    Festival season will see us raving and misbehaving with these hot female DJs.

    Annie Mac - Reading & Leeds and Love Saves the Day

    Annie Mac is undisputedly the empress of the turn tables. Her Radio 1 show has been launching the weekends of clubbers since 2009, and her impressive on-air music choices have made her legendary on the decks. Annie always attracts the crowds, bringing the most established DJs and tracks with her as part of ‘Annie Mac Presents’. Her sets at Reading and Leeds Festivals and Love Saves the Day will be no exceptions as she prepares to launch the summer with a massive bang.

    Nina Kraviz - Love Saves the Day and High Definition

    One of the most exciting figures in dance music at the moment, Nina Kraviz brings her technicality and experimental style to two of the summer’s best electronic music festivals. Those lucky enough to catch her sets at High Definition and Love Saves the Day can expect a true artist who sings, produces and DJs and knows how to guide the crowd through an electric set!

    At only 22 years old, Monki is already presenter of Radio 1’s "In New DJs We Trust", head of ZOO Music label, and experiencing a meteoric rise in her DJ career.
