Headliner for Mersea Island's Secret Island Festival announced
The festival will be held in a secret location only given to ticket holders
The headliner for Mersea Island's Secret Island Festival has been announced today (10 June).
Ultrafunkula has revealed Danny Howard will be making his way to the festival on 24 July.
It is being held in a secret location which will only be given to ticket holders.
Secret Island Festival will reportedly bring a day "filled with quality beats from some of the most exciting and eclectic tastemakers on the planet" - from Manchester and London to Australia, Puerto Rico and beyond – alongside popular local DJs.
There will be two stages as well as art installations, a fairground and more.
Ultrafunkula is made up of local Mersea Island boys Matt Prevett, James Dunn and Ben Wass, who after organising many parties in their youth, returned to their old stomping ground in 2018 to turn up the volume.
They have since organised multiple local events, including two sell-out New Year’s Eve parties and a Latin-themed soiree at the 2019 Mersea Regatta.
Ben Wass, who still lives on Mersea, said:
"After the toughest 18 months any of us can remember, it’s time to dust off your glad rags and come out for a boogie.
"We can’t wait to get Danny behind the decks and hear him set the place off.
"Secret Island Festival won’t just be offering some of the hottest names in UK electronic music, but also incredible art and delicious food as well as picture-postcard views across Mersea Island."
