“After smashing the stage last year, we are amped to come back and do it all again, Sounds in the Sun is definitely a show we wouldn’t want to miss out on”, says Kidz in Space.

The festival not only offers great entertainment but food vendors, licensed areas, market stalls, interactive zones & free Lipton Ice Tea. Plus a new addition for 2012 will be the VIP VnC Cocktails area shared by The Edge and Snap Star Live.
