What a beautiful way to wave goodbye to summer 🫡 Much love to everyone who’s made it down to one of our beach parties in the past few months. It looks like on Saturday alone we raised just shy of €2k for Palestine Red Crescent Society 🇵🇸 We’ll know the full amount from the series shortly and will share this.

There’s something special about this place… Dancing in the sand under a full moon, with the three chimneys looming in the background and the mix of nature and industry. We can’t wait to be back next summer. by @patrickforrester_

33 over and out 🫡 Feeling supremely grateful for all the beautiful experiences and people who’ve played a part in making this one of my favourite ever rotations around the sun.

Dimensions over and out for another year. In some ways reflecting feels premature, but here goes…

I’ve been coming to Dims since 2013. The experience changed the music I listened to, the friends I kept and felt like a genuine turning point in many different ways.

It’s become such a ritual in my life, a connection point and a place where I’ve had many of my most formative dancefloor experiences. Being able to help organise the festival for the past four years is a privilege and something I never take for granted.

But sometimes that repetition can make it harder to find energy and inspiration in the work. The week can be emotionally intense and leave you feeling drained.

Right now though, I feel more inspired and energised than ever. The after glow of this year feels as though it’ll last for a long time. Things flowed this year in a special, quite unexpected way. Many of the people with us this week came for the right reason, the music, and created a collective energy and respect which grew and eventually touched everyone.

Hamish, the programming this year was masterful. Ema, Vedran, Lou, Michelle, Mateja and everyone else on the team, we were a well oiled machine this year and felt so there for each other. Celebrating together at Barbs on Tuesday was beautiful and made me realise how lucky I am. Recency bias aside this was my favourite Dimensions yet and I feel very proud of what we achieved ❣️ taken in Dimensions Festival by @patrickforrester_

Poolside with four members of the beautiful crew from our Ibiza escapada. Sunday at Pikes was gorgeous as ever. Monday was a perfect party, words won’t be adequate but for those who were there thanks for such a special experience.

This Friday marks the first of three @heelsandsouls beach parties I’m organising in Barcelona this summer, all taking place at my new favourite spot in the city, @sunseabarbeachclub. These parties are free to attend with a ticket purchased via RA. We’ll receive a % of the bar profits, and after covering any costs donate this to Palestine Red Crescent Society 🇵🇸

It feels amazing to finally throw some parties here after living in Barcelona for the last two years. Particularly outside and on the beach in this special location 🏄‍♀️ Big love to everyone who’s spinning across the series - everyone who plays supports the cause and it really does mean a lot and helps us raise money for important causes.

Swipe for artwork of the full series, the first party on Friday, plus a wicked video of August 8th guest Mari.te throwing it down recently at SunSeaBar.

We kick off from 3PM on Friday - hope to see plenty of friendly faces a la playa 😘 by @patrickforrester_

Celebrating five years of these absolute legends on Saturday for the Chez Perros 14-hour takeover at Village Underground BCN 🦴 No one has welcomed Pat to BCN like these puppies and the love is real. Excited to see how this one plays out, with a very stacked lineup and a new venue to christen.

Advanced tickets on DICE - Pat’s riding solo on this one and spinning in the afternoon outside, just how we like it 😎 Vid towards the end was from a super fun Chez Perros party at Red58 last year. by @patrickforrester_

The maiden voyage of The Woods was really something special. From the adventurous journey, to arriving in the beautiful DIY space and then dancing and spinning tunes well into Sunday as the sun revealed the rolling countryside, it was a trip. There was ome mystical quality and excitement of the unknown that we’re all chasing and this weekend found.

Love to @2001__music for the vision and an extremely fun three hours sharing the decks together. And also to @hugomartinez.musik for suggesting an impromptu b2b for another few hours in the late morning. Both times we found a proper flow and still hearing so many tracks back and cracking the widest smile ❤️ by @patrickforrester_

Zanzibar and Mafia Island 🇹🇿 Start of the years don’t get much better, an adventure in every sense filled with beautiful people, places and a lot of pool.

A big thank you to @the_blonde_tracy_jones , @marlon_schader @rosa.scipion and the whole @whynot.club.zanzibar team for sharing their space with us. Something special and communal is bubbling away out in Paje 🌟

Until we meet again, freshy fresh 🕶️ by @patrickforrester_

HERE WE GO 🇭🇷 Love to @hamish__cole as ever for pulling these ridic lineups out the bag. We can’t wait to be in Tisno…

You’ll maybe know that Pat’s been working for the festival for the past couple of years, shouts to everyone behind the scenes magicking up this very special week. @_mantis.s at it again with the stunning art too.

@dimensionsfestival … Been trying to do this post for days but haven’t been able to get it right. What a special week, surrounded by love, tunes & nature which somehow, every year, becomes more than a sum of its parts, some Tisneyland alchemy which casts you under its spell and leaves you beaming post to post.

Playing a boat on Thursday, then hosting The Pier & Beach Stage on Friday was dreamy, even though this year Ben couldn’t join for the fun, as he and Jen await something even more magical. Thanks to all the artists who joined us @velvet_velour_ @jadeseatle @_brunoschmidt_ @lucyscook @harri_pepper @shyclart @strictlymalika @prosumerama @shanticeleste 💌💌💌

For Pat, this was the first full year of marketing the festival - I’m left completely in awe of the team we have. A special, selfless bunch who do so much behind the scenes to keep the wheels spinning. Special shouts to @hamish__cole and @joe__barnett for bringing me into the family, to @emabadurina for everything you do, and this year’s red hot media team who went above and beyond. There’s so many more to thank.

After coming to Dimensions since 2013, it was beautiful to contribute some ideas to the festival - both the talks and wellness programme felt at home and I’m buzzing to develop these further as we roll into 25’. @conxisane opening the festival with a blank canvas, and ending 17-hours later with a true masterpiece, was a collaboration I’ll never forget, and one we’ll build on for future years.

Looking around as @kostaxdb masterfully soundtracked the sunrise on the last night surrounded by your nearest and dearest, many who you met at the festival or through the music community we’re part of, everyone still full of energy and mischief after five days on the trot and feeding on his every twist and turn. That’s what it’s all about 👽 taken in Dimensions Festival by @patrickforrester_
