BOW 2016: Jackmaster & Eats Everything, Bigger than J.E.S.u.S? DJ Grand Prix

With BIGGER THAN J.E.S.u.S? DJ Grand Prix, Wunderground Radio, DJ Comp, Hot Tubz jamming, Art’s House chandelier swinging, The Rhythm Parlour and all the shenanigans of Butlins, Bogner Regis on the wildest Weekender of the year...

BUGGED OUT WEEKENDER is fast approaching and we’re so excited we’d be prepared to shaft Christmas and skip straight past the turkey coma, Bailey’s rehab and post NYE meltdown and right back onto that dancefloor. Especially since there is no end to the surprises the Weekender has in store for its loyal legion of disco loving, anti-detox sympathisers.

Jackmaster and Eats Everything sum it up pretty nicely in their recent VIDEO interview for BUGGEDOUT! chatting candidly about past Weekender escapades and gearing up for a J.E.S.u.S resurrection with Skream, that promises to be even BIGGER and ravey-er, swapping Seth Troxler for 90s house legend and all round good egg Armand Van Helden in the greatest B2B session the world has ever seen, debuting at Butlins, Bogner Regis - where else?

Daytime activities at the Weekender have always provided a much needed distraction from the inevitable hangover from the night before and besides the famous pool parties where you can wash your sins away to Jackmaster’s Tweak-a-holic scrub down or Bicep’s Hot Tub Jamz get down, you can also be sure the old classics are back in Bogner, including the annual Bugged Out Pub Quiz and Rave Karaoke.

The ARTISTS love to get a bit involved too... With Artwork becoming part of the ironic furniture at Butlins, Bugged Out is proud to be hosting Art’s House in a secret location on site for a cosy gathering like no other. Last year also saw the inaugural Jackmaster’s ‘Mad Wi’ It’ crazy golf tournament, but this year Jackmaster and friends will go one step further with a DJ Grand Prix featuring THESE BADBOYS. Hilarity is bound to ensue. Sponsored by the wonderful funny folk at Wunderground. The same bunch will be launching the first ever mobile ‘Wunderground Radio’ at Bugged Out Weekender- where faves of the Weekender will be invited to play one off one hour secret sets across the weekend. Will you have the luck of the Irish and find it?

The Rhythm Parlour [PICTURED], voted one of London’s best popups, will be on site for the 2016 edition providing hair cuts and styling for ravers. Soundtracked by DJs and artists from the lineup, there’s not a better place on site to get ready for the evening’s party.

If that’s not enough entertainment for you then take a stroll around everyone’s favourite holiday park sampling the delights of ten pin bowling, huge arcade areas, crazy golf and much more. Timetables will be included in the festival programme.
