Craig David to bring huge TS5 Festival to iconic venue

“Craig David all over your…” You can practically hear the rest of that right?

Well, depending on how long ago you were born you can anyway, I guess.

But you’d be able to hear it live next week if you go to the music star’s huge festival in London.

Craig David and his TS5 party brand are taking over the iconic DRUMSHEDS for TS5 Festival next Saturday (23 March).

Yeah, that’s the big old IKEA in Tottenham that’s been converted from the UK flagship store to a 15,000-capacity super club.

“To be here at such an iconic venue like Drumsheds, it’s a venue that every DJ and every artist wants to perform in. So to be here I’m super honoured to be honest,” David said.

He’ll of course be headlining the special event so fans can hope to hear the likes of ‘When the Bassline Drops’ and ‘Abracadabra’.

The ‘7 days’ singer will be joined by a number of names from UK garage, house, hip hop and R&B for a multi room showcase that ‘reflects his musical identity’.

Among those artists are the likes of Jax Jones, Ella Henderson Wes Nelson, Piri & Tommy and 24hr Garage Girls in the club’s X Room.

With the event running from midday to 10:30pm, the already-legendary X Room will host a Carnival Takeover from Radio 1’s Jeremiah Asiamah.

Nodding to David’s iconic summer residency, the Y Room will be hosted by Ibiza rocks.

There’ll be sets in there from the likes of Nathan Dawe, Switch Disco, Patrick Nazemi, Emily Nash and Charlotte Van de Peer.

And then over in the Z Room, if hip hop and R&B is more your vibe, there’ll be performances from Radio 1Xtra’s DJ Semtex, DJ Ace and DJ Charlesy.

The ‘Fill Me In’ singer started off TS5 as an exclusive party at his Miami penthouse and has grown over the years since as his sound has evolved.

Not only does David take it to Ibiza, but he’s done it at all kinds of events, from summer festivals to Bongo’s Bingo.

And this event at DRUMSHEDS will be the first ever TS5 Festival.

Tickets start from £27.50, with early entry and Drumsheds Plus tickets offering fast-track entry as well as a platform in The X Room plus a VIP area.

Craig David presents TS5 Festival takes place next Saturday, 23 March, from 12-22:30 at Drumsheds, London N18 3HF. The event is 18+ and last entry is at 5pm.
