We provided the forward facing sounds throughout the day, as the demonstration passed route through London, finishing on a packed Trafalgar Square.

Northern Grip

Northern Grip is a great family cycling festival that promotes the social side of biking, with a chilled party atmosphere and spectacular riding the Lee & Cragg quarry loops in the hills of Bacup, Lancashire.

Noisily Festival

This is our second year at Noisily Festival - a little known, but excellent alternative underground electronic music festival for the mind body and soul.

We were booked to play a four-hour Thursday night slot in a clearing in the woods before the main stages opened on the Friday. With an up for it, open minded crowd we traversed through musical genres including disco, house, techno, drum and bass and some old school rave, before slowing things down to finish with some hands in the air, sing along classics. Even a spot of rain in the evening didn’t dampen the occasion.

Peoples Vote March London

We were asked by Gideön and Love Music Hate Racism to join them on the Revolution Day 2 protest, hitting the streets of London with our bicycle sound system for the Peoples Vote march.

Party Trike performed for eight hours, powered by our onboard batteries and generator to keep the music going. The march followed a route through central London, so we performed music on the move as well as dropping the feet and stopping at key spots. The event ran smoothly with DJs such as Artwork (BBC Radio 1), Horse Meat Disco and Gideön gracing the decks and entertaining the crowd of over 700,000 people.

The Cycle Show

The Cycle Show is UK's largest cycling showcase, where the world's best cycle brands present their newest bikes, kit, clothing and accessories at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre.

The event organisers booked us to perform at their Thursday night trade day after-party and to provide the music at the outdoor mountain bike track on the Friday.

Party Trike, the UK’s leading bicycle sound system played a mixed two and a half hour set at the busy bar area on the Thursday evening which included soul, hip-hop, funk, pop, disco and house classics. We returned on the Friday to play a seven hour set, this started slowly but built in tempo and created the perfect atmosphere for riders thrashing round the track trying bikes out.

“Our exhibitors spoke very highly of Party Trike and thought it was a great addition to the show. The atmosphere at the Exhibitor After Party and outside in the Mountain Bike Bunker was great! I would highly recommend Party Trike and we’d love to welcome them back to the Cycle Show in 2019.”

Noisily Festival

Noisily Festival of Music and Arts is a real hidden gem, an underground dance music festival that is brimming with compassion, generosity and intrigue as 4,500 optimists party hard together in the woods, deep in the rolling valleys of rural Leicestershire.

We were commissioned to provide the usual Party Trike revelry on Friday and Saturday nights. Based in a clearing in the woods between the Mind, Body and Soul area and the main stages, we played an upbeat set that had the dedicated crowd beaming, whooping and stomping the night away.

Noisily takes production to the next level, all their stages feature powerful Funktion One sound systems, amazing arena designs and high quality AV, light and laser shows. The festival has loads of different things going on, so we were pleased to be able to woo a band of enthusiastic party people to see our bicycle sound system.

GT Bicycles Malverns Classic

We were booked to join the biggest party in British mountain biking, the GT Bicycles Malverns Classic, as it returned to Eastnor Deer Park after a 20 year break.

Located at the legendary 'Bomb Hole' jump on the quad eliminator downhill course, we brought our uprated sound system and played a daytime set which included reggae, soul, old school hip hop, disco and house.

Due to a couple of schedule delays, we ended up playing for 6 hours while spectators watched the racing and then chilled on the grass enjoying the music between races. We even had the medical staff dancing!
 

"We booked Party Trike for the 2018 GT Bicycles Malverns Classic. The lads played a great mixed set for several hours and entertained the crowd that was watching the racing. Party Trike helped create a destination on the hill and the comments we’ve had from all that attended was 100% positive."

Camper Calling

We were booked to bring Party Trike to Camper Calling, a brilliant family friendly festival set in the beautiful grounds of Ragley Hall in Warwickshire, 25 miles south of Birmingham.

Over the weekend we popped-up at various points around the site, riding the Party Trike from one area to the next and providing our usual mix of tunes to get the crowd moving and grooving. From a chilled out late afternoon set, while people lazed around enjoying the music in the sun. To closing out the festival with an after-hours, hands in the air party. 

We worked with the event organisers to choose the the best positions to site the Party Trike and branded the bike with Camper Calling graphics using the bikes onboard light-box.
 

"Party Trike joined us at Camper Calling 2017 and were a great addition to our entertainment line up. Communication from the start of booking was fast and easy with both Mark and Mike, making the process very simple. Party Trike exceeded all of our expectations, it looks and sounds great and was able to move around the festival easily, creating pop up discos in various areas of the show! There was no hesitation in playing for longer than agreed, coming back later on in the evening to carry on the party which went down extremely well with festival goers who still wanted to dance! The lights look fantastic when the sun has set and if it weren't for noise restrictions I'm sure they would of carried on playing all night! We would definitely recommend Party Trike for an event, so much that we are already enquiring about 2018 as we would love to have them back! Huge thanks for joining us and providing little pockets of entertainment at the show."

A wedding in a barn

We were asked to provide the Party Trike vibe at a wedding in North Wales. The wedding reception took place in a barn, which didn't have electricity, so our unique bicycle sound system provided all the music and lights via its built in battery power for four hours until the last guests dropped. This was one of our early bookings and we've since overhauled and improved the design of the Party Trike.
