Hidden Festival Returns for 2025 – Bigger, Bolder, and Bringing the Heat to Milton Keynes

Hidden Festival is back for its third year in 2025, and this time, it’s levelling up in a major way. What started as a 3,500-person-per-day event has now scaled to an epic 10,000-capacity, single-day rave in the heart of Central Milton Keynes.

With this huge expansion, Hidden has locked in some serious firepower to take over the main stages, enlisting two of the biggest brands in the game—Hospitality and ABODE Records—to curate the sounds.

At Data Transmission, we’re buzzing to announce that we’re supporting the ABODE stage, with our very own resident DJ and label A&R Loz Seka stepping up after a phenomenal 2024. Fresh from smashing last summer’s Hidden Festival, Loz returns with even more heat, coming off the back of a monster year in the scene.

Loz Seka: A 2024 to Remember

Loz Seka has been unstoppable. His collaboration ‘One More Time’ was a huge success last year, getting BBC Radio 1 love from Arielle Free and even making it onto the MainStage at Tomorrowland Brazil, where Carola gave it a massive spin. Now, Loz is back with another Latin-infused rolling tech house heater, ‘Loca’, set to keep dancefloors moving.

Beyond the studio, he’s been tearing up stages across the world. 2024 highlights include:

✅ 11 Radio 1 plays
✅ Headline shows in Ibiza
✅ A standout set at BBC Introducing Live
✅ Kickstarting 2025 in style with a BBC Introducing guest mix for Toolroom Records
✅ First Radio 1 spin of the year with Arielle Free opening her ‘Rave Up’ show on Jan 23rd, featuring his remix of Rowetta & Lizzie Curious’ ‘Energy’

With Loz Seka on board, the ABODE stage at Hidden Festival 2025 is going to be next level.

ABODE House & Tech House Stage – Big Room Energy Incoming

Hidden Festival has brought in big-boy hitters for the house & tech house stage, with Solardo, Eats Everything, Richy Ahmed, and wAFF leading the charge. At Data Transmission, we’ve supported Solardo from day one, watching their meteoric rise from underground selectors to international festival mainstays. Their energy behind the decks is unmatched, and we already know they’re going to light up Milton Keynes this summer.

But Eats Everything is bringing something extra special this year…

Eats Everything’s New Album: A Love Letter to Rave Culture

We’ve been Eats Everything fans since day one, and his latest album, ‘We Lost Ourselves And Found A Family,’ is something truly special. Dropping today (March 7th) via Three Six Zero Recordings / Ministry Of Sound, this 16-track masterpiece is a deep dive into rave culture’s past, present, and future.

Featuring legends like Kerri Chandler, Goldie, MJ Cole, Chris Lorenzo, and more, the album is a genre-spanning journey through house, garage, breakbeat, and beyond.

🔥 ‘The Deeper’ – A deep house groover with Kerri Chandler’s unmistakable touch.
🔥 ‘One Call’ – UKG vibes with the master himself, MJ Cole.
🔥 ‘Absolutely Mental’ – A breakbeat banger with MC SGT Pokes, made for peak-time madness.
🔥 ‘Side By Side’ – A house-garage hybrid with Gardna, built for festival energy.
🔥 ‘We Lost Ourselves And Found A Family’ – The title track, where Goldie reflects on the spirit of the early rave scene.

For Milton Keynes ravers, there’s an extra treat—‘The Sanctuary’ is a direct nod to the legendary MK venue, one of the UK’s most iconic rave spots. Eats taps into that raw old-school energy, delivering a track made for warehouse chaos and laser-lit dancefloors.

Hidden Festival attendees are in for something special when Eats takes the stage.

The Hospitality Drum & Bass Stage – A Legendary Lineup Lands in Milton Keynes

Hidden Festival is bringing Hospitality to Milton Keynes, and the lineup is absolute carnage. A.M.C & MC Phantom, High Contrast, P Money x Whiney, Born On Road, Emily Makis, and more, all hosted by Linguistics, CARASEL, and B Line—this is drum & bass history in the making.

🔥 High Contrast is a Hospital Records legend, and seeing him touch down in Milton Keynes is a moment. Expect anthem after anthem, from ‘If We Ever’ to ‘Remind Me’, all delivered with that signature cinematic touch.

🔥 A.M.C – One of the most technically gifted DJs in drum & bass, A.M.C is bringing the heat with relentless double and triple drops. If you’ve seen him live before, you already know the energy levels are next level.

🔥 P Money x Whiney – Two heavyweights of the D&B x grime crossover. Their set will be a serious shell-down.

🔥 Born On Road – Pioneers of feel-good jungle and bassline-infused D&B, Born On Road are all about positive vibes and high-energy rollers.

🔥 Emily Makis—One of the freshest voices in drum and bass, her vocal-led anthems are pure singalong material.

Hidden Festival has levelled up. A brand-new 10,000-capacity site in Central Milton Keynes, world-class stages, and an insane lineup—this is shaping up to be one of the UK’s biggest dance music events of the summer.
