Two days, two promoters, one mission! Finsbury Park, London plays host to two huge music events over two days
Day one offered a dance party organised by south London drum and bass label Hospital Records (and their world famous events brand Hospitality) returning to Finsbury Park, London for a second year. Celebrating their 21st birthday, they brought with them worldwide flavours from treasured DJs, vocalists, live acts and MCs.
Hospitality In The Park brings together all things drum & bass in one place. A 360-degree celebration of dance music’s most diverse and exciting genre where multiple stages host drum & bass’ finest DJs, MCs, vocalists and live talent from all around the globe, with FabricLive hosting one of the stages for 2017.
We were once again delighted to be asked to team up with Innovation Power, one of the biggest independent temporary power suppliers in the UK, to provide the festival generator power for this two day DnB and electronic music extravaganza, to round off what has been a busy but amazing summer of events.
After extensive discussions with Innovation Power regarding the requirements needed for this amazing weekend, Powerhire assigned 11 x festival generators ranging from 30kVA to 300kVA along with 8 x 1000L and 2000L fuel tanks and ancillary equipment.
On the required delivery date our transport operatives and skilled engineers were dispatched to site, along with two lorries laden full with the festival equipment, ready to unload at the site and position into the designated areas ready for a weekend of unforgettable music.
The 12,000 revellers who descended on North London’s much-loved Finsbury Park on a sunny Saturday in September to bask in this DnB heaven were not disappointed. As day turned into night, the atmosphere continued in an upward trend with no sign of anything or anyone slowing down.
After a wonderful day of incredible music, the curtains came down, lights came up and the happy revellers headed home. “We promised this year was set to be bigger and brighter and it truly came together perfectly with a sea of smiles across the park!” https://www.facebook.com/HospitalityInThePark
Hospital will be taking over the expansive Tobacco Dock in east London for their next massive shindig taking place on the 14th April 2018. Make sure you get your tickets early!
After a few mainly cosmetic changes, day 2 re-opened as Abode in the Park presented by the legendary Adobe hosting their biggest event to date. This all-day electronic music festival accommodated over 25 DJ’s, including Steve Lawler, Darius Syrossian and Richy Ahmed who brought with them their otherworldly sounds from across the house and tech-house spectrum.
This daytime festival to rival all others entertained a 12,000-strong crowd with four stages of music. ABODE took control of the main stage while the world’s best-known clubbing institute Sankeys took the reins in the warehouse arena, bringing their legendary party atmosphere and production values along with them. They were joined by Ibiza’s legendary party brand Do Not Sleep who brought the Ibiza vibe to the day.
After this amazing two-day music fest came to a close and in the quiet morning after sunshine, our transport operatives and engineers were on hand once again to disconnect the equipment, reload and return to the depot for servicing and cleaning.
