Double-sided Orange rave flyer for Hippodrome 20, advertised for Sunday morning 26 March 1995 from 4am to noon.

Catalogue note
Double-sided Orange rave flyer for Hippodrome 20, advertised for Sunday morning 26 March 1995 from 4am to noon. The front is unusually self-historicising: a central “Hippodrome 20” device is surrounded by bubbles naming Hippodrome Parts 1–10 and The Next Generation Parts 1–9, making the flyer a visual index of the promoter’s preceding sequence. The reverse presents a concentrated jungle-era line-up including Randall, Fabio, Hype, Ray Keith, Nicky Blackmarket, Kenny Ken and Stevie Hyper, alongside advance-ticket information, Orange’s head-office number and explicit crowd/security instructions. External archival evidence places Orange’s long-running Hippodrome events at the London Hippodrome in Leicester Square.
Advertised programme: Printed reverse line-up: MCMC, Brockie, Randall, Fabio, Hype, Ray Keith, Nicky Blackmarket, Kenny Ken and Stevie Hyper, with Orange H.O. contact. Some credited names remain unidentified beyond the printed wording.

Through the flyers
Explore the club-culture timeline to follow advertised dates, places and billed performers across the held flyers.
Event details are drawn from the held object and the qualified catalogue research above. A printed bill establishes an advertised booking, not confirmation that a performer appeared.
Why this object matters
Orange's numbered Hippodrome programme and visual recap of earlier events give this outstanding self-documentary value. The overnight-to-morning format and security language add useful context, but another Orange handbill's museum custody does not confer exceptional status on this sheet. Calibrate below the Sanctuary's broader venue-authored promoter history.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.
