Hidden Festival is returning to Milton Keynes on Saturday 12th July 2025, and it’s bigger than ever. Now set across a 10,000-capacity site in Central Milton Keynes, the event promises a full day of sound system culture with the best in Drum & Bass, House, Tech House, and UK Garage. Curated by a trio of heavyweights — Hospitality, ABODE, and Selecta — this is the kind of all-day session that turns summer memories into folklore.
Hospitality are taking care of the Drum & Bass, and their lineup is locked and loaded with serious names. From legends to fresh faces, expect wall-to-wall basslines, shellers on the mic, and the kind of energy only this genre can provide. Whether you’re a local, travelling in for the day, or just fancy a dose of sunshine and subs, this is the stage that’ll be shaking the pavement.
Tickets are already on sale, and with a line-up like this, they won’t hang around for long. Here are five essential acts not to miss when the Hospitality takeover hits MK. Grab your ticket here!
Here are five Drum & Bass acts you don’t want to miss at Hidden Festival when it kicks off…
High Contrast
High Contrast is a name that carries weight — not just in Drum & Bass, but across UK dance music. His productions helped shape the liquid funk sound, but his DJ sets go deeper: cinematic, uplifting, and always dancefloor ready. From his classics to fresh dubs, he’s one of those artists that manages to surprise even the heads. If you want a moment to lose yourself in a sea of melody and hands-in-the-air vibes, this is the one.
A.M.C & Phantom
When A.M.C steps up, the pace picks up. One of the most technically fierce DJs in the scene, A.M.C is known for his savage blends, rapid transitions, and an ability to flip a crowd in seconds. His sets are pure power — quickfire drops, double drops, and dubplates galore. Teaming up with long-time collaborator and mic-man Phantom, this duo deliver a masterclass in tension and release. Expect reloads, lasers, and energy levels in the red.
Anaïs
Straight from Bristol and rising fast, Anaïs brings something sharp and exciting to the decks. Her sets balance heavy low-end with rhythm-led finesse — a nod to jungle heritage, but with a modern, minimal edge. Whether she’s building tension with rolling subs or switching into choppier breaks, she commands attention. With growing support from the scene’s top labels and DJs, Anaïs is on the brink of a huge year. Catch her in MK before she’s shutting down main stages.
Degs
Few artists wear as many hats as well as Degs. A singer, rapper, DJ and selector, his sets blur the line between performance and experience. Signed to Hospital Records, he’s known for heartfelt vocals, slick selections and crowd connection that runs deep. One minute he’s layering vocals over a soulful roller, the next he’s stepping up the pressure with high-octane tracks and fire on the mic. Expect feels, groove and some proper hands-in-the-air moments.
DJ Amiah
Repping for the next generation, DJ Amiah is a name worth learning now. She’s already clocked appearances at Boomtown and Mucky Weekender, building her reputation on fast-paced, feel-good sets that touch on jungle, rollers and upfront steppers. With a style that’s all about vibe and crowd response, she’s set to level up in 2025 — with original productions in the pipeline and more festival slots incoming. Her set at Hidden could be a game-changer.
Hospitality never misses, and with a line-up like this in the heart of Milton Keynes, the stage is set for one of the biggest D&B moments of the summer. Whether you’re raving with the day ones or just pulling up for the bass, make sure these five acts are locked into your schedule.
