Hospitality, the events arm of Hospital Records, is launching a London summer event as part of the label’s 30th year celebrations. The Hospital30 Block Party will take over N090 in Hackney Wick, East London on August a, bringing together more than 60 artists across six stages.

The event forms part of the wider Hospital30 anniversary programme taking place throughout the year. Celebrating three decades of one of drum and bass’ most influential labels, 2026 features a series of major events and gatherings including their debut show at Magazine London earlier this month, flagship destination festival Hospitality On The Beach in Tisno, Croatia, and the upcoming Hospital30 On The Harbour on Bristol’s waterfront at Lloyds Amphitheatre.

The Hospital30 Block Party introduces an open-meets-indoor concept for the brand in London. The event will span both sides of the canal in Hackney Wick, with six curated stages and areas ranging from intimate club rooms to a large outdoor stage. Attendees will be able to move freely between spaces throughout the day, exploring different sounds and atmospheres while experiencing the full spectrum of drum & bass in one place.

Designed as a full day out for the drum & bass community, the event welcomes both long-standing fans and those discovering the sound for the first time. Alongside the music programme, guests can relax in multiple chill out areas and refuel throughout the day at a dedicated street food and drinks court hosted by Hackney Bridge, known for its mix of independent food traders, bars and canal side seating. The event will also feature the Hospital Shop and plenty of outdoor spaces for soaking up the summer atmosphere.

Chris Goss, CEO and co-founder of Hospital Records, said: “We’re super excited to be back in London for a proper all-day celebration of drum & bass with our unbeatable Hospital family. Hospitality has always been about bringing people together, and with the Hospital30 Block Party we’re creating something really special – the first outdoor meets indoor, multi-space drum & bass day party of its kind in the capital. Six stages, brilliant artists representing diverse sonics and thousands of the drum & bass community all coming together under the midsummer sunshine. It’s going to be a truly special milestone in our 30 Years of Hospital celebrations!”
