Novelist, Skream and More Announced for the Rinse Birthday Weekender at Notting Hill Carnival

The first wave of names includes Ms Dynamite, Meridian Dan, David Zowie, J Cush and the rest.

You guys know Notting Hill carnival, right? Of course you do. It's the street-party that takes over West London for one bank holiday weekend each August and ram-packs the district with turnt-up carnival jamz blaring from sound systems, mountains of food and smoke, fountains of Red Stripe and Rum'n'Red Bulls, and a whole lot of good times. If you need reminding, here's our gallery of last year's shenanigans.

Each year there's a load of street parties, and it can be a mission to decide which one to attend. Luckily we've got a top-tip for you. After last year's roadblock event (catch some footage here), Rough But Sweet Soundsystem have invited Rinse FM to toast their birthday weekend with some close friends and family. What that means is, across two days, you'll be able to catch the likes of Novelist, DJ Oneman, Ms Dynamite, Flo Dan, Skream, and a whole host more for free. Catch some footage of last summer's shutdown here.

First line up below with many more to be announced:
