After first partnering with Suede in August through our Your Space Or Mine initiative – where her series, Everyday People, appeared on billboards across the UK, this exhibition marked a powerful next step in her creative journey.

Using our space, The CarWash in Shoreditch, as her blank canvas, Suede transformed the adjoining Platform and building’s exterior into a riotous expression of colour, chaos, and charisma. Inside, the space was reimagined as an immersive gallery space, spotlighting the city’s next-gen creatives through her high-fashion lens. Complete with a DJ and bar, floor-to-ceiling vinyl wraps covered the rear of the room, fully transporting visitors into Suede’s technicolour world.

Amongst the fifteen portraits showcased, there was stylist Valeria Chrampani; painter and actor Adébayo Bolaji, chef Abby Lee who runs Mambow in Clapton and UKG original and MC Bushkin of Heartless Crew.

The exhibition was Suede’s tribute to the artistic community that helped shape her career – an opportunity to give back by using her platform to elevate emerging talent while seamlessly blending art, music, and cultural style into her own bold and unmistakable aesthetic.

The weekend’s live music was headlined by Bryan Adams on Saturday and Def Leppard on Sunday – both delivering powerhouse sets full of classic anthems. The line-up also featured standout performances from Jessie J, Stereophonics, Anastacia, Suede, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and more, blending pop, rock, and soul across generations. We’re so pleased to be along for the ride, papering and pasting walls in technicolour to bring the event’s branding to life and to provide the backdrops to memories that’ll be around for years to come. With the sun setting behind the main stage and thousands singing along to songs they’ve loved for years, Radio 2 in the Park 2025 proved once again why it’s one of the UK’s most beloved music events.

As the festival season began to wind down, the energy did not. With a riot of a headliners including Chappell Roan, Amyl and the Sniffers, Travis Scott, Hozier and Bring Me the Horizon, heads were banging, and feet were stomping. And with an unrivalled atmosphere, BUILDHOLLYWOOD couldn’t resist returning to sacred festival ground, showing up in full force, with paper and paste in hand.

Decorating the festival walls, DIABOLICAL partnered with CMS Music Media to shout some noise about Wolf Alice and The Kooks’ upcoming tours, keeping the dance going strong. JACK brought the spook factor to the fields with Dentsu, promoting Netflix’s second instalment of hit series, ‘Wednesday’, with a selection of witty posters that contrasted her macabre personality with the screaming crowds before her.

JACK ARTS flew the flag for home turf with a series of Northern-centric activations plastered across the Leeds event with artwork for Leeds City College and The Warehouse Project’s upcoming set lists.

Amid the energy of floats, dancers, and live performances, BUILDHOLLYWOOD was on the ground, amplifying the spirit of Carnival. JACK brought a standout collaboration with Kinetic Worldwide placing MAGNUM at the heart of the celebration, a drink perfectly aligned with the bold energy of Carnival. JACK also brought Adidas Superstars into the spotlight with a star-studded cast, capturing attention on every corner.

JACK ARTS, in partnership with Altair Media, added a new dimension by bringing The Royal Academy into the mix. Their presentation of Kerry James Marshall: The Histories introduced fine art into the Carnival conversation, bridging contemporary creativity with Caribbean influence.

Meanwhile, DIABOLICAL and Spotify took Carnival beyond the streets for the second year running. Their curated playlist to help fans relive the weekend’s vibe, while a collaboration with CMS Music Media Ltd brought the global sounds of Major Lazer into the fold.

Set against a charming woodland, tucked away in Suffolk’s green pastures, thousands gathered to revel in a wild fusion of music, comedy, performance and creativity. The joy peaked as the Lionesses sealed victory in the Women’s World Cup final, capping off an unforgettable weekend for all.

With its diverse and family-friendly crowd, the event set the perfect stage for a variety of high-impact campaigns. BUILDHOLLYWOOD partnered with Live Nation to bring household names Boots, Smirnoff, Captain Morgan, Johnnie Walker, Klarna and Notion to booths across the field, providing pops of colour bright enough to rival Latitude’s infamous pink sheep.

JACK opted for a spookier route with posters for Netflix’s hit show Wednesday and their tongue-in-cheek ‘live, laugh, loathe’ artwork. JACK ARTS rode the cultural wave with the RA’s summery hues, while DIABOLICAL rolled out bold takeovers for HAIM’s ‘I Quit’ tour, set to hit the UK later this year.

Joining him was Party Next Door, Burna Boy, Vybz Kartel, Summer Walker, BBK and Izzy Bossy, whose blistering sets cemented Wireless as a global powerhouse in live rap and hip-hop. 

As ever, BUILDHOLLYWOOD was there to help paint the town in campaign colour, collaborating with iconic clients to create high-impact backdrops before a single note was even played. DIABOLICAL rolled out show-stopping takeovers for Drake and 4-sheets for rising star Coco Jones. JACK flexed on the film and fashion front with 4, 16 and 48-sheet posters for Bad Guys 2 and Swatch and JACK ARTS brought cultural weight with Royal Academy artworks across large-scale 48-sheets and intimate 4- and 16-sheet formats.

Kicking off this year’s headline shows, Irish post-punk band Fontaines D.C arrived at Finsbury Park in London. Joined by an explosive lineup including Australian rockers Amyl and the Sniffers, Belfast hip hop trio Kneecap, along with Blondshell, Been Stellar, and Cardinals.

This year, DIABOLICAL took over the field by filling the festival walls. Teaming up with Live Nation, they brought the headliners Fontaines D.C, as well as Slayer to the scene. From punk-fuelled chaos and anarchic energy to euphoric dance beats and devoted pop fans, the atmosphere at Finsbury Park was nothing but electric. And we couldn’t be more thrilled to be part of the journey.

The previously derelict billboards have been taken over, the urban debris cleared, replaced with carved stone installations by Paul Roddan, including a sculpture plinth that houses a rotating series of commissioned works from local artists as part of BUILDHOLLYWOOD’s Your Space Or Mine initiative, and now the first wave of biodiverse planting has begun.

BUILDHOLLYWOOD had exclusive on-site access to Parklife and made its mark by postering the festival perimeter. JACK, in partnership with Pinpoint brought the spotlight to Bed Head in a bold and creative campaign. Manchester’s iconic event space, The Warehouse Project, featured prominently across our 48-sheet formats at the festival, thanks to JACK ARTS who also showcased Factory International’s Manchester International Festival (MIF) throughout the weekend. At the same time, DIABOLICAL teamed up with Live Nation and SJM to bring some of the freshest and most beloved artists to the Parklife.

The installation features a digital face display surrounded by intricate 3D elements crafted by our Creative Studio’s team. These elements include a layered torso with clothing peeled back to reveal a moving heart and oversized headphones connecting the digital and physical billboards with a glowing wire. Movement plays a central role, with artist Joseph Melhuish explaining that, unlike past concepts where motion felt forced, the animatronic heart in this piece naturally fit the idea from the start.

Download is more than just a festival, it’s a gathering of true music devotees. A pilgrimage where rock and metal fans unite in a way that sets it apart from any other event on the calendar.

Partnering with Live Nation, we helped bring a diverse lineup of artists to the stage, including Metallica, Architects, and Neck Deep.

Download is a festival for the heads. It is a place where fans pilgrimage to worship together, in such a way that you won’t see at any other festival. DIABOLICAL tapped into this energy to promote some of the biggest and on-the-rise artists from within the sphere; including Pearl Jam, Patera, Myles Kennedy, and others.

Set within the city’s oldest park, Glasgow Green, located on the banks of the River Clyde, the festival delivered a dreamy pop/rock line up including Calvin Harris, Sugababes, Liam Gallagher and Rick Astley – alongside a surprise appearance by hometown icons Travis, before the band hosted their own pop-up gig in front of our Barrowlands billboard promoting their tenth album.

We teamed up with powerhouses DF Concerts and Events who gave us exclusive access to the festival walls during the 3-day music festival – we promoted their line-up and wider music programming on our poster sites across the park, alongside eye-catching campaigns from the likes of Specsavers and headline supporters Rockstar energy drinks, providing the backdrop to the good times.

See you back in the park for 2025, Wireless.

Manchester’s most talked about sandwich shops, Fat Pat’s, made a subtle appearance at the festival thanks to JACK ARTS and (alongside the bass) definitely caused some stomachs to rumble. DIABOLICAL collaborated with RCA Records on Kaytranada’s Timeless album, as well as a campaign for Boiler Room Manchester, cementing the city’s status as an enclave to rave.

This spring, led by illustrator and artist Tommy Brentnall, The Hundred Club approached us to create a ‘Billboard in a Day’, inviting its members to work with typography, graphics, writing and drawing to produce a huge billboard design to reflect on the issues they care about the most – from war to housing, climate change to racism. After some careful planning and mini-modelling, the club’s young members created a splash on the streets of Woolwich, showcasing their powerful messages on a giant scale, giving passers-by some food for thought.

Collaborating with Fraser Muggeridge studio, we brought Commercial Type’s Commercial Classics campaign to our London poster sites in 2020. Now, to coincide with a lecture tour by the type foundry’s co-founder Paul Barnes, we’ve partnered with Fraser Muggeridge again to launch a ‘meta’ campaign on the streets of Glasgow, Dundee and Edinburgh, using graphic imagery from their 2020 campaign to spotlight posters… on posters.

We recently returned to Walthamstow for year-two of this project, and to no surprise were impressed yet again by the calibre of work created by the third-year art and design students. As a testament to our ongoing work with established and emergent creatives, we yet again reprinted and displayed them both singly and in compendium, throughout London, as a celebration on the streets of all the student’s efforts and imagination.

The artworks formed an interactive art trail installed at 5 locations at Bernie Grant Arts Centre, providing a visual exploration of the area’s past, present and future at one of the borough’s more important cultural venues. The artworks are paired with audio-tapestries which bring the voices of the community to the heart of the project; a multi-sensory display aimed at engaging the passing public and celebrating an influential close-knit community.

The project aimed to change the perception of young people and encourage self-expression and sharing of skills in a creative setting. Changing the Narrative is a creative collaboration between Hackney based youth group Rise.365 and multi-disciplinary artist Hannah Dickins (aka Disco Dickins). The project saw young people partake in a series of creative workshops with Hannah where they developed meaningful artworks aimed to unify the community. The artworks were inspired by creative writing, typography and lettering, with additional vibrant discussions with Lola Oh (Writer and poet) in which the young people explored themes of family, heritage and purpose. The workshops provided the young people space and encouragement to turn their discussions and ideas into pieces of art in a professional setting.

 Its new concept, STORE STORE, is a shop and educational space that offers a weekly After School Club allowing young people to discover and develop their creative potential. They also showcase the projects and innovations by their students, with all proceeds flowing back into the education programme. We supported STORE by partnering up to showcase their new offering in Brixton, Hackney, Battersea, Portobello Road and beyond, with playful pastel street posters that caught the eyes of passers-by.

Working with thirty students from three selected educational zones in the borough of Hackney – William Patten Primary School, Stoke Newington School, and Shakespeare Walk Adventure Playground – the project saw young people develop ideas and designs that would be shared far and wide through large-scale billboard displays.

Through a series of creative after school sessions, the groups worked on deciding their themes, designs, and colour schemes, with each participant bringing a unique voice and identity to the project. The talent of the young people was evident from the start, with detailed sketches, humorous caricatures, and large-scale graffiti pieces coming out of the first session alone, ideas being formed and focused with advice from working artists and professionals throughout.

The final outcome was three collaborative artworks that explored what creativity meant to the groups, and the designs were displayed on large-scale billboards across Hackney for the community to enjoy. Supported by Hackney Council and developed with Queen Mary University, the project has been used to contribute towards research into the impact of creativity and play in educational settings, and also featured in a new documentary developed by Queen Mary University film students.

The bespoke artwork highlights the wealth of plants and wildlife to be discovered along the route of The Line and in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, and the blooming display was installed to mark the 10th anniversary of the London 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympic Games.

To engage passers-by and park visitors, The Living Line features QR codes at the beginning and end panels. Linking to downloadable wildlife information packs and recorded audio of local schoolchildren, it helps to describe the pied wagtails, buddleia, and brown carder bees found within the illustrations, and in the green areas surrounding them.

For us, we started out with a trip to the roving BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend, then hoofed it to London’s wild, free and pop-filled celebration of LGBTQ+ identities at Mighty Hoopla. We got our metal fix at Download and matched it with a dose of electronic-driven energy from Manchester’s Parklife – each event as invigorating as the last, but with a wholly incomparable vibe.

From the punk and anarchic, to the pop devotees and dance music heads, the joy and euphoria has been palpable in every park and field we’ve set foot (and poster) in. We’re so pleased to be along for the ride, papering and pasting walls in technicolour to provide the backdrops to memories that’ll be around for years more. So – here’s to a hope for more fun in the sun, and all the rest that’s left to come.

Curator Nicole Tatschl and creative director Kamila Szymkiewicz collaborated with artists, local students, and residents to create a programme that felt both representative and fruitful. Conversations among participants and their shared ideas worked alongside free augmented reality workshops – because it’s a medium that ‘allows for seeing things differently… to re-imagine, to recreate, to reinterpret’ – to produce AR artworks that reflected their concerns and covered a spectrum of issues from war to social housing.

Reimagine Newham culminated in a public exhibition at Royal Victoria Docks, making it Newham’s very first public AR exhibition. We worked alongside them to showcase it across the way in West London, with the 12 participants’ artworks featured on street posters for passers-by to scan and experience. As the borough with the lowest cultural investment in London, the Newham project was a wonderful way to cultivate connections and expand artistic engagement – showcasing art away from typical, sometimes intimidating gallery settings, and placing it right within London’s communities.

The project was created as an alternative response to the rise in the number of young people being adversely impacted by violence, which has been met by reactionary measures from the national government. Tougher criminalisation of youth, increased stop and searches, and greater police presence in majority communities has seemed to hinder – not help – the issue.

Kay was instead inspired to consider the subject of increasing violence through the lens of public health – which required looking into the mental health provisions for the demographic in question – or as it became apparent, the lack thereof.

Kay’s research took him to countries with world-beating measures of happiness, including Denmark, Bhutan and Sweden. While travelling, he uncovered eight factors deemed responsible for the ratings – which were used to form the basis of subsequent workshops for 13-year-old boys back in London. Involving poetry, discussion-based art sessions and photography, the sessions sought to develop the boys’ ways of expression, encouraging them to explore their sense of identity, and find new ways to manage their own happiness.

Now, Kay has worked with over 300 Black boys from ten London boroughs. The projects have been used to create exhibitions across the city – including Hackney Council’s, which is presenting 17 portraits of its own S.M.I.L.E-ing Boys.

We’ve worked with Hackney Council to help display the portraits in public spaces across Hackney – including on a trio of our sites on street-sides in the borough – alongside an exhibition at Hackney Bridge, bringing important sentiments about happiness and community-focused solutions to the fore.

This year, we took to All Points East, Field Day, TRNSMT, Latitude, Download, Parklife, Reading & Leeds and Wireless to provide the all-important vibrant, colourful and creative backdrops to festivalgoers’ days and memories thereafter, transforming the structures of each site into bespoke poster installations. For us, this meant showcasing mega-campaigns for Netflix’s Sex Education, TikTok, The Warehouse Project, Little Simz, Sky TV’s Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Wolf Alice and many, many more.
