A variety of traditional German biers will be served straight from the keg all day and night in the Bavarian Beer tent, before the acclaimed DJ takes to the stage.

He will be performing his time-travelling set through the history of music, playing hits from every decade starting in the 50s before counting forward to the present day accompanied by large screens showcasing archive concert footage and music videos.

'Edinburgh is my home away form home'

Hot Dub Time Machine (aka DJ Tom Loud) said: “Edinburgh is my home away from home, so I wanted to create something really special. Hot Dub Stein Machine is going to be an awesome day.”

Tom Ketley, head of Fly Events, which is hosting the Stein Machine party, said: “We already know how much the Scottish crowd loves Hot Dub and his time machine, so pairing him up with Gosford House and Oktoberfest to create Hot Dub Stein Machine promises to be the best party ever.”
