This year, for the very first time, Audi presents Wilderness has announced a Valley partnership with KOKO Electronic – the late-night arm of London’s iconic KOKO along with its electrifying lineup of world-class DJs, high-octane live bands, and risqué performances designed to thrill at late-nights.
As the sun sets and the shadows grow long, golden hour blazes across the flaming Cornbury plains, and the Night Realm crackles to life. Lasers leap from the forest canopy. Sound systems warmed and dancefloors energised, the party will take on a different persona. A host of world-class artists, DJs, and performers have just been added to the bill.
KOKO Electronic will curate Friday and Saturday nights at The Valley. Highlights include the Australian group Confidence Man, making their Valley debut with a DJ set following their hit performance at the 2023 Wilderness Main Stage.
The unstoppable Annie Mac will return with her dynamic and eclectic mixes, while the legendary BBC Radio 1 DJ and novelist continues to innovate with her ‘rave-early, home-early’ party series, Before Midnight.
The Atrium will welcome a masterful five-piece live show from Afriquoi, combining Gambian kora, Congolese guitar, and Mandinka percussion styles with house, garage, disco, soul, and jungle to create something truly spectacular.
Returning favourites include the ultra-talented, ethereal songwriter and producer Låpsley, performing works from her eclectic, genre-spanning back catalogue, and of course, Wilderness favourite and festival highlight, Eats Everything.
Iconic late-night party venue The Hustle will bring breakbeat legends The Plump DJs to add some plumpness, while 13-year-old DnB virtuoso DJ Hypester will descend to make you lose it. Too Many T’s legendary touring DJ, Savage Henry, will also return with his irrepressible vibes.
The public can find a brace of gorgeous, risqué club nights at The House of Sublime – a coalescing of Ibiza vibes and Berlin avant-garde. There’s the sexy and sassy, decadent and daring ‘Modest’ from One Night Parties – a celebration exclusively for women and non-binary people to explore their femininity.
The chaotic queer dance party, Knickerbocker Party will install their big vibes, and The Yard Theatre will take over with what will undoubtedly be a stunning, devastating, and unforgettable experience. Rising DJ doyennes Huns N’ Roses will take over The House with the Sue Veneers for an upfront party of energetic pop brilliance.
Renowned for rinsing rhythms and brass n bass, The Jumpyard will bring Bristol-based sound system Dr Meaker, beat juggling swing n’ bass impresario Mister Trick and his collective of musicians, folk institution Beans on Toast, and much more.
Legendary HQ of funtimes, The Club House – the place for surreal theatrics, games, hysterical dancing, and deeply silly participatory escapades – will present prolific house and disco DJ Jet Boot Jack with a set of his seismic belters.
Super fun party duo Bangers & Mash are expected to come with some kitchen-themed heat, nudisco label Disco Exotic will bring their high-energy DJs renowned for blending vintage disco grooves with tropical, eclectic beats, and Gonora Sounds – a busking family band from Zimbabwe.
All roads ultimately will lead to The Valley. First, there’d be a whole Night Realm to illuminate with your team of winners, a vibe squad ready to decorate any dancefloor, and a sparkling militia of hedonists and libertines primed with enough glitz and joie de vivre to warm the entire year. The Riddle will also be returning this year, with their lineup landing on 10 April.
