What's on

The festival takes over Sawmills on 6 June, running from 11:00 to 22:00. You're getting six stages simultaneously, which means the usual festival headache of choosing between sets is solved by the simple rule: more dance floor, more choice. Expect the full spectrum of bass music: DnB, jungle, UKG and dubstep across the night. This is the kind of event where you'll discover something new on stage four whilst your mate swears blind stage two had the best set of the night.

The vibe

Picture a club with the capacity and ambition of a festival, stripped of the weather complaints and muddy fields. There's energy here—the kind you get when you cram serious production values and serious selectors into one venue. It's busy, it's loud, and if you're into bass music in any of its forms, it's absolutely your lane. Eighteen-plus only, so it skews younger and looser.

Getting tickets

Check Skiddle for current pricing and availability. Multi-stage festivals like this usually offer good value if you're planning to stay all day, and early-bird discounts tend to pop up before the main event window. Grab yours sooner rather than later—six stages means capacity, but popular Bristol dates move quickly.
