Join Ifeoluwa and Intervention, as the sun sets on day 2 of Liberty Festival, to a soundtrack of eclectic electronic beats.

INTERVENTION Founder Ifeoluwa will be joined by Wheelman (Glasgow), KESSIE (Leeds), and KIKAZARU (London) for four genre-defying DJ sets. Together they are part of a new generation of U.K. talent, showcasing their diverse sounds, and pushing musical boundaries. With high spirited sounds and raucous energy from across the electronic music spectrum

PLUS: From 3pm, join Ifeoluwa, and a panel of industry professionals, as they discuss the experiences of disabled and marginalised artists in the electronic music industry; and take a look at how neurodivergent and intersectional artists are bringing unique sounds and individuality to club culture.
