Hijacked Festival 2015 | Exeter takes an adventure into electronic music’s rich history in the grounds of the city’s beautiful Powderham Castle, with artist displays and even a hot air balloon.

The picturesque grounds of Powderham Castle, the 600-year old home of the Earl and Countess of Devon, which stands in a beautiful deer park on the banks of the Exe estuary, plays host to the city’s second visit from Hijacked Festival – the nomadic electronic music and creativity-embracing experience that ‘hijacks’ idyllic city locations. Enjoy a bird's eye view of Powderham Castle and the estuary, as well as thousands of partygoers from the lofty heights of a hot air balloon.

Unique techno-tinged talent Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs plays a DJ set, pioneering producer Artwork appears, jungle forefather Congo Natty appears, plus critically acclaimed bass explorationists Dark Sky and nu-deep house party people Disciples join the party, and Bass-house duo Mak & Pasteman bring it, as Exeter one-day music and culture event heads to the picturesque grounds of Powderham Castle on Saturday May 30th. 

Multi-talented MC, DJ and producer Chunky heads, Jabru promises to smash the ‘floor, and electronic selectors Eli & Fur take a dark turn. House creative Last Magpie offers a genre-bashing set, MermaidS, and jungle invigorators Nanci and Phoebe keep it jumping.

Plus look out for Benedict Jackson, Thick As Thieves faces Budos and Xhosah, Hold It Down resident Harry Parsons, Duplex Sound and Surplus, Harry Parsons, Item, Marek Skibinski and more…

Presenting an intimate daytime party in a picturesque inner-city location where electronic music takes the focus – a hijack – the first Hijacked Festival event was a triumph, selling out, and 2015 is set to be even bigger.
