Surround festival to take explorers on a 14 hour Mayan Adventure in the heart of the Cotswold hills

Brand new micro festival Surround is set to make waves with their unique musical experience housed in stunning geodesic domes within an Incan kingdom. 

A range of world class electronic and live acts will come together at a secret location just 30 minutes from Bristol and 90 minutes from London, for a party like no other. 

The Surround family are delighted to announce internationally acclaimed Electronic duo Koan Sound as the festival’s headliners. Their recent release on Skrillex’s OWSLA label has quickly gained international attention from the likes of Rolling Stone, they are truly not to be missed. 

Bringing a vibrant and exhilarating fusion of Trinidadian Soca and Sub Heavy UK underground to the Surround main stage will be Jus Now. The dancehall duo are behind the summer anthem ‘Tun Up’ and will deliver a lively set, airhorns and all, to get everyone jumping. 

The figureheads of the Bristol Grime scene Bandulu Gang will be tearing up the main dome in the early hours and will no doubt deliver a devastatingly bass-heavy set. 

Rinse FM resident and big beat scientist Sam Supplier will crack open the main dome as the sun sets on the festival journey. He will be followed by Rich Reason, a resident at the prolific Manchester Warehouse Project. 

The powerhouse brand of the Bristol scene Shapes, will be hosting their very own dome and showing the Surrounds revelers how to party! While Manchester deep dark house and future garage kings D Tached will be doing a main dome takeover. 

There will also be an epic treat for Dub fans on The Roots Radical soundsystem forest stage, with secret guests headlining. There is a strictly vinyl only policy so expect artists to be digging out their finest dubplates. 

This one is looking great, so don't miss your chance to boast to your friends about 'I remember the first one...'
