From the dance floors of Ibiza to the main stages of Creamfields and Parklife, Hannah Laing has become a name that dominates the UK dance scene – and now, she’s bringing the party home.

A born-and-bred Dundonian, Hannah’s musical journey began in the rave scene, inspired by her rave loving parents – and her own love for euphoric beats and pounding basslines.

Over the past few years, she’s carved out her place as a powerhouse DJ and producer, known for her electrifying sets and boundary-breaking sound.

With support from BBC Radio 1, headline slots across Europe, and her iconic “doof” brand taking the industry by storm, Hannah is more than a performer – she’s a movement.

And Doof in the Park 2025 is her biggest moment yet: a personally curated, hometown blowout featuring global icons, underground heavyweights, and rising stars.
