Live On The Lawn | Mansionair (DJ Set)

Music lovers will be spoiled at this free concert at The Lawn Garden Bar and Kitchen. Mansionair  struck fame when their 2014 ambient-synth-pop hit 'Hold Me Down' hit over a million views in just two months. Soon after, these guys went on to tour with some major players in the industry like Alt-J, Florence and the Machine and CHVRCHES before releasing 'Easier' in 2016, which now boasts over 12 million streams worldwide. Huge. This trio is guaranteed to keep you grooving the night away with their cool tunes and funky vibes, head here to find out more.
