Bugged Out Weekender

Butlins, Bognor, Friday, January 15, to Sunday, January 17, from £169 per person including accommodation, buggedoutweekender.net

FOR the last five years Bugged Out has refused to let the January blues get them down.

And to carry the seasonal party well into the New Year some of the biggest DJ names and live acts take over Butlins at Bognor for a weekend of pool parties and rave rooms with much nicer accommodation than the usual tented fare of a standard festival. Plus during the day clubbers can enjoy some of the Butlins facilities, ranging from mini golf to pub quizzes to rave karaoke.

On the bill and playing the Function One sound systems across three stages this year are Armand Van Helden, Erol Alkan, Groove Armada, Skream, Hannah Wants and Kurupt FM, as well as rising talents like Londoner Barely Legal and Mumdance.

To mark the fifth anniversary of the winter party Bugged Out has even released its own 40-track compilation of highlights exploring the festival’s history as well as the best of the current line-up.

There’s still time to get tickets before the party begins on Friday.
