Two summers ago, I mistakenly booked a family meal at Wapping Wharf during Hospitality’s legendary takeover of the Lloyds Amphitheatre. It sounded like a lot of fun, even if my dad was less than impressed, and I won’t be making the same mistake this summer, with an open-air celebration marking 30 years of Hospital Records.
Hospitality makes an unmissable return to Bristol on Saturday, July 25, with HOSPITAL30 ON THE HARBOUR. As part of the Siren Bristol summer series, this highly anticipated comeback of the brand’s Harbourside showcase. This special anniversary edition will celebrate the label’s ever-evolving identity across three decades.
Who is performing Hospitality?
Set against the iconic backdrop of Bristol’s waterfront, the main stage will serve as the heartbeat of the true Hospitality sound, featuring standout performances from Hybrid Minds, High Contrast, Fred V, Hoax, Pola & Bryson, Ryda and special guests DJ Marky, with Metrik and Lens also set to ignite the arena.
Meanwhile, Area 2 will be hosted by Nu:Tone’s newest venture, The Deep End, described as a “more intimate space curated for true heads and curious newcomers alike.” Championing both timeless selections and forward-thinking sounds, you’ll find it nestled beside local street-food vendors and the official Hospital Shop.
Stand-out sets from pioneers London Elektricity, Bryan Gee, Nu:Tone & Makoto guide you through a music journey alongside new skool flavours from Winslow, Gabriella Bongo and Bassi b2b Charli Brix, whilst on hosting duties across both stages are Dynamite, Ayah Marar, Texas, Ruthless and PVC.
HOSPITAL30 ON THE HARBOUR forms part of Hospital Records’ global 30th anniversary celebrations. Since its founding in 1996 by Tony Colman and Chris Goss, Hospital Records has grown into the world’s largest independent drum & bass label and has built a worldwide reputation for high-quality D&B events.
Alongside music, the site will host street-food traders, chill-out areas and festival pop-ups, including the Hospital Shop, adding to Hospitality’s inclusive, community-led atmosphere.
