Hospitality In The Woods, the renowned and award-winning celebration of all things Drum & Bass, returns on Saturday 19th August 2023 to the beautiful Beckenham Place Park. This year's event promises to be a heavyweight date on the calendar, with expertly engineered stages hosting a line-up of headliners that cover the full sonic spectrum of DnB including Netsky, High Contrast, A.M.C, Calibre, Roni Size, DJ Marky, Camo & Krooked, Goddard, LTJ Bukem, Metrik, Makoto, T>I , Degs, Ruthless MC and many more.

The Hospitality in The Woods lineup captures the versatility that the label brings today. From the dulcet tones of Degs to the sophisticated sound design of Whiney. All the flavours of DnB are represented from jungle, liquid, jump up, rollers (if it’s a sub-genre ;)) neurofunk, dancefloor to minimal.

Degs told wheredjsplay: 

"Hospitality In The Woods is definitely the highlight of the summer. So many labels, brands, artists & ravers all coming together under the Hospitality banner; I can't wait for this summer and to be reunited with the whole drum & bass family" - Degs

Hospital Records has always been about family vibes. And Beckenham woods looks like the perfect place to celebrate this. Set in beautiful surroundings, with greenery, a lush lake, a mansion! And close to london. It's a setting that parallels the classic Hospital sound, beautiful, soulful vibes set against a backdrop of technology and industry. 

"With such amazing memories from Hospitality Weekend In The Woods in 2021, we cannot wait to continue the next chapter of the festival this summer. Beckenham Place Park is the perfect location with a beautiful lake, enormous mansion, ancient woodland and unique and interesting terrain to host unique spaces to dance. We welcome the entire drum & bass community to join us for a whole day celebrating the music we all love." - The Hospitality in the Woods Team. 

Stage hosts include Hospitality, who will be delivering a showcase of the modern scene and giving respect to where it’s come from, with special performances from Metrik B2B Grafix, London Elektricity (presents 20 years of Billion Dollar Gravy), a rare Netsky performance and many more. 

Let it Roll will be bringing the heat from the Czech Republic, with the face melting, tekkers of A.M.C, alongside hefty showcasing from Critical, Shogun Audio and more. 

Bristol veterans Run will be combining forces with Invicta Audio who have been smashing out consistent big line-ups and releases. There will be sets from Camo and Krooked, Goddard, T>I and many more frontrunners of the scene. 

 T>I reminisced on the previous Hospitality in the Woods with wheredjsplay:

"My 2021 set with D*minds & the late great Mc Skibbadee was one for the history books the vibes were immaculate" - T>I 

Things are going to "get big, bad and heavy" with the 30 years of V stage bringing everything from neurofunk to liquid to old school. It’s going to be a ‘who’s who’ of scene pioneers including Roni Size, Bryan Gee, Jumpin Jack Frost, Marky, and Gaf on the wob Serum B2B Bladerunner for a dubplate special. 

The Hospitality friends and family stage adds the elusive Calibre to the line up supported by the lyrical prowess of DRS, alongside LTJ Bukem, Makoto, Fred V, Nu: Logic and many more. 

Makoto talked to us about the last Hospitality in the Woods: 

'It was simply unforgettable, can't wait to do it all over again!' - Makoto 

A range of vocalists will be adding to the vibes including Emily Makis, Solah and Zara Kershaw. Plus, new school MC's will be stepping up alongside pioneers of the scene, including: Jakes, GQ, SP:MC, Conrad, Chickaboo, Dynamite MC, Stamina, Harry Shotta, Ruthless MC, Visionobi, Degs, and many more.

Ruthless MC talked to wheredjsplay about previous years: 

"Hospitality in the woods was a mind-blowing, goosebump giving, hot flush of beautiful emotions" - Ruthless MC

With all of this contained in one day, it’s one for the current crop of ravers and the veterans. Who doesn’t love a day rave?
