JBM Music & LOUDER make history with Chase & Status in Milton Keynes

Commandeering the grounds of the Milton Keynes National Bowl, an iconic open-air amphitheatre that’s played host to some of the biggest names in music over the past three decades, both brands sought to deliver a one-off headline show that would send ripples through space and time, setting a precedent for all future large-scale drum & bass events held in the UK. So, who else better to lead such an ambitious project than master production duo, Saul Milton and Will Kennard AKA Chase & Status?

With the skills and artistry of the critically acclaimed twosome confirmed, the venue secured and the stage set, the doors opened last weekend, on Saturday 10th August, to welcome a staggering 45,000 ticket holders into the venue, making the show Chase & Status’ biggest ever headline event. The night was made even more unforgettable by a surprise appearance from grime superstar Stormzy.

Jorge Meehan, Director at JBM Music and Manchester night club, Joshua Brooks, commented on the unforgettable show, saying:

“Drum & bass history was made last Saturday at the National Bowl in Milton Keynes, with 45,000 attendees witnessing Chase & Status’s biggest headline show ever to date. It’s an event that live with me forever and will be a hard one to top. That being said, plans are already underway for more huge events at the awesome venue in summer 2025—stay tuned!”
