Inaugural SXMusic Festival with Jamie Jones, Blond:ish and Francesca Lombardo

March 2016 brings us a brand new boutique festival, located on the Caribbean island of Saint Martin. And the first wave of artists announced suggest it could definitely be worth the trip, with Jamie Jones, Dubfire, Adriatique, DJ Tennis and more.

If further artists like Francesca Lombardo (pictured), Patrick Topping and Lee Burridge aren't enough to get you on a flight, the dual French / Dutch territory looks like quite the location with white sandy beaches, clear blue seas and a strong European flavour.

The almost week-long event will have parties at multiple locations around the island, including a tropical forest, beach bars and maybe most excitingly underneath the SXM airport's famous flight path – where planes will thunder into land just metres above party goers' heads.

SXMusic Festival makes its debut on March 9 -13, and you can grab your early-bird tickets here for a discounted price. More info and list of first-wave artists here.
