What DJ’s Will You Be Dancing To At LIMF 2018?

LIMF is all about music, not just bands or solo artists, but music as a whole. That’s why this year is awash with amazing DJs to keep the tunes coming, and to make sure that there is never a silent moment. Last years DJ tent was one of the best things about the festival, and the tradition continues into LIMF 2018 with this lot of legends.
