Each of the four arenas features an enviable roster of rave legends. You’re spoilt for choice with the litany of legends, whether it's hardcore connoisseurs like Breeze and Dougal, classic jungle and DnB pioneers like Fabio & Grooverider and Nicky Blackmarket, wicked house and old skool from Danny Rampling and K-Klass, or Deathmachine and Loftgroover over on the Technodrome. Aside from the music, Bowlers will be decked out with a full fairground experience to give you a breather from the brilliant servings of hardcore, drum and bass, jungle, and more. 

A cornerstone of UK rave culture, the expansive space of Bowlers Exhibition Centre has been home to iconic events such as Helter Skelter, Life, Asylum, Fantasia and more, making it a central hub for the era’s vibrant rave scene. Tickets are selling quickly, so book your tickets now to transport yourself back to the golden days of rave on Saturday 3rd May.
