The Tribe Soundsystem and In the Moment radio founders Mike Gurrieri and Zepherin Saint will curate a unique stage line-up starting from 10am each day.
The morning programming is designed as a meet-up and chill space featuring ambient and soundscape selections chosen by ITM’s most loved selectors.
Surrounded by artisan makers and stalls, The Bazaar becomes a village within a village, a community space built around Tribe Soundsystem's state of the art four-point system.
It is designed to give listeners a truly immersive sound experience for both listening and dancing.
In its early hours, ITM's Bazaar stage will host artist interviews and Q&A sessions, building the energy into the dance floor as sunset approaches.
