The anticipated bank holiday blow-out, Hospitality Returns To The Dock is on Friday 10 April where they’ll be taking over one of London’s most valued raving spaces, Tobacco Dock.  The esteemed label is bringing round three of their unbeatable all-day special with a full-spectrum line-up across several stages, plus some very special guests. Their past two shows at Tobacco Dock have both sold out, so you can expect this one to be huge.

Tobacco Dock’s breath-taking Great Gallery will be the designated main room for Hospitality. The record label’s long-time heavyweight acts on the bill include Camo & Krooked, Metrik, Inja’s Fully Fuelled Flex and more. Hospital Records’ late sister label Med School also has an exclusive takeover dubbed ‘The Graduation Ceremony’ with Whiney, Keeno, Etherwood and Bop on a quadruple back to back set. The Great Gallery fits up to 1,500 revellers and while this room can get busy, the space-optimised D&B Audio system will guarantee a clear sound all-round.


Downstairs is the venue’s second biggest space, the Car Park, reserved for the rowdier, bass-heavy acts. A flavoursome jungle line-up featuring S.P.Y, Jungle Warriors, Workforce and the iconic breaks-enthusiast Special Request completes the Dubplate Style takeover. This arena is based in a literal basement parking lot with painted spaces, pipes, minimal lighting and a monstrous sound system; strictly underground vibes.

On the first floor of Tobacco dock you can find the Terrace. The outdoor, rooftop bar setting offers an impressive view of the city which is perfect for the liquid rollers supplied by the DJ Marky & Friends. The esteemed vinyl scratch-master DJ Marky will be accompanied by  Makoto, Pola & Bryson and Benny L.

The Side Gallery is reserved for the up and coming drum and bass artists representing Skankandbass. Chances are you’ve come across one of the many quality tracks from the channel’s free download series. Skankandbass have invited some of their household names to perform including Data 3, Deadline and Sustance, as well as fresh talent from other labels including Biological BeatsTraumatize and Shogun’s GLXY.

If you haven’t already, make sure you check out Hospital’s latest compilation series, Sick Music 2020. The 25-track album is loaded with original tracks, exclusive remixes and future hits from the label’s family and friends, including London Elektricity, Kings Of The Rollers, S.P.Y, Grafix, Inja, Fred V, Unglued, Urbandawn, DRS & Dynamite, Kanine and more.

This drum and bass extravaganza promises to be one of their biggest London line-ups to date.Get ticketsfor Hospitality Returns To The Dock on Friday 10 April – tickets are already on fourth release so hurry!
