About Us
Groovebox’s mission and vision
Established in 2018, Groovebox was born on the dancefloor, hosting intimate club events in underground venues across Nottingham. What started as a close-knit gathering for passionate revellers has evolved into one of the UK’s leading electronic music brands.
Groovebox has grown from strength to strength, delivering sell-out shows at some of the country’s most iconic venues, including its home at Binks Yard in Nottingham. Over the years, Groovebox has welcomed world-class headliners, including Patrick Topping, Obskur, Gaskin, East End Dubs, Kolter, Dennis Cruz and many more, to its stages.
The success of these events paved the way for the creation of Groovebox Festival—a 7,000-capacity multi-arena festival featuring stellar line-ups, breathtaking production, and collaborations with globally renowned brands.
In just eight years, Groovebox has hosted over 500 headline artists spanning multiple genres and firmly cemented itself as a powerhouse in the UK’s electronic music scene.
As Groovebox continues to push the boundaries of electronic music and celebrate rave culture, 2026 promises to be our biggest year yet with events such as Groovebox in The Park at Wollaton Hall where we welcome the likes of Armand Van Helden, Marsolo, Kepler & more. Stay tuned. The best is yet to come.
