20 and 21 July 2018 – HILLS OF BASS, a stage after midnight

Goldie

Goldie is currently the most recognisable face of Drum & Bass and Jungle music. There’s hardly anyone who’s had greater influence on the shaping of this culture, and Goldie’s work over the years with icons such as David Bowie, Noel Gallagher, The Sex Pistols, among a host of other performers, is only part of the evidence.

High Contrast

High Contrast is one of the most respected producers in the world of electronic music. His rich discography and collaborations with Adele, Duke Dumont, White Stripes, Kanye West and many others are most impressive. High Contrast's gig at Hills of Bass will indeed be unique, as he will come onstage together with the multi-award winning Dynamite MC.

Matrix & Futurebound

There’s hardly a Matrix single in the last decade that hasn’t been on the U.K. Top 40 chart. The band has had projects with artists such as Emeli Sande, Tinie Tempah, Jess Glynne and Eric Prydz.

DJ Friction

DJ Friction has been defining the Drum & Bass sound on BBC One for years, and we’re certain his set at Hills of Bass will be shattering. He’ll be joined onstage by the renowned vocalist of Linguistics, who is a fixture at Friction’s performances.

Calyx & Teebee

Calyx & Teebee are among the most highly valued producers of RAM Records and absolute favourites of the Bulgarian fans. They will offer their specialty: the mixing of six players and three mixers, a formula that cannot fail to impress fans’ hearts.

Agressor Bunx

The Agressor Bunx duo is made up of the brothers Alexander and Nikolay from Ukraine. They started in 2009 and have since released pieces for the industry's biggest labels: RAM Records, Program, Blackout and Eatbrain. Their latest album came out in 2017 solidifying their presence on the scene.

21 July 2018 – Judas Priest

Judas Priest is the first big name we’re about to see in the park near the Rowing Canal. This legendary group needs no introduction. We’ll see them on 21 July with all their hits and an astounding multimedia show.

22 July 2018 – Iron Maiden

IRON MAIDEN will perform at Hills of Rock Exclusive, an extended set specially for them.
