Taking command of the newly opened DRUMSHEDS complex, the event will boast three immense spaces - X ROOM, Y ROOM, Z ROOM—promising electrifying performances, including BICEP's CHROMA A/V DJ, alongside an incredible production and a stellar lineup featuring Daphni, Clark, SHERELLE, Marcel Dettmann, Kelly Lee Owens, Sicaria, Special Request, and more. It's The Hydra's biggest edition yet, uniting the most dynamic artists in experimental and underground music for an unforgettable experience!

BICEP, deeply intertwined with Broadwick Live, has been pivotal in shaping the collective’s musical vision. Their history-making performance as unannounced special guests at Printworks’ closing party, featuring an iconic moment with Sully’s 5ives, cemented their legacy. Continuing this narrative, BICEP invites the experimental UK bass producer Sully to be part of this groundbreaking show. With groundbreaking production by UVA artists across the colossal spaces of X, Y, and Z ROOMS, The Hydra X BICEP is going to be a big one. Tickets for this exceptional event are available via resale.
Date: 8 December 2023. Location: DRUMSHED Price: from £29.50 + Booking fee. Book now.
