The event showcases electronic music from the UK and the world. It has around ten music areas, covering genres of techno, house, breaks, psy trance, dub, ambient and more. Expect the stages to open each day by early afternoon, and to run into the early hours.

The Chillout area has evolved... It's now the inSpiral Chill. With a new feel and look run by the people behind the inSpiral Lounge in Camden and Aliji who will be programming the music and performance to create a space where you will be able to relax, heal and recharge with an amazing organic cafe, beautiful decor and downtempo music.
