experience thoroughly more enjoyable.

With the usually unreliable British weather holding up throughout the course of the weekend, punters were able to lie on the grass and soak up the rays whilst listening to their favourite artists. Three well-staffed bars also ensured revellers did not wait long for drinks in the summer heat.

Dominating the park was the main stage which featured a brightly coloured ‘No Tomorrow’ banner with the Stealth stage occupying a gigantic tent in a sub-section of the park.

Stealth was not to be out done by its larger counterpart. A set list consisting of Garage and House well-known names such as DJ EZ, Hannah Wants and Gorgon City arguably made it the highlight of the festival.

Saturday's bill did not disappoint, Hannah Wants well and truly got the proceedings of the weekend underway and set the tone for what was to come with her one and a half hour set.

Fans packed the Stealth stage for DJ EZ and despite technical sound issues he still managed to get the crowd buzzing with a trademark mix of old school Garage anthems, rounding off what was a hugely successful first day.

Sunday built on the success of the previous day, with performances from Justin Martin on Stealth stage and Milky Chance on the main stage meaning that wherever you were there was music worth listening to.

Milky Chance’s hit ‘Stolen Dance’ was met with a great reception as fans joined in singing along with the feel good music. Whilst over on Stealth stage, Gorgon City followed Justin Martin and carried on the upbeat vibe with some well-known House tunes as the sun slowly slipped behind the clouds.

Perhaps the most notable performance of the entire weekend was My Nu Leng who closed the Stealth stage with a combination of Deep House, Grime and Rap beats working to get the crowd hyped, and ending the festival in style.

Leaving the festival to John Newman’s popular anthem ‘Love Me Again’ echoing from the main stage, party-goers were able to travel back to the city centre from the gates of Woollaton Park for £2 thanks to festival organisers.

Overall a perfect way to start the summer, a well-balanced mixture of intense and laid-back music combining to create a memorable weekend, definitely a festival SFG would recommend for the future.

An Ibiza live exclusive from 2015 festival favouritesGorgon City awaits whilst understated drum and bass duo turned bonafide chart superstars Sigma return and the undisputed Queen of bassline Hannah Wants will play two shows and bring W.A.R! to the ultimate climax at the Closing party on 18th September.

Exclusive shows will also come courtesy of Boy Better Know, David Rodigan MBE, Rinse FM and Thump.  Foundation grime crew Boy Better Know, fronted by brothers Skepta & JME and favourited by Kanye West who handpicked them to perform with him at The BRITs will be supported by veteran grime/dubstep producer & DJPlastician in June.
 
It will be a seminal moment as the legendary David Rodigan MBE takes to the stage for the first time ever in Ibiza to present ‘Ram Jam’, with support from SHY FX, Toddla T and Ms Dynamite in September. David Rodigan MBE said: “Very excited to be bringing Ram Jam to the Island for the very first time with my good pals Shy FX & Toddla T in tow! Sunshine and reggae, the killer combination!” 
 
For the third year running, the incredible and influential crew at Rinse FM takeover W.A.R! for a  standout show featuring grime’s ultimate pioneer Skepta, genre-crushing DJ and tastemaker Oneman, BBC Sound of 2015 nominee Novelist and Black Butter Records’ hot property Sinead Harnett.
 
From new friends to old friends, W.A.R! will welcome back BBC 1Xtra’s Mista Jam and Redlight plus Example & DJ Wire with their special ’10 Years of Ibiza’ set.  Pioneering garage selector DJ EZ heads up an enviable bill as part of the Thump takeover in June and will be joined on the line up by a selection of the best of the new breed including  bassline hit-maker Chris Lorenzo – responsible for co-producing Hannah Wants’ top 10 single ‘Rhymes’ – as well as garage-grime starlet Preditah and younger brother C4. Other hot new sets will come courtesy of breakthrough MC Stormzy plus Mella Dee, My Nu Leng and Fono who boasts a mini residency this year with four shows.   A thoroughly impressive line up that’s testament to the fluid mix of styles and sounds that W.A.R! will represent in 2015.
