The Hydra and BICEP are teaming up to bring together the best of the underground scene for a DRUMSHED takeover.
A fixture in Londonβs club culture, The Hydra has continually shaped the cityβs underground scene for over a decade. This seasoned institution now teams up with long-term affiliates BICEP for their most ambitious venture yet. Taking command of the newly opened DRUMSHEDS complex, the event will boast three immense spaces - X ROOM, Y ROOM, Z ROOMβpromising electrifying performances, including BICEP's CHROMA A/V DJ, alongside an incredible production and a stellar lineup featuring Daphni, Clark, SHERELLE, Marcel Dettmann, Kelly Lee Owens, Sicaria, Special Request, and more. It's The Hydra's biggest edition yet, uniting the most dynamic artists in experimental and underground music for an unforgettable experience!
