SUB FOCUS has been flying the D&B flag for over a decade, smashing out arena tours and main stage festival sets across the globe. His first breakout hit “Tidal Wave” sent Drum and Bass music into the mainstream and helped pave the way for many. Sub Focus is currently touring off the release of his third full-length solo album - “Evolve”. Combining with his good friend and frequent collaborator Mark Wilkinson, expect an electric end to the Golden Lights festival from two of the best in the business. Big bass and trap breakouts ISOXO and KNOCK2 are also confirmed for their New Zealand debut performances.

Local leading bass producer EMWA will also be performing on the main stage at Golden Lights to round off the massive Golden Lights lineup.
