At Docks Academy, we’ve always backed both local and wider grassroots scenes — giving space to emerging artists, established collectives, and the communities around them. The Summer Session follows that same approach.

Captivated take over the building for a landmark day rave, bringing together residents and guests from across the scene — from grassroots beginnings through to artists representing labels like FSOE, Yanada, Rated Records, Extrema Global and Nocturnal Knights.

Expect a full journey across the day, starting with laid-back daytime energy and building into a packed evening.

Captivated Residents:
Guy Johnson
Blacklisted
Robert Curtis
Dave Barnett
Gareth Davies
The Missus
Gaz Thompson

Guests:
Arctic Barbers
apexLØØP (Scott Ramsay & St John)
Colin Elson
George Pennell

A full day of uplifting, driving trance awaits — from sun‑lit afternoon energy through to peak‑time evening intensity. This is The Summer Session.
