Wilderness Festival Unveils ‘The Riddle’

Audi presents Wilderness Festival is calling all adventurers, dreamers, and dance enthusiasts to dive headfirst into its latest enchanting creation: The Riddle. This brand new dance music venue promises a magical journey where curiosity is not just encouraged, but richly rewarded. Prepare yourself for an experience like no other, where every visit to The Riddle unveils a new adventure waiting to be discovered.

Step into the Enigma

Nestled within the heart of Wilderness, The Riddle is the brainchild of festival insiders Will Kayll and Jemima Howden. This mysterious venue is designed to captivate with its blend of music, mystery, and inclusivity. Imagine stepping into a secret garden where every corner holds a new delight, every moment is a chance for total immersion, and surprise performances keep you on your toes. If you can find your way into this hidden paradise, a kaleidoscopic journey awaits.

An Extraordinary Lineup

The Riddle boasts a lineup that is as eclectic as it is impressive. Dance music aficionados will revel in performances by national DJ treasure Greg Wilson, Colombian sensation Julio Victoria performing with a live drummer and bass player, and the rising disco star MiNNA. Feel-good house and techno vibes will be brought by Berlin’s Arms & Legs Records head Kristin Velvet, while ABEL, DJ, songwriter, and producer, will deliver his unique soundscapes. Balearic house originator Trevor Fung and French multi-instrumentalist Dombrance (aka Bertrand Lacombe) are set to amaze, alongside many other talented artists you won’t typically find on festival bills. And that’s not all—secret sets from DJ legends will keep the surprises coming.

A Journey Born of Love

Will and Jemima’s connection to Wilderness is profound and personal. Jemima lives on the festival grounds, while Will has been a part of Wilderness since he was seventeen. Their paths crossed at the festival, leading to the creation of The Riddle—a project infused with their shared passion for Wilderness and a desire to introduce a fresh, immersive experience.

The Secret Garden Awaits

“In the heart of the fun, where madness takes flight, I invite the wild and wacky, both day and night. What lies behind you may never find, But if my stage to you reveals, wonders will unwind…”

The Riddle is not just a venue; it's an ever-changing space designed to be a secretive and immersive experience. Those who solve The Riddle will find themselves in a classic English Country Garden with a twist: a hidden dancefloor, decadent spaces, performers, and a club sound system. Future iterations promise entirely new experiences, making each visit unique. To foster genuine connections, The Riddle promotes a ‘no phones’ policy, encouraging visitors to unplug and engage face-to-face.

A Space for All Generations

Will and Jemima envision The Riddle as an inclusive, multi-generational space where people of all ages can come together. Inspired by their own bohemian parents who hosted diverse, multi-generational parties, they aim to create a space that embodies freedom and escapism.

Ready to embark on an unforgettable journey? The Riddle at Wilderness Festival awaits. Step into the secret garden, let the music move you, and uncover the magic that lies within. This is where wonders will unwind and memories will be made…
