A Year of Beats, Brands, and Big Moments
This year was one for the books at The Bug Club DJ Vans. We rolled into city centres, iconic landmarks, riversides and race routes with one simple mission: bring the vibes, lift the energy, and help brands create moments people genuinely remember.
Yes, our vans are powered by clever battery tech, provided by the amazing Wattsun and Martin Audio. The Wattsun battery packs paired with Martin Audio PA, keep our vans running sustainably and reliably, letting us focus on what really matters: smiles, movement, noise (the good kind), and shared joy. From mass-participation runs to once-in-a-lifetime album launches, here’s a round-up of a year spent turning up the fun.
The Great Run Series – Feel-Good Energy, Nationwide
The Great Run events were the perfect stage for our DJ Vans. Parked up at finish lines and key moments along the route, we brought high-energy soundtracks that helped carry runners through their final strides and into celebration mode.
The vans became part of the experience, a joyful reward after months of training. The result? Arms in the air, phones out, and runners dancing long to boost them to the finish line.
We were so excited to be a part of the Great Run events across the country and hope to motivate the runners year after year.
London Marathon – Lucozade Turning Miles into Moments
At the London Marathon, we teamed up with Wasserman’s with a branded Lucozade DJ Van to help fuel one of the biggest sporting days in the world.
Our DJ van brand activation delivered a non-stop atmosphere along the route, boosting runners when they needed it most and giving spectators a reason to stop, smile, and soak it all in. It was pure marathon magic: music, movement, and a brand perfectly placed at the heart of the emotion. All powered by Wattsun battery packs for the full marathon day, making it the perfect off-grid solution.
GroceryAid – From Dragon Boats to Clay Pigeons.
At the Dragon Boat Race, our DJ Vans brought big tunes to the waterside, turning competition into a festival-feel celebration. Teams, supporters and volunteers all fed off the energy, making it as much about the atmosphere as the race itself.
At the Clay Pigeon Shoot, great music, relaxed energy, and a soundtrack that helped bring people together for a brilliant cause.
Echelon x Macmillan – Motivation with Meaning
The Echelon x Macmillan charity golf day was all about bringing people together for a brilliant cause, with great company, friendly competition, and a seriously good atmosphere.
Our DJ Van helped set the tone from the first arrival to the final celebrations, providing a soundtrack that kept spirits high throughout the day. From relaxed beats on the course to upbeat tunes as players wrapped up their rounds, the music added an extra layer of enjoyment and connection. And while the tunes were pumping, the drinks were flowing too – with our DJ Van doubling up as a bar, keeping golfers refreshed and hydrated as they passed.
NHS Nurses’ Party – Brighton
One of the most special bookings of the year was a party for NHS nurses in Brighton.
This was about letting loose, turning the volume up, and creating a proper celebration for people who deserve it more than most. The DJ Van became the centre of the party – dancing, laughter, hands-in-the-air moments.
Jade Album Launch – Angel of the North
We rounded off the year with something truly unforgettable: the Jade album launch at the Angel of the North.
Set against one of the UK’s most iconic landmarks, our Supersized DJ Van helped create a moment that felt bold, joyful, and unmistakably special. Music, place, and people coming together – exactly what we’re all about.
More Than Vans. More Than Music.
This year reminded us why we do what we do. Our DJ Vans aren’t just vehicles or sound systems – they’re atmosphere machines. They help brands show up with energy, warmth and personality, and they turn events into shared experiences people talk about long after the music fades. We’ve powered many more events this year that we haven’t named here, each bringing its own joy, music, and memorable moments.
And behind every one of these moments is a shared commitment to doing events better. All of our DJ Vans are powered by Wattsun battery packs, not generators – helping brands create unforgettable experiences while cutting noise, emissions, and environmental impact. It means more joy for the crowd, less impact on the planet, and a genuinely sustainable event solution that doesn’t compromise on atmosphere.
We’re buzzing for what’s next.
Same joy. Bigger moments.
