Heard It Here First

When Zeds Dead announced that they would be gracing the legendary Hampton Coliseum in Virginia Beach a few weeks back, we were ecstatic. Today, somehow, we are even more excited, as the lineup for First Contact is already here! The iconic Toronto duo, set to perform unique sets each night, are about to be joined by some of the hottest names in dubstep for their first-ever mothership headline.

Friday, April 13th will have dubstep legends Skream and Rusko, alongside HIHF favorites Sippy and Smoakland going b2b, and dubious deep dubstep maestro Distinct Motive.

April 14th has Jade Cicada as direct support for the boys. The fan-favorite producer is finally returning to the masses, after announcing a NYE run in NY and a headlining slot at Suwannee’s Rendezvous festival.

On Saturday, Zeds Dead and Jade will be joined by Cool Customer, an enigmatic artist the whole underground bass world has had their eyes on. Already with direct support experience for Ganja White Night and releases on Deadbeats and Subtronics’ Cylcops Recordings, he’s a fantastic fit to play ahead of Jade Cicada and Zeds Dead.

Floret Loret and Curra are sure to start this absurd night off right. Both artists are absolutely cracked in their own right, it’s no surprise they got the nod to open up this enormous night of bass music.

You can grab tickets here for the two-night First Contact run at Hampton Coliseum here, they go live this Thursday at 10am ET: TICKETS
