Saturday 5th July, 12:00 – 22:30
Silverworks Island Dockside Rd, London E16 2BU
Presented by Broadwick Live, Silverworks Island will host a series of new events this summer at East London’s Royal Docks, garnering some of the world’s leading names in electronic music, and the 5th of July marks a truly special one. Michael Bibi debuts his give-back and celebratory event ‘One Life’ at Silverworks Island for a 20k open-air takeover this summer.
Irreverent in the tech-house scene for his sonic efforts across the world, ‘Solid Grooves’ honcho Michael Bibi makes his long-awaited debut to Silverworks Island. After having to sadly miss Solid Grooves Open Air in 2023 due to his cancer diagnosis and initial treatment, Bibi is back. This time, he arrives in his hometown with his newly developed giveback project ‘One Life’ which kicked off last summer with a sold-out 45k takeover in Finsbury Park which featured the likes of Chloé Caillet, Dixon, Enzo Sirugusa, Salomé Le Chat and himself. Not only was this Bibi’s first show ahead of his recovery, but it was also London’s biggest electronic event for summer 2024 raising sums for the Anthony Nolan stem cell research charity.
This year Bibi is teaming up with The Royal Marsden charity where a percentage of all merch and ticket sales will be donated as well as a donation from Michael himself. The event will see a selection of some of the house and techno world’s leading producers and selectors go toe-to-toe for a day-into-night session of unparalleled music and production. To mark this special event a series of butterfly projections have been activated across London.
