Hospital Records to Celebrate 30th Anniversary With Hospital30 On The Harbour

The influential record label will make its long-awaited Bristol homecoming with an unmistakable line-up at the Lloyds Amphitheatre.

Hospital Records, one of the most influential labels in dance music and a cornerstone of the drum & bass movement right from its foundational year, is entering its 30th year. To kick off the celebrations, the label has announced its return to Bristol this summer with Hospital30 On The Harbour, an open-air event celebrating three decades of Hospital Records.

Taking place on Saturday, July 25, at the Lloyds Amphitheatre, this showpiece event marks a highly anticipated comeback of the label’s Harbourside showcase. Following three back-to-back sold-out shows in the city in previous years, Hospital Records has now set the stage for another unmissable day in the mid-summer sunshine.

For this special anniversary edition, Hospital Records will spotlight a vibrant spectrum of drum & bass talent from across the scene, 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, and Ryda, and special guests DJ Marky, Metrik, and Lens 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 DnB, it offers the freedom to explore, championing both timeless selections and forward-thinking sounds. Area 2 boasts a fascinating line-up of pioneers like London Elektricity, Bryan Gee, Nu:Tone and Makoto alongside new skool flavors 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 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, recognized 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 DnB 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.
