HOSPITAL RECORDS CELEBRATES 30 YEARS WITH 4000 CAPACITY DAY FESTIVAL IN HACKNEY WICK

The new 4,000-capacity, six-stage event in Hackney Wick spanning both indoor and open-air spaces forms part of Hospitality’s wider 30th anniversary programme, alongside Hospitality On The Beach in Croatia and Hospital30 On The Harbour in Bristol.

Hospitality, the global events arm of Hospital Records, is launching a brand-new London summer event as part of the label’s landmark 30th year celebrations. The Hospital30 Block Party will take over N090 in Hackney Wick, East London on 1st August, bringing together more than 60 artists across six stages and areas for a full day celebrating drum & bass culture under the summer sun.

The event forms part of the wider Hospital30 anniversary programme taking place throughout the year. Celebrating three decades of one of drum & bass’ most influential labels, 2026 features a series of major events and gatherings including their debut show at Magazine London earlier this month, flagship destination festival Hospitality On The Beach in Tisno, Croatia, and the upcoming Hospital30 On The Harbour on Bristol’s waterfront at Lloyds Amphitheatre.

Driven by the passion of Hospitality fans for a summer day party in the capital, the Hospital30 Block Party introduces an open-meets-indoor concept for the brand in London. The event will span both sides of the canal in Hackney Wick, with six curated stages and areas ranging from intimate club rooms to a large outdoor stage. Attendees will be able to move freely between spaces throughout the day, exploring different sounds and atmospheres while experiencing the full spectrum of drum & bass in one place.

The six stage programme will showcase a broad cross section of drum & bass, reflecting the sound and community built around Hospital Records over three decades. Across the lineup, fans can expect performances from artists including High Contrast, DJ Marky, Pola & Bryson, P Money x Whiney, Fred V, Makoto, Black Sun Empire, London Elektricity, DJ Die, Nu:Tone, QZB, Flava D and many more, with special guests appearing across the day.

Designed as a full day out for the drum & bass community, the event welcomes both long-standing fans and those discovering the sound for the first time. Alongside the music programme, guests can relax in multiple chill out areas and refuel throughout the day at a dedicated street food and drinks court hosted by Hackney Bridge, known for its mix of independent food traders, bars and canal side seating. The event will also feature the Hospital Shop and plenty of outdoor spaces for soaking up the summer atmosphere.

Chris Goss, CEO & CoFounder of Hospital Records, said: "We're super excited to be back in London for a proper all-day celebration of drum & bass with our unbeatable Hospital family. Hospitality has always been about bringing people together, and with the Hospital30 Block Party we're creating something really special - the first outdoor meets indoor, multi-space drum & bass day party of its kind in the capital. Six stages, brilliant artists representing diverse sonics and thousands of the drum & bass community all coming together under the midsummer sunshine. It's going to be a truly special milestone in our 30 Years of Hospital celebrations!”

With a capacity of around 4,000 people, the event aims to capture the signature Hospitality atmosphere in an outdoor summer setting. From liquid and soulful rollers to jungle, minimal and neuro, the programme reflects the diversity of the genre while staying true to the uplifting energy that Hospitality events have become known for worldwide.

Founded in South London in 1996, Hospital Records has grown into the world’s largest independent drum & bass label and one of the genre’s most influential institutions. Alongside its label output, Hospitality has spent more than two decades building a global reputation for its events and festivals, hosting shows across the UK, Europe, North America, Asia and Australia while bringing together a worldwide community of drum & bass fans.

Access to this discounted release will be offered exclusively to those who join the pre-sale via the pre sale sign up link.

ASTRAL PLANE: TOTAL ECLIPSE FESTIVAL LA PINILLA MOUNTAIN RESORTS, SEGOVIA, SPAIN

Astral Plane: Total Eclipse Festival is a brand-new festival taking place this summer in the mountains of Segovia, Spain with a program aligned with Spain's 2026 total solar eclipse. The festival’s inaugural edition will take place one hour from Madrid at La Pinilla Mountain Resorts in the Sierra Ayllón Mountain Range – strategically chosen for the best views of the astronomical event.

The Eclipse Set

The festival will be anchored by a centrepiece eclipse set aligned with the moment of totality. Keen to transform the celestial phenomenon into a transcendent cultural experience, who better to take charge than Detroit techno founding father Kevin Saunderson. Kevin will play a 4-hour set, crafted specifically for this unique moment with the eclipse framed behind him – a truly once in a lifetime moment.

But before then there’s a whole host of talent to get the party started with some of electronic music’s finest taking to the stages. One of the scene’s most enduring and important figures Berlin icon Ellen Allien brings her electrifying performance to the festival, plus; Detroit electro pioneer DJ Stingray 313, British techno legend Luke Slater, the fierce and uncompromising Ben Sims, German techno powerhouse Lilly Palmer, Berlin’s Gerd Janson – one of the world’s most respected selectors, Irish house favourite Mano Le Tough, techno powerhouse Nicole Moudaber, and Dutch house maestro Ferreck Dawn. Or:la, Dense & Pika, Eli Escobar, Jen Cardini, Eris Drew and Marie Madeleine round out a bill that spans the full breadth of house and techno.

Spanish representatives include homegrown hero Coyu, while the international underground is further represented by Georgian selector Salome, Japanese DJ Riria, Italian house craftsman Black Loops, Munich collective Toy Tonics, and rising names Ammara, Urumi, DJ Fuckoff, Anso, Deceit, Dr Dak, Hermetica, Jose Pushmann, Riviani and Santi complete the lineup.

The music will be spread across three stages:

The Eclipse Stage: the main stage, for the festival’s biggest acts.

The Mountaintop Stage: on a plateau overlooking Sierra Ayllón, accessible by ski lift or hiking.

The Starship Stage: for the festival’s up-and-coming acts.

During the day there will also be talks and workshops on the eclipse’s scientific and societal significance held prior to the musical programming – details tbc.

More on Astral Plane, the Total Solar Eclipse, and La Pinilla:

The August 12th 2026 total solar eclipse will be the first total solar eclipse to cross Europe this century. For those standing in the path of totality, day will become night, stars will appear in the sky, and the sun's corona will emerge as a white halo around the black disk of the moon. Astral Plane searched for a location in the path of totality with a high chance of clear skies on the day of totality, the capacity to welcome 10,000 attendees across three days of programming, and a main stage positioned to frame the Wednesday performances in a picturesque moment during the eclipse. La Pinilla Mountain Resort meets all of these criteria, with an 80% chance of clear skies, a 12,000-capacity main stage with the sun as a backdrop, and a history of hosting multi-day music festivals on the mountain (Zamna Festival) and in town (Huercasa Country Festival).

Camping and glamping options will be available onsite. The towns of Riaza and surrounding areas offer various accommodation options, from camping to hotels and B&Bs. La Pinilla and Riaza are only an hour’s drive from Madrid, so attendees will also have the option to stay in Madrid, take a bus from Madrid to Riaza, and take a shuttle from Riaza to the festival grounds.

Astral Plane is conceived as a roaming festival, built to follow the shadow of the moon wherever it falls. Beyond this summer, the next editions plan to follow the 2027 eclipse crossing Southern Spain, North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula and then 2028’s eclipse over Australia.

One ticket, one tree

For every ticket sold, we’ll plant a tree in La Pinilla or its surrounding nature reserves. The festival exists because of this landscape, the mountains that frame the eclipse, the clear skies, and the natural amphitheatre of the Sierra de Ayllón. This commitment ensures the festival gives back to the environment that makes it possible.
