Boundary Brighton Unleashes 2025 Lineup With UK Rap & D&B Icons

Boundary Brighton Festival returns to Stanmer Park on Saturday 27th September and kicks off a new era. It’s back to bass as Boundary returns to its musical roots – drum & bass, UK rap, garage, jungle, bass, grime, and more. Brighton’s biggest electronic music festival will sound fresh and look it too with a brand new site and stage layout. The Phase One line up announcement is a statement of intent with showstopping headliners, Giggs, Andy C, and Shy FX, alongside massive names like Camo & Krooked  B2B Mefjus, Badger, D Double E, High Contrast, Girls Don’t Sync, Clipz, 4AM Kru, Bakey, Fabio & Grooverider and loads more. Tickets are on pre-sale 4th March starting at just £30 + b/f from www.boundarybrighton.com.

Over 10 years Boundary Brighton has grown to become a nationally recognised festival where thousands of party people mark the end of festival season with an epic celebration of electronic music. Now, Boundary is evolving, bringing a new vibe while losing none of its sense of community, creativity, and passion for raving. With a new location in Stanmer Park, more stages (and top-tier stage partners), this is a new energy and reimagined Boundary experience. 

As Boundary steps up to the next level, the Phase One announcement delivers a line up to match. Giggs steps up to the Boundary stage for a headline slot. The UK rap superstar has done it all; MOBO award winner, platinum record seller, Drake collaborator – few artists have done as much to put a scene on the map. Giggs at Boundary is going to be special. Also headlining is Andy C. When you talk about bass you have to talk about ‘the executioner’, another genre-defining artist 100% proven to tear up any stage whether he’s selling out Wembley Arena or packing out an underground residency at XOYO. This set will be absolutely huge! Shy FX also tops the bill and could be nowhere else. Since breaking through 25 years ago with ragga jungle anthem ‘Original Nuttah’ with UK Apache, Shy FX has been a mainstay of jungle and drum & bass. He’s produced and remixed for Dizzee Rascal, Kano, Chase & Status – the list goes on. Shy FX on the decks will never disappoint. 

Everywhere you look on this Phase One announcement there is proven talent. Highly respected duo Camo & Krooked go B2B with longtime collaborator Mefjus which is sure to deliver some D&B fire. Badger is unmissable with his unique, pumped-up, party garage, while D Double E will bring the slickest grime flows. Original junglist Clipz has made a welcome return to the scene and lands at Boundary after conquering all corners of the dance music circuit under his Redlight alias. High Contrast has been at the top table of D&B for over two decades – he’ll get Boundary bouncing with uplifting summer grooves. Girls Don’t Sync bring a box of garage bangers wherever they go and just keep getting bigger, much like 4AM Kru whose high-energy, bass-heavy rave spawned a massive album last year. The shouts will go up for Bakey from the Boundary aficionados when he takes to the decks with his credible take on UKG.

There will be no escaping quality tunes and big performances with artists also announced today including Amplify, Break & GQ, Champion, DJ Jackum, Emily Makis, Fabio & Grooverider & SP:MC, Mandidextrous & Maddy V, P Money & Whiney, and Simula.

More evidence of the new era of bass and vibes at Boundary Brighton Festival this year is found with the announcement of this year’s stage partners – a mix of the biggest names in bass and renowned local heroes. Boundary festivalgoers will be spoilt for choice with stages from UKF, Hospitality, Fingerlickin’ Records, Patterns, Volks, and In The Wild.   

Boundary Brighton is shaking things up as the festival heads to new levels in 2025. With a new location in Stanmer Park and a fresh new focus, this is Boundary 2.0 and the bass is about to drop.
