One of Rolling Stone Magazine’s ‘Top 25 DJs that rule the Earth’, DJ Harvey was a leader of garage and house music in the UK and has been touring the world at his own pace ever since. Winner of the Outstanding Contribution Award from the DJ Awards in Ibiza in 2014, his influence on the electronic music industry is profound. With a love of old disco and a cult following, a chance to see him at Contact in Tokyo should not be missed. Unlike some gigs in Tokyo that are over byy 9pm, this one starts late and runs until the early morning, so prepare for an all-nighter and check first trains.
To prevent the spread of COVID-19, many events have been canceled. Always check official sites before heading to an event.DJ Harvey
