NVS Group founder and MD Noah Ball said, “Clubs are a vital part of this city’s vibrant music scene and we wanted to create a festival where music lovers can enjoy music outdoors in the summer sun, while placing equal focus on the city’s treasured club spaces. Project 6 is about community, supporting venues, artists, labels, collectives and bringing people together celebrating the music we love.”
