Next on the bill and off the back of a phenomenal year, Billy Gillies will be riding high onto the Main Stage to deliver an electrifying set for all dance music fans. Newcastle’s home-grown superstar Schak makes his long over-due LM debut followed by crowd favourites Symmetrik and Kimmic, who will be showcasing their distinctive styles to complete the Main Stage team sheet.
