[edit] T4 on the Beach 2007

The T4 presenter hosts of the event in 2007 were June Sarpong, Steve Jones and Miquita Oliver.

New for 2007, 4Music had their very own stage. The 4Music stage also hosted lots of exclusive short sets from up and coming bands that they reckoned were going to be huge. The winner of the online 4Music unsigned competition kicked the whole afternoon off.

Another new addition to 2007's event was "The Aygo Disco". Members of the audience had the unique opportunity to try their hand at DJ'ing in front of a packed crowd. All they needed to do was bring along their iPod, sign up and they stood a chance of playing a three song set for the music loving crowd.

In 2007 T4 on the Beach worked with the Teenage Cancer Trust on their "Rub It In" campaign.
