July 2025 will be the 1st Annual Beatnik Day Party we make public. After starting more intimate and private, we have decided to step things up this year and go bigger. Beatnik started as an annual family bbqs held by founders of B1X. These BBQs and picnics had the feel of a good old American cook out with a mixture of foods, battles of the salads, music blasting out the sound system and family/friends catching up sharing laughter.
The vibes are always good so we thought, why not step it up and make the annual event public. We tried a low key version in 2023 which went well and gave us the chance to work out how we want to take this to a wider audience before announcing the new addition to our lineup of events. We are happy that we have got the formula down and ready for you guys to come and experience the fun with us.
If you ain't about good vibrations, positive energy and having fun fun fun, then we don't want you around here. The Beatnik is for the grown up big people that want to let their hair down with a touch of nostalgic vibes. This event is defiantly targeted at the 30-35+ age group up to the 60+ audiences that have also attended our past events. Youngeer audiences are welcome to attened but you have had your pre warning, there will be no music from Sexy Red, Central Cee or anyone with Lil in their name. Y'all have enough events and the big people need something for themselves! HOWWWWWWEVER...... things might switch up for the After Party for those who ain't done at 9pm lol.
Music will be provided by DJs from B1X Radio + a few good friends of the platform that have appeared at previous events. We have had local Steel City heavyweights such as Scarcha Vybz, Manic & Marls to headliners such as Whyte Yardie, Chris Goldfinger & the first to bring Kenny Allstar to Sheffield so anything could happen. DJs will be playing a mixture of RnB, Reggae, Hip Hop, New Jack Swing and Soul for the grown folks with a mature ear for GOOD MUSIC. There will be a couple of surprise guests to do live performances on the day to bring some more good vibes to the event.
As we said, the Beatnik is about food times with family and friends so there will be tables darted around with some traditional Jamaican versions of games such as Ludi (Ludo), Dominos, Cards and other classics sure to spark a few rule debates and humorous roastings that will leave you in stitches if you are observing.
As this is the day picnic, of course food will be available from the food venders selling food on the day. We have made sure a mixture of cuisines are on offer for your taste buds and maybe some food you may not have experienced before. Due to what the event is, we have worked with food providers to create a menu especially for the Beatnik so cheaper meal options or available as well that would not usually be on offer.
More information and content related to The Beatnik will be released closer to the event and when tickets formally go live. This includes guest mixes on the website and radio also for our listeners.
Overall, you just never know who will turn up at a B1x event as we always get a mixture of people from different backgrounds, cultures and professions. What we do know is a B1X event is always a good opportunity to connect with old friends, meet some new people and build up your connections. In the end, its all about coming together and moving the culture forward positively.
