Gear up, drum and bass heads! The festival season is getting a turbocharged start with the launch of Hospitality Weekender, slated for 31st January to 2nd February 2025, at the legendary Butlins holiday resort in Bognor Regis.

This new indoor festival promises to morph Butlins into a drum and bass utopia, offering a perfect escape for a reunion of the genre’s enthusiasts.

More than 100 artists will set the vibe across four distinct stages, turning the venue into a dedicated drum & bass village. Festival-goers can snag packages starting at £252 per person, which covers both accommodation and festival tickets, ensuring everyone is part of the immersive experience without the hassle of the typical festival campsite.

Imagine dancing to the beats of Valve Soundsystem, Critical Sound, and Shogun Audio among others, then retiring to the comfort of an on-site room or cosy apartment. Plus, with amenities like pubs, restaurants, and supermarkets all within reach, every need is just a few steps away.

With Dillinja at the helm of Valve Soundsystem for an unprecedented weekend-long session, this is set to be an extraordinary kickoff to 2025’s festival season. Book your spot at Hospitality Weekender’s official site and be part of the early festival action!
