Founder of the prestigious Futureboogie night and label, Dave and the infamous Futureboogie crew have set the benchmark for excellence as they enjoy their 10th Birthday this year!

A dedicated adherent to Bristol’s underground music circuit, Tom Paine brings his energies to the fold as a programmer. From starting his trade managing Arc Bar, a 400 capacity late night venue, Tom has overseen the running many of the coolest establishments in the city. He has also spent the last 4 years at Motion Ramp Park making the Top 100 on ‘The Best Venue In World Poll by DJ Magazine in 2011.

Known as a master of management in his field, Rag Satguru is the promoting force behind the event. Having found his wings in the short space of six years, Rag embodies real inside knowledge, by often running 74 nights in a 10-week period, across multiple venues. Rag has also run events in partnership with major festival teams like Field Day, Bloc Weekender and Bugged Out! He is an indispensible addition to the team!

Featuring local caters, exhibitors and art installations, Love Saves The Day celebrates all that is inspirational about this iconic city. The Dance Off Crew bring colour, fun and some serious dance moves to Love Saves The Day. Having been crowned the ‘most lively and fun stage’ at The Secret Garden Party, this collective of enthusiastic shape cutters will be brining the atmosphere to fever pitch. Certainly a sight to behold, expect carnival-esque dance sequences with a couple cream pies thrown in for good measure!

Combing local knowledge and local passion, Team Love will announce further artists over the forthcoming weeks and will throw the mother of all parties in Bristol in June. Thanks to the Queen you can kick back and relax and let some of the world’s most pioneering artists take you on a sonic journey. Further acts and information to be announced shortly.
