This year, on September 3 and 4, Meatopia will welcome the first ‘Arab Pit Master’, Hattem Mattar.
Hattem, who is self-taught, runs the renowned Farm House in Dubai, after starting off by smoking meat and fire-cooking in his back garden.
Music will be playing from Daddy G of 90’s collective, Massive Attack, who will DJ the ultimate summer mix of reggae, funk, hip hop and disco.
Freestylers will also take to Meatopia’s decks, as well as Tom Findlay of legendary duo, Groove Armada.
