Stereo MCs / EMF – live at The Big Top, Waterford Winterval Festival 14.12.2024

It was full on party time at The Big Top Live with the hip hop and electronic dance crew from south west London The Stereo MCs, Man it was a trip back in time to when we all got Connected and lost ourselves in the hazy days of the dance scene.
The band brought all their hits and more to the stage as Rob Birch and the gang got Deep Down and Dirty as the crowd stepped up to every beat.

Opening the night were those forest boys and dirty ravers EMF who are clearly loving being back on the stage and it was clear to see these guys have lost none of the party raving that they were well know for in the 90s. Having seen the band many time back then it was a joy to see how much fun is still left in the band.
So all I can say to end is get out their you Ecstasy Motherfucker’s
