CHRIS BROWN TO TAKEOVER THE BEACH AT FRESH ISLAND 2016
ANNOUNCED: Big Narstie also onboard to perform the beach festival’s 5th anniversary along with the return of grime karaoke with Julie Adenuga and Sian Anderson

Chris Brown will perform in Croatia this summer for the first time as the newly confirmed headliner for Fresh Island 2016. For the first time ever a headliner will takeover the whole of Zrce beach on a specially built stage in one of the biggest shows the beach has ever seen. Big Narstie returns to the festival to perform and will also MC poolside with Sian Anderson and Julie Adenuga for the return of Noisey’s grime karaoke. Taking over Zrce Beach, 12th – 14th July, Fresh Island welcomes some of the best names in hip-hop, grime and r&b including Wiz Khalifa, Ty Dolla $ign, Kehlani, Chip, DJ Premier, Tim Westwood and more for the ultimate urban music escape this summer.

One of the biggest names in r&b, Chris Brown needs little introduction. Skyrocketing to success after his debut single Run It hit the top of the Billboard chart back in 2005, Chris Brown has since released seven studio albums, five of those platinum, along with a multitude of singles and major collaborations. For the first time a huge stage will be built on the beach for thousands of fans to watch the Grammy winner perform right next to the water on the final night. A renowned live tour-de-force and with no performances planned for the UK for the next year, Brown’s Fresh Island debut will be one of the musical highlights of the summer.Following the success of last year, VICE’s Noisey return to the shores of Croatia to host another Adriatic edition of their famed Grime Karaoke series. Last year saw Stormzy, Big Narstie and hundreds of revellers spit bars in the sun for the ultimate grime pool party. Following Big Narstie’sspiritual awakening on the beach in 2015, the BDL MC returns to bring the bass along with Radio 1Xtra’s Sian Anderson delivering the beats, while Beat 1 DJ Julie Adenuga is onboard to host the madness.

The Game

Platinum-selling rapper The Game will jet to Zrce Beach in Croatia this July along with Tottenham MC Chip and r&b singer Kelhani for Fresh Island 2016. A myriad of talent from Canada and Europe have also been added and will join the festival for its 5th edition. Set against the beautiful backdrop of the Adriatic coast, Fresh Island invites thousands of revellers to party on the beach this summer with some of the best names in hip-hop, grime and r&b including Wiz Khalifa, Ty Dolla $ign, DJ Premier, Logan Sama, Shakka and more. Tickets are incredible value for money from just £75 for three days, VIP options also available via the Fresh Island website.


Over the years Fresh Island has welcomed some of the biggest international hip-hop acts to perform the intimate beach-side setting of Zrce Beach including Snoop Dogg, Nas, Method Man & Redman, Rick Ross, A$AP Rocky, Iggy Azalea, Mobb Deep, KRS-One and more. Never one to rest on its laurels, this year the festival invites hip-hop giant The Game to headline 2016.

The West Coast rapper has become one of the most recognised names in hip-hop following the release of the seminal debut album The Documentary, which sold over 5 million copies worldwide and has worked with the best in business including Dr Dre, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Ice Cube, Future and more. With plenty of new material under his belt thanks to his critically acclaimed fourth album The Documentary 2, The Game’s performance at Fresh Island will be unmissable.

Flying the flag for the UK amongst the latest additions for Fresh Island is Chip. The 25-year-old, formerly known as Chipmunk, won his first MOBO at just 17, soared to international success and has since returned to his roots to become one of grime’s most revered MCs. Expect to be reminded why when he takes to the Fresh stage this July.  Also newly confirmed for this year’s festival is r&b visionary Kelhani. At just 20, the Grammy-nominated singer is one of the genre’s most exciting new talents and will deliver the perfect soundtrack as revellers party poolside on the beach at Fresh Island 2016.

Supporting hip-hop talent from all over the world, this year Fresh Island presents a Canadian showcase with rappers Illvibe and D.O Gibson, who’s best known for holding the record for the longest freestyle rap of an incredible 8 hours and 45 minutes. The festival also welcomes Demir Cesar & Kidcut from Germany, Italy’s DJ Phox, DJ Pfund 500 from Switzerland, Slovenia’s Sladica and Kyu St33d and Supa! of French DJ crew Yard.

Returning for its fifth anniversary in 2016, Fresh Island takes over Aquarius, Kalypso and Papaya on Zrce beach and is the only beach festival in Europe where you’ll see DJs, MCs, boat parties, pool parties and more representing the absolute best in hip-hop, r&b and grime.
