What's on

Six stages of UK bass culture take over Sawmills on Saturday 6 June. The festival runs from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., spanning drum and bass, jungle, UK garage, dubstep and everything in between. Born On Road has built a reputation for no-frills lineups and serious sound systems, and this Bristol takeover is their biggest show yet.

The vibe

Expect a proper multi-stage operation where you're constantly discovering new talent across genres. The energy is focused and unapologetic—minimal faffing, maximum music. Sawmills' riverside setting means decent space to roam between stages, and the crowd is there for the sound, not the Instagram moment. It's the kind of festival where you arrive at midday and emerge at closing time wondering where the day went.

Getting tickets

Tickets are available now through Skiddle and other major ticketing platforms. Prices vary depending on when you book, so early birds typically get the best deal. This is a day festival for over-18s only, so bring ID.

Where to stay

Bristol's city centre is just a short trip from Sawmills, and we've picked some solid hotels nearby to suit different budgets and styles. Most are within easy reach of the venue by taxi or night bus.

Getting there

From London, it's roughly two hours by train to Bristol Temple Meads, then a 15-minute cab to Sawmills. Driving from Birmingham or South Wales takes 90 minutes or so, depending on traffic. Coach services run regularly from across the UK.
