DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL X ROCKTAIL COCKTAIL 26 💛

this was our first download since 2022 not playing the doghouse stage, and whilst we agree it was good to have a year off (how were we ever gonna top vengaboys last year?!), we were still sad not to spend 2 hours causing chaos with you all...

BUT what happened on saturday night at rocktail brought tears to our eyes... no official announcements on the schedule / download app, just a social media post from us saying we were gonna be playing a 2 hour set which proceeded to be the busiest rocktail cocktail has ever been in the 8 years it's been there 🥹

everyone loves playing big stages but when you get a smaller capacity filled to the brim through word of mouth, with nothing but metalheads having it large, it really makes for a beautiful moment 💛

thank you for always supporting us at download & rocktail cocktail, every year you you give us a new core memory... we wonder if 2027 will bring the same? 😈

DONCASTER WAREHOUSE DEBUT IN NOVEMBER 🥹

Good Evening Ravers

Here we go then...

As you all know, we're taking over the mighty Doncaster Warehouse!

Now, the Warehouse is known for hosting some absolutely unbelievable headline acts and top-tier multi-genre DJ and MC talent. So I sat down and thought to myself, "How do we make this one special?"

I wanted to bring you a proper mix of local talent, some of the scene's most respected and top-notch MCs, alongside a selection of unreal producer/DJs who are the future of our scene. And to top it all off, we've got a headline act that's never performed at Doncaster Warehouse before!

After a lot of planning, this is the line-up I've come up with, and honestly, I couldn't be happier with it.
We're also bringing you The Ravers Choice Academy Outdoor Arena, showcasing some of the newest and most exciting multi-genre artists coming through the ranks. The future is looking bright, and we're proud to give these talented artists a platform to shine.

A massive shout-out and thank you to Ste Steal at SMC Designs for absolutely smashing the flyer design. Top bloke, top work, and highly recommended if you're looking for quality design work.
Tickets are live and the link is in the comments.

Don't hang about—grab yours now and join us for what promises to be an absolutely massive day and night of music, energy, and memories. 🔥🎶
