Music fans around the UK had a sneak preview of the line-up of Monmouthshire’s newest music festival last Friday at the launch of the Breakin’ Out Festival in Abergavenny.
Breakin’ Out is an urban music festival for young people aged between 11 and 25 and it was launched at the Angel Hotel, Abergavenny.
Held in Abergavenny’s Baily Park on June 16th, the festival headliners include Tinchy Stryder, the Abyss Dance Crew and Charlotte René.
The event is being organised by local woman Sharon Lewis with the support of local community groups and council officers Dan Davies of the Monmouthshire Youth Service and Lisa Knight-Davies of the council One Stop Shops.
Dan Davies said:
“On the main stage there will be a mix of Grime, D&B, Hip Hop, Dubstep and Dance. Stage two will feature local bands and stage three is open mic, so you can showcase your talent!
“This is about working with young people where they are at and we think it’s going to be an event Abergavenny will not forget.
“I’m pretty sure Tinchy Stryder will never have played a gig like it! He’ll be entertaining young people from around the county and have beautiful views of the Blorenge – he’s going to love the Monmouthshire welcome he’ll get.”
Lisa Knight Davies said:
“We’ve got local sixth formers being trained as stewards for the day and we’ll have local talents showing what they can do. This has happened because of the way the community has got behind the event and it’s going to be a fantastic day.”
