Hospitality makes an unmissable return to Bristol this summer with HOSPITAL30 ON THE HARBOUR, an open-air celebration marking 30 years of Hospital Records. Taking place on Saturday 25th July at the Lloyds Amphitheatre for the first time in more than a year as part of the Siren Bristol summer series, this is a highly anticipated comeback of the brand’s Harbourside showcase. Following three back-to-back sold-out shows in the city in previous years, the stage is now set for another unmissable day in the mid-summer sunshine.
Set against the iconic backdrop of Bristol’s waterfront, the Harbourside provides one of the city’s most impressive outdoor locations and is surrounded by the energy of the city centre, overlooking the harbour itself. The main stage will once again take its place in front of the Lloyds Amphitheatre, offering a large, open-air setting with easy access from Bristol Temple Meads and the wider city.
For this special anniversary edition, Hospitality will spotlight a vibrant spectrum of drum & bass talent from across the spectrum, celebrating the label’s ever-evolving identity across three decades. 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, a contrasting, more intimate space curated for true heads and curious newcomers alike. Dedicated to the deeper side of D&B, it offers the freedom to explore, championing both timeless selections and forward-thinking sounds. Nestled beside local street-food vendors and the official Hospital Shop, it’s a zone built for connection, discovery and genuine musical exploration. 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 proudly sits within the wider Siren Bristol summer series, the city’s flagship programme of open-air concerts at the Lloyds Amphitheatre. Siren brings together landmark live shows across genres in one of Bristol’s most iconic waterfront settings. The first announcement in the series for 2026 last year unveiled the highly anticipated return of The Maccabees who play on Thursday 23rd July, with another major event still to be announced. Together, the series showcases Bristol as a destination for world-class live music, uniting artists, fans and the city itself across a summer of standout cultural moments.
HOSPITAL30 ON THE HARBOUR also 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, recognised for its consistency, creative vision and the strong sense of community at the core of its music and events. Through its flagship brand Hospitality, the label has built a worldwide reputation for high-quality D&B experiences in London, the UK and across international cities.
Alongside the 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 that welcomes lifelong supporters and newcomers. With a long history of sell-out shows in Bristol alongside Bristol’s renowned Bass Music rave curators The Blast, this 2026 edition is set to bring thousands together for a sun-soaked celebration at one of the city’s most iconic waterfront locations.
