2025

The Bug is the principal outlet for Kevin Martin, the shape-shifting producer with an unrivalled reputation for his punishing live shows and a heavyweight catalogue of projects/collaborations including Techno Animal, King Midas Sound, Razor X Productions, and a longstanding alliance with firebrand London MC Flowdan.

For Insomnia 2025 The Bug is joined by Kingston-born Annette Henry, aka Warrior Queen. The MC is one of Martin’s most charismatic collaborators, having brought her outsized personality to classic tracks like the anthemic ‘Poison Dart’, ‘Money Honey’ and ‘Aktion Pak’, among others. She’s been spotted working alongside garage icon Sunship, Vex’d, Skream, Sam Binga and Mungo’s Hi-Fi, but Henry’s performances with The Bug are the stuff of legend.

To make sure the mainstage hits with full force, we’re adding extra subwoofers and raising the decibel limit. Expect chest-rattling bass and maximum volume. If you have sensitive ears, bring earplugs. Insomnia Festival 2025 will end with a (very loud) rumble.

⚠️ LOUD CONCERT WARNING ⚠️
