Official boat party after party with hardcore anthems at Waterbear.
Hardcore Unlocked is taking over The WaterBear Venue on Saturday 8 August for a boat party after party. It's an afternoon session that runs from 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm, five hours of hardcore anthems played back-to-back. If you've already got a ticket for the boat party itself, you're sorted โ entry is free for ticket holders, so you can carry the day on into the evening without paying twice.
For those who aren't on the boat, tickets are available to buy separately, so you can still get in and join the party. The music is the whole point here: hardcore anthems, the kind of high-energy, fast-paced sound that defines the scene, kept going across the full five hours. It's an after party in the truest sense, designed to keep the momentum from the boat going once everyone's back on dry land.
The venue is The WaterBear Venue, over at 169-170 Kings Road Arches in Brighton. It's a well-known spot in the city, and having the party there means it's easy to get to whether you're coming straight from the harbour or heading in from elsewhere. With the session starting at 3:00 pm and running through to 8:00 pm, it's a daytime and early evening affair rather than a late-night one, which suits the after party vibe โ you get the full five hours in and still have your night ahead of you.
