Veteran DJ David Rodigan will be at his desk in Croydon next month

INSIDE CROYDON is delighted to be able to offer a pair of tickets to the high-demand HotBox launch party, featuring the legend of the turntables, David Rodigan.

Being staged at Boxpark on April 28, the event is billed as the first in a series of music events to be held at the venue next to East Croydon Station over the summer.

Tickets are on sale now, costing £15 each (though nearer the date, the price may rise).

But supporters of Inside Croydon can get a pair of tickets for this great event free-of-charge in our prize draw.

David Rodigan is the revered DJ and radio broadcaster who cut his teeth hosting radio shows on Radio London and Capital 95.8 before becoming a household name with shows on both Kiss and BBC Radio 1Xtra.

A festival favourite and sound clash champion, his unwavering dedication to reggae and unparalleled knowledge of the culture is why he’s the one of Britain’s most cherished musical exports.

Rodigan headlines a seven-hour music fest that also includes P Money, President T, Grandmixxer and a host of others.
