Since debuting at the Glastonbury Festival in 2007, Trash City has become a critically acclaimed cult sensation, hailed as one of the most exciting and innovative events to hit the UK festival scene in recent years.
Created as a vision of an apocalyptic red-light district, straight from the pages of a 2000AD comic, Trash City is an interactive theatrical experience on a grand scale. It features a film-set cityscape of mind-boggling venues, including the world’s first ever travelling gay disco, a replica of the Titty-Twister vampire bar from Dusk ‘Till Dawn, a giant human pinball table, fire-breathing animatronic robots, mutant vehicle Wacky Races-style parades and the hottest names in cutting-edge music and performance.
Trash City is a genre-bending, definition-defying result of a collaboration between the very best of the UK creative underground, including original artwork by the legendary scrap-pile art collective Mutoid Waste Co., set design from the team behind the acclaimed NYC Downlow traveling Gay disco and an all-new show spectacular directed by Ruby Blues featuring some of the leading lights of the UK cabaret scene; including Jonny Woo, La Gateau Chocolat, Empress Stah, Ryan Styles and many more. PLUS white hot live music from Trash City's most outrageous bands and late-night afterparty featuring DJs from Horsemeat Disco
‘Just when you thought Glastonbury couldn’t get any stranger, wilder, or mind-bendingly entertaining, they go and turn it up to 11. This is Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome-type entertainment, interspersed with the kind of visual, aural and interactive enjoyment that busy little minds looking for kicks and thrills can only dream of’ Clash Magazine
