Sorry we've been quiet on volunteer confirmations 🤝 We've been building something properly. This year you're not just volunteering at Slipshod. You're getting a Lanyard — your own digital pass card that follows you, festival to festival, year to year. The goal is simple: get rid of deposits. Festivals ask for deposits because they don't know if you'll show up. Lanyard fixes that. Show up at Slipshod, do the work, and you start building a reputation that proves you're reliable. Enough festivals under your belt and your deposit drops to £0 — at Slipshod and at every other festival on the network. No more £130 up front every summer. No more proving yourself from scratch. What else you get: → Your shifts, your crew, your map — all in one place → Works offline (the signal's always terrible) → Live updates and SOS button on the day → A pass card that's yours forever Your work counts. And from now on, it follows you. Wear it on your chest. Confirmations land this week. Worth the wait. 🔗 getlanyard.app

I don't normally do these kind of posts, but I think 2025 deserves one. It's without a doubt been the hardest, most emotional year of my life, and I think I can speak for the rest of @the.slipshod.experience by saying so. What started as homelessness, losing a close friend to suicide, one that shaped who Slipshod was and battling a lot of personal shit, through sheer determination we managed to start a festival, a community and a place to belong, not just for ourselves, but for all the kind souls needing a place to call home. The feedback from the scene has been hard to swallow knowing the struggles and sacrifices we've had to make to get there but my god has the juice been worth the squeeze. Amongst the chaos, i got engaged to my forever partner, learned to DJ, learned to produce, learned to actually face and not bury trauma, and despite the loss of loved ones, have been equally blessed with meeting some of the purest people I could have ever wished for. They say you're not supposed to meet your heros, but that's bollocks, you just need to choose the right ones, and I'm not just talking about the artists I've met at the festival, but the people closest to me, supporting my insane dreams, the people there helping despite all of their own battles, the people I get to call family. I could tag hundreds of people, but a special nod needs to go to these legends, not for their hard work but for their support through the hardest of times. @adampoyzer @freja_petrowe @abby_conway00 @chocolate.thunder42 I have a genuinely good feeling going into 2026, one that I've never had in the past. For everyone going through the hardest times of their life right now, remember, 'when the winds against you, don't give up the fight, that's the optimal conditions for birds to take flight' Stay strong, and let's show 2026 how to party 🥳

@alexpoyzer End the party on a high with rolling progressive trance and electrifying grooves as @alexpoyzer delivers a soundscape of rising tension, flowing melodies, and hypnotic drive. 👾 As the founder of @the.slipshod.experience , PoyzRus is definitely no stranger to a party, you don’t want to miss this 🔥 #nottingham #trance #notts

Bloody loved the @amen4teknorecords takeover @darthleng @tmenace_a4t @the.slipshod.experience 🎥@adampoyzer

What a bloody weekend. @adampoyzer and I didn't start Slipshod because we like to party, we started Slipshod to create a community, a space where people can be themselves, find themselves, start relationships, new hobbies, new obsessions. Slipshod has bought us together as brothers, given us something truly special to be proud of. A creative playground for new and old friends to come together, united by respect and love for eachother. Yes, it was a fucking good party, but there's plenty of them around the UK already. We didn't grow up on the freeparty scene, we stumbled upon it, in the most unlikely way. We immersed ourselves in a world we never thought we belonged. In 5 years, we went from not knowing a single artist, had no idea where to find the next freeparty, to creating this magical portal to the underground, not to make it mainstream, but to make it safe and accessable for all ages, for people like ourselves who would have once looked down on such a weird world, to change perceptions nurture the immense creativity and community that sits below the surface. It's easy to be manipulated by the news headlines, or have a very real concern for substance abuse within the rave and music industry but @the.slipshod.experience was proof this isn't why the scene exists. It's about music bringing people together in a progressive heartbreaking world. Slipshod isn't about profit, we want to be transparent, here is our 2025 income/outcome so you can see the costs of the festival. We've still got a few grand to pay out, but considering we aren't business people, we got bloody close to nailing our break even target! It was only down to getting in a few last min extras to make it a comfortable experience for everyone that we ran slightly over. Theres too many people to tag here, but big the fuck up to everyone that put in their all to make this the best weekend of our lives. Friends, family, people we'd never met, people we looked up to, the list goes on. You're all heros in our eyes. It's been the hardest year of our lives, but the most rewarding and we can't wait to see you in a field next year...The show must (and will) go on!!
