A British DJ has announced he is bringing a special set to Swindon this weekend along with a line-up of other DJs.

He will be joined by DJs including DJ Stavo, DJ Silver, MC Ranks and DJ Young C, with live music covering a range of genres from afrobeats, reggae and R&B from 10pm to 3am.

He also has a YouTube channel with more than one million subscribers where he has interviewed with some of the biggest hip-hop and grime stars in the world, including Eminem, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj and Drake.

In a video announcing the event, Westwood said: “You know how we turn up the party, shut down the club, make the party lit. Well we’re coming to Swindon to The Cow for Eruption Urban Swindon.

 

“It’s all going down this Saturday, the 31st of August, with Westwood DJs Silver UK and DJ Stavo.

“It’s going to be super turnt and super lit so make sure you pull up to the party. Let’s get it.”

The venue will be offering VIP packages from £350, which are bookable in advance and include VIP entry for three people and £250 worth of drinks, or ten guests can get VIP entry and £550 worth of drinks for £650.
