The gates are open and the sun is out. Forbidden Fruit 2016 is a go and Hot Press is excited to release the lineup for this year's Speakeasy Tent.
Last year’s Hot Press Speakeasy was one of the most eventful so far. Not to be encouraging this kind of behaviour, but one of the highlights was Fat Boy Slim himself, Norman Cook, donating his own wedding ring to one misty eyed romantic who had decided that our time with the funk–soul–brother was the perfect opportunity to pop the question to his unsuspecting girlfriend.
This year The Hot Press Speakeasy is back again with more public interviews, Q+As, sessions and maybe a spot of free styling! Where else would you have the chance to get up close – and quite possibly personal – with some of your Forbidden Fruit favourites?
And, we definitely have a fine selection of festival favourites scheduled to stop by!
Tonight will see UK dance legends Leftfield drop in for a chat, while on Saturday main–stagers Jungle will be over ahead of their set, and on Sunday we will be welcoming the mighty Groove Armada ahead of a busy night at both the festival and the Forbidden Fruit Nights after party in the Button Factory.
