Hospital Records is turning 30, and they're throwing a proper block party across Hackney Wick to mark it. A multi-stage drum & bass takeover featuring the label's roster is exactly the kind of summer day you'll be telling people about in December.

Saturday, 1 August from 1pm to 10pm. Hospital Records joins forces with Hospitality to run multiple stages across Hackney Wick's venues — the kind of sprawling, interconnected setup that lets you stumble between rooms and discover something new every time. It's a celebration of three decades of drum & bass, so expect the full range: the heavy, the soulful, the experimental.
The vibe
Hackney Wick in August is already vibrant — add a legendary drum & bass label and you've got a festival atmosphere without leaving the city. Multi-stage events there tend to feel less corporate than arenas and more like you're part of something intimate but massive. Nine hours of back-to-back music means you can arrive late, leave early, or commit fully.
Getting tickets
Tickets originally sold out, but resale is now live. Prices aren't listed here, but resale platforms often go on the higher side. Check the usual suspects — Skiddle, Ticketmaster, and dedicated resale sites. Strictly 18+.
