See No Evil launches Hear No Evil 2012

See No Evil, the ambitious urban art project that will take over Bristol’s Nelson Street in August has announced a diverse music line up of the best DJ’s, promoters and undiscovered artists.

Block Party – 18th August 2012, Nelson Street

Team Love, the event’s producers have lined up a phenomenal set of acts for this year’s Block Party, extending the site to include three new stages. The music selection will include everything from hip hop, soul and funk to house, disco and reggae – all for FREE while the world’s best street artists put the finishing touches to their creations on Nelson Street.

The stage on Fairfax Street, opens with a disco extravaganza from Crazy P Soundsystem, The Boogie Cartel, Brassroots and Jus Now. It wouldn’t be a line up without Bristol’s DJ Derek, playing his own brand of reggae and funk. Other stages include ‘Speak No Evil’, ‘Hear No Evil’, ‘Dub No Evil’, Shambarber and the Love Truck.

Local heroes Weapon of Choice will host live graff battles, while Shambarber’s own stage will feature all sorts of exciting new additions for tache and quiffs. BooDior and Glittermasque will be servicing all visitors dressing up needs, and no Block Party would be complete without its own B-Boy convention.

The Block Party will take place between 12pm – 9pm on Saturday 18th.
