4. Jamaican Independence Day: David Rodigan and Rebel Clash at Shoreditch House
In honour of Jamaican Independence Day, we welcome David Rodigan and Rebel Clash to the rooftop at Shoreditch House. Rodigan is regarded by many as one of the world’s best broadcasters, DJ and champions of reggae music ever. And during his 40 years in the business, he’s broken boundaries and won hearts across the globe. Supporting act Rebel Clash is a DJ and Rinse FM resident who is known for platforming sound system culture and foundational reggae and dub.
Their performances are followed by a screening of The Harder They Come, to celebrate the film’s 50th anniversary.
