The opening party, which will take place on Thursday, September 5, will be supported by a performance by DJ/producers duo Utah Saints. Jez and Tim have been playing shows since the birth of house music, and will take attendees on a journey showcasing their samples, remixes, and tunes across all genres.

Acts will include both established bands and up-and-coming acts, with there likely to be something for everyone.
