The online event occurs on Saturday, July 11th, between 18:00 CEST – 01:00 CEST and will be followed by a panel discussion on Sunday, July 12th, at 19:00 CEST.
Join Beatport Live and London’s Junction 2 Festival this Saturday and Sunday for a one-off online event featuring some of the world’s best talent! A highlight of the UK festival season, Junction 2 is going full steam ahead this year with a virtual revamp that surely won’t disappoint.
The virtual event will be taking place across six hours, and four stages for a fully-functional “online festival site,” which the J2 team promises will capture the same “mind-bending visuals and an inclusive atmosphere” the Boston Manor Park event is known for.
All four stages will be broadcast live on Beatportal’s homepage, as well as on Beatport, meaning you can identify and purchase tracks in real-time via Beatport’s live track identification system. The stream will also be hosted on Beatport’s Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook pages.
In addition to prize giveaways and merchandise, J2v will also be using this unprecedented online gathering to raise much-needed funds for the charities Black Lives Matter, Care Workers Charity, Refuge, The Outside Project, and Trussell Trust foodbanks. Learn how to donate by going here.
RSVP for the event on Facebook here.
