WILD LIFE Festival

Brighton City Airport
Saturday 11th – Sunday 12th June, 2016

Here we go again! There’s a lot of excitement for the return of WILD LIFE this year. Hosted by Disclosure & Rudimental it’s going to push all the right buttons for fans of Dance Music and Hip-Hop, with support from Busta Rhymes, Ice Cube & De La Soul to make your ears salivate (if your ears actually salivate then please see a doctor, it’s not natural).

Dust off your baseball cap and prepare for another top notch weekend down at Shoreham airfield. We are expecting this to get rowdy (in a good way) with pretty much every artist on the lineup perfectly able to make a crowd bounce, essentially turning the festival in to a mess of dancing zombies, slaves to the music. We are looking forward to jumping in to the middle of it all, losing ourselves in one of the most energetic festivals the UK has to offer.

So who are our must see highlights (besides those we mentioned above, obviously)? Well, on Saturday The Avalanches are a sure fire hit. Their use of samples and ingenious fluidity makes for an enjoyable ride.

Carl Cox, a legend of the house scene will likely blow the festival away on the Sunday, so make sure you make it to the WHP stage early to witness his phenomenal set.

Of course, we have to give an honourable mention to pirate radio parody legends Kurupt FM. Expect UK Garage & Grime, with heavy doses of spoof thrown in. Just remember not to take them too seriously.

Whoever you end up stumbling over to see across the weekend, you are sure to have an amazing time, with every stage glowing with talented artists just waiting to make this glorious weekend in June one to remember!
