Detonate's first All dayer takes place on Sunday 12th October accross Rock City and Rescue Rooms. Roots Manuva's live show headlines an all star bill set to start the new academic year in style....

Roots Manuva (Live)
If you missed the rave review in The Guardian after the I tunes Festival this month, they lauded Rodney Smith as 'Britain's pre-emminent hip-hop star, a brit-rap Tom Waits,' and praised a live show and presence that's better and bigger than ever before.
In keeping with the sound of his new album, "Slime & Reason," the show will built around a soundsystem feel, focussing more on electronics, dub and crashing beats. The show will be a journey through fistfuls of classic Manuva tracks plus ample material from the new album.

Magnetic Man (Live)
feat Skream, Benga & Artwork
Magnetic Man was a shadowy entity who has been randomly firing out some of the biggest tracks in dubstep for a while, but other than that no-one knew anything about him/them. That was until the tour earlier this year when it was announced that Skream, Benga and Artwork were behind  the moniker. We've managed to secure a return date for the live show which crams together enormous tunes like 'Midnight request line' Benga's 'Night' and '26 basslines', partners them with a great visual display and tears the roof off venues everywhere. Not to be missed!

Chase & Status present 'More than a lot'
feat Plan B & Riko (Roll Deep)
The day before the release of their debut lp on Andy C's Ram Records, Chase & Status will take to the Rock City stage accompanied by none other than UK Hip Hop star Plan B and Roll Deep's Riko. Both artists feature on what promises to be a huge album - Radio One are already hammering the Plan B collaboration.

Like an episode of Neighbours, we going to leave you on a cliff hanger and not announce the rest just yet. More soon. Tickets are already flying out for this event, so don't leave it too late.
