A DIGITAL STAGE FOR A UK-BASED, PROGRESSIVE MUSIC FESTIVAL

HOW WE BUILT A MODULAR, FAN-FOCUSED WEBSITE FOR RADAR FESTIVAL

RADAR Festival is one of the UK’s leading showcases for progressive music, known for bold programming and an inclusive community spirit. They needed a website that could deliver just as much energy online as the festival does in person, all while making it easy to share updates, manage event information and engage fans year-round.

boxChilli designed and developed a custom WordPress website using our SDK – a modular, update-friendly development suite built in PHP, HTML, SCSS and JavaScript. With built-in flexibility for content managers, the new site balances bold visual impact with everyday usability. making it easy to build pages, update lineups and embed social content.

Overview

BUILT FOR FESTIVAL LIFECYCLES, DESIGNED FOR FANS

The RADAR Festival team needed more than a static brochure site. They wanted a digital platform that could scale with their ambitions, support frequent updates and reflect the immersive nature of the festival. From ticketing announcements to accessibility info, the content had to be clear, adaptable and community-focused.

The site also needed to feel alive, connecting directly with RADAR’s fanbase through visual content, mobile-first UX and a live Instagram feed. Our solution: a flexible site, fully responsive across devices, that gives their team full creative control.

How boxChilli Helped

A MODERN CMS POWERED BY AN EASY-TO-USE TOOLKIT

We delivered a bespoke site built on WordPress and a custom SDK for developing fast, scalable websites. Central to this is the bespoke Toolkit, a plugin that includes the Flexi Blocks Builder and ACF software. This gives internal teams complete control over layouts and content updates, while allowing us to push future improvements across projects via the Raptor API.

The frontend theme keeps the codebase clean and performance-optimised, with all functionality handled by Toolkit. From festival maps to application info and artist pages, the SDK structure allows the site to grow year-on-year, without needing redevelopment.

By integrating a live Instagram feed, bold animations and a simplified site architecture, the platform now serves fans, partners and performers alike.
