FESTIVAL VENUES
THE HUSTLE
The Hustle is a mirror-ball studded, neon haven; a space to dance day and night on our trademark resonant dancefloor. The Remedy is the connected, palm-bedecked cocktail bar boasting satellite speakers and hand-made booths and supplying free-flowing craft cocktails to the glitterati. Founded in 2017 at Wilderness Festival, The Hustle has become an institution for dancefloor and electronic music devotees.
Programming is varied. We warm up the sound-system with a daily Bass Bath - a hosted session exploring the effects of low-end frequencies using 2 x 1/4 tonne 32” subs. Participants are encouraged to lie on the wooden floor to maximise the immersive vibrational effects. Other daytime antics include a themed Kids Sensory Disco, analogue vinyl sessions and hip hop tributes.
Highlights to date: sets from Eats Everything, Mr Doris, PBR Streetgang, Nightmares on Wax, Bex, Cousn, Waze & Odyssey, Jaegerossa, ABSOLUTE. Takeovers from House of Disco, Midnight Riot, Jalapeño Records, Earnest Endeavours, Brilliant Corners, Ransom Note and Skanky Panky - though the dancefloor is never more packed than when at the hands of our illustrious and talented residents: Tim Fanucci, Hustle creator Andy Ellis (The Head of State) and Audio Feed head honcho DJ Oz.
The Hustle and all it comprises is informed by two decades designing, programming and building festival stages. Past glories include The Drop (SGP), The Meteor (Glade), Poundland (SGP), The Rockery (SGP) and current setup The Hustle (Wilderness, Electric Picnic). The Hustle is founded on an obsession with high fidelity. Subs sit upon a custom resonant dancefloor. The 42-foot canvas round enables quadrophonic sound (minimising sound bleed) via our impeccably fresh L-acoustics sound-system (Audio Feed).
The last 6 years have seen The Hustle late-night dance venue and adjoining Remedy Cocktail Bar become a destination for the intelligent party crowd and we work hard to ensure that it's a significant commercial win for the show. Our ongoing passion for excellent music, crowd-drawing, discerning programming and sound experiences go hand-in-hand with a unique craft-on-draft system for serving quality cocktails at high volume: this is a winning combination.
