ANDY C
Andy C is recognised as one of the most significant British artists in global dance music, driven by a phenomenal work ethic and the kind of travel schedule that makes rock bands look like part-timers, as he tours the globe on a constant basis.
His 30 year career has quite simply been nothing short of a phenomenon. An underground icon, he has sold out Wembley Arena in just a few days, and collected over 40 awards, with accolades including DJ Mag's Best British DJ.
He has played to 85,000 people at Glastonbury, and has remixed pretty much everyone including The Prodigy, Plan B, Major Lazer, Eric Prydz, London Grammar and even Tom Walker.
An Andy C set is a wholly unique and unmissable experience - especially on a beach!
