Gates open at 2pm with the concert ending at 7pm, making it a perfect afternoon of music.
Loops will also be performing his brand new track, “Go Again”, which dropped last month.
Featuring his signature blend of soulful lyrics and upbeat melodies, the song is an empowering track about facing life’s challenges head-on.
Loops explained: “‘Go Again’ is my declaration to lean into positivity, to find strength in the storm and to bring the sunshine, even when it’s raining.”
The song, which was co-written and produced with Edd Holloway, marks Loops's second release this year following “Dust Over Dunes” and gives fans a taste of what to expect from his forthcoming album.
