There's An Instagram Lock In With Kurupt FM Tonight

To all those staying in on your Friday night, so that'd be everyone, you're in for a treat as there's set to be an Instagram lock in with Kurupt FM.

From 10-11pm you can tune into see DJ Steves leading the way on his decks for a Friday night party we can all enjoy from home on the Kurupt FM Instagram story.

If you haven't heard of Kurupt FM, where have you been? It is a pirate radio station hosted by MC Grindah, DJ Beats, DJ Steves, and Chabuddy G. who broadcast garage music from their flat in Brentford, West London.

They also starred in the mockumentary show People Just Do Nothing which centred around the boys and what it takes to run an illegal business and chase their dreams. It's hilarious.

However, it won't just be the DJs featuring in this lockdown party. There will be seven hours of free entertainment in total.

Charity Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is organising the lock in and it will also feature performances from the likes of Years and Years, Chris and Kem from Love Island (who will host a pub quiz), Frank Turner and comedians Ed Gamble and Phil Wang (who will be cooking up a storm - hopefully in a hilarious way.)

There's set to be something for everyone in the 5pm - midnight show from comedy to music and TV personalities, but it's later on you can expect to hear from the Kurupt FM DJs, 10-11pm.

The boys have so far been using their coronavirus isolation time wisely too, by entertaining their Brentford flat block. Just a few days ago they were DJing on their balcony getting people to spit lyrics back at them garage style. It looked like the mother of all parties.

They even took to Instagram to say alongside the video of them DJing: "F**K ALL THAT WEIRD BREARS PLAYING INSTRUMENTS AND DOING EXERCISE S**T THIS IS BRENTFORD!" LOL.

And now they're back ready to entertain again tonight for a good cause.

Whilst they aren't on until 10pm, you can head to the CALM Instagram page here from 5pm and the host of the event, Vick Hope, will direct you as to whose Insta accounts to visit next - but it looks likely Chris and Kem will be kicking off their quiz first off.

The live event not only will keep you amused for seven whole hours and prove Friday nights in can be a total rave, but it aims to raise money to support CALM's crucial helplines, which have seen a 37 per cent increase in daily calls in the last week.
