    Founder Oli Ibrahim said: “Hidden City is very much a project for Milton Keynes by Milton Keynes, and we are on a mission to make MK the cultural capital of the region.

    "We believe that Milton Keynes and its boundless growth deserves an equally exciting calendar of events and we're committed to finding and transforming hidden gems in the city into unforgettable event experiences. We plan to bring incredible talent and production into the heart of the city centre and significantly add to the existing arts and culture offering within the city.

    “We've been working closely with Milton Keynes City Council to bring this to fruition, and they have been incredibly supportive of the project.”

    The company's events aim to use local suppliers wherever possible, collaborate with local business, create local employment and significantly add to event tourism revenue.

    Event One has brought the likes of artists such as Camelphat, Patrick Topping, Chase and Status, Andy C, Sub Focus, and more to the city previously, and its founder is involved in curating the move of Reggaeland from Campbell Park to the National Bowl, in association with Stadium MK this year.

    The first event is set to take place this summer, at a location not yet disclosed and is to feature street food, street art, electronic and live music. With a further follow up, and the most exciting space, unveiled for an event later this year.

    The first show announcements are expected to go on sale Friday (March 31). Those interested can sign up for the latest event information or follow the company’s social pages.
