Get ready to soak up the summer as Aperol®, the iconic Italian aperitivo, announces the return of the beloved Aperol Spritz Aperidisco, this time to the iconic canal side location of Hackney Bridge. Following two hugely successful years at Battersea Power Station, the party is making its East London debut for two weeks in June, promising an unforgettable experience of music, joy, and connection.
A Headline Set with salute
Kicking off the experience on June 13th is critically acclaimed artist salute, who takes to the waterside stage with an infectious blend of house and electronic sounds. With their upbeat and vibrant tunes, salute’s style sets the tone for Aperol’s playful vibes and celebration of joy and connection. As golden hour hits the canalside, expect nothing short of pure summer magic as salute officially sets the scene for the Aperidisco.
Tickets for the opening night are free, and limited, available on a first come first serve basis, you can get your hands on them here.
