Last year's debut festival was a roaring success, putting Electric Woodlands firmly on the map as an essential house and drum & bass getaway.

This year, due to popular demand, it stretches to two days with on-site camping options.

The adventurous line-up features a wealth of innovators from across the house and bass spectrum, as well as formidable stage partners including the much-loved DnB Allstars, the UK underground frontrunners CruCast, and the famously transportive party experience, Foreverland.

On top of these come drum & bass pioneers Shy FX, Wilkinson and Sub Focus, influential reggae don David Rodigan, bass-driven house star Hannah Wants, plus vibey female only DJ collective Girls Don’t Sync.
