With two number one singles under his belt and collaborations with singers such as Rita Ora, Sigala and Sian Evans, DJ Fresh promises to bring an explosive show to Blackpool’s Tower Festival Headland.

He is also joined on the line-up by upcoming young singer Imani, who features on the Sigala single ‘Say You Do’, which recently peaked at number five on the UK Charts.
