crasherevents Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Saturday 24th – Sunday 25th May, 2008 / Turweston Aerodrome, Northamptonshire Festival Fever Mounts as Gatecrasher Mark 20 Years Of Acid House With Electronic Heroes Past and Present ***FULL LINE UP ANNOUNCED*** NEW ACTS: JUSTICE / PAUL OAKENFOLD / PENDULUM / ARMAND VAN HELDEN / ANNIE MAC / BLACK GHOSTS / SINDEN & HERVE / LUCIANO / MEAT KATIE / DIGITALISM plus many more… PLUS HEADLINES SETS FROM THE PRODIGY / THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS / CSS / DIZZEE RASCAL / SOULWAX NITE VERSIONS / SIMIAN MOBILE DISCO TICKETS NOW ON SALE FROM www.summersoundsystem.com Not content with securing two of dance music’s most heralded live acts in THE PRODIGY and THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS, Gatecrasher have just announced the full details of their May Bank Holiday Weekender; and it truly is one of the most colourful celebrations of contemporary and retrospective dance music the UK has ever seen. Falling in the year that sees acid house turn 20, Gatecrasher has lined up a weekend of non-stop celebration, combining the architects of dance music with the current crop of scene-setters. Keeping Anglo-French relations at their very best, the Grammy award nominated JUSTICE, whose ubiquitous mix of Simian’s ‘Never Be Alone’ dominated dance-floors throughout the world, will be setting the stage alight with their dirty, driven, blend of rocking electro house. The malicious mix maestros are currently on a world tour with their bedazzling Christian light show and punk/dance ethic, which could turn any house atheist into a convert. The line up continues with heavyweight artists a plenty. Heading back across the pond will be the mighty PAUL OAKENFOLD who will be delivering a riotous set of tried and tested anthems for the expectant crowds. With numerous chart hits and worldwide acclaim, Oakey has shaped mixes for the likes of Snoop Dog to U2 to The Happy Mondays and is now making a homecoming trip to an audience that has grown up, danced and educated themselves together with his meteoric rise to DJ infamy. Antipodean noiseniks PENDULUM look to maintain their grip on world domination with the visceral juggernaut that is their incredible live show. Delivering earth shattering beats and buzz-saw bass, the five-piece drum and bass outfit have been destroying audiences across the world for the past two years, making them one of the Summer Sound System’s must-see acts. Back on the deck-bound tip ARMAND VAN HELDEN will also be making a transatlantic trip to thump out his notorious blend of big beat, house and hip-hop, plucking some rare treats from his legendary record box. Shaping up to be yet another definitive moment in music, 2008’s Summer Sound System is leading the way for UK dance events and recruiting the cream of the current crop for this spectacular show. With UK club culture’s finest exponents including Annie Mac, Black Ghosts, Sinden & Herve, Luciano, Meat Katie and many many more, all ready to drop the musical equivalent of Valhalla, the scene is set for exceptional adventure in music across 2 days in May. To contain theses hordes of wild dance and electro beasts, Gatecrasher has meticulously crafted 20 unique, individual stages to cater for each divine variety of dance music and all manner of festival goers, ranging from the main stream of the main stage to the classic Crasher arena that will feature a host of legends including Paul Van Dyk, John 00 Fleming, Mauro Piccoto and Hernan Cattaneo. There will also be the Hard House communion of Storm, the filthy grooves of the Cement arena, the illuminating Hardcore Heaven, the glitterball vibes of Dirty Disco and the essential 20 Years Of Acid House arena, which boasts a line-up that is a veritable who’s who of dance music legends. Industrious promoters and music moguls such as Northern Techo Monkeys DIRTY DISCO, ZANE LOWE and TIGA will also be hosting their own arenas whilst Metropolis and One Nation take charge of the urban flavours. The super cool Ed Banger label will be bringing a mêlée of French tech wizardry to the show with old favourites Hed Kandi and Fantazia returning for late night mayhem. VIPs can also look forward to the nostalgic sounds of Sean Rowley’s Guilty Pleasures… Music aside, Summer Sound System will be upping the ante promising an unforgettable spectacle. Introducing Boutique Camping, to give proceedings the authentic festival feel missing from so many other dance events, a 24-hour market place, with gourmet food stalls and out of town shopping, plus an onsite diary room, supersonic fairground and an incredible feast of additional adventures. Facilities will be second to none with secure onsite lockers, plentiful cash machines, Ibiza angels to massage away your aching limbs and even karaoke for the wannabe starlets. With a nod to the past and a foot in the future this will be the ultimate event for the discerning clubber and all round music lover. As the first major festival of the year it’s the perfect date to kick start your summer. A cast that crosses indie, dance and urban this is set to mark a new chapter for Gatecrasher and set the stage for their greatest ever show.

bigsteve Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 At first, that flyer looks pretty rubbish - its only when you read the full list of DJs that its worth it. Hopefully we'll have much better weather this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadrant Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Guilty Pleasures is your chance to ‘fess up. We all have our secret indulgences that fill us with joy and shame in equal measure Fantastic! For me, I expect to be provided with my own four-poster bedroom in a castle (with a newly-filled moat), which will be filled with 16 beautiful maidens to await me, plus an array of swords and traditional medieval torture instruments (for decorative purposes only). That would be the start of my guilty pleasures. and this arena will celebrate them I would be overjoyed for people to celebrate this with me.

Chrissie Brown Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 No Jules or Halliwell? That's what l was thinking too. It's a hugh line -up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberduck Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 It's a hugh line -up. Personally I think the dance festivals are going to die a death like they did a few years ago if they start trying to get too big for their boots. I only think they're getting so big becuase of the rise of this rubbish commercial dance music featured on albums like 'Clubland Extreme'. The people you see at festivals are made up largely of the sort of people you don't normally see in clubs, including out and out chavs. You can tell when you walk round festivals as they're full of wan*ers in Reebok classics blowing big horns all day. Ireckon Global Gathering has been the one to revive this. Escape into the Park is a successful festival but it's not an all nighter so hasn't jumped on the bandwagon of running for a full weekend. Once lots of events like this spring up there won't be enough clubbers to go to them as they'll probably have already been to Global or vice versa. I haven't been to a festival since Global 2005 and I have to say that I'm not that bothered. I just don't like the people that go to them really. In reference to this years GCSS, do you think it's possible that they asked Jules & Eddie to play on the Sunday but Judgement Sundays clashed with it? I think it's very odd not to see Jules on a Crasher lineup of this size otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissie Brown Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Think you could be right as it does seem odd that they aren't playing at GCSS as both Tongy and Dave Pearce are listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuro Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I think quite a few events have clashed with Jules' diary this year and this is the reason he is not playing. However, this could be a blessing in disguise as it will give other people a run at a big event whilst Jules is (hopefully) re-stocking his CD case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakey Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Got my ticket for the Sunday! Woo. Can't do the whole weekend as DJing on the Sat and can't pull out. Looking forward to it, roll on May and end of exams! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spin Doctor Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 After some consideration I think I'm going to head to this. A few names on the lineup which I haven't seen in some time, plus I missed out on any festivals last year. Would be good to get a contingent from here out there.

Chrissie Brown Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 l have to work on the Saturday so was thinking of going on Sunday. However prefer Saturdays line up to Sundays so will probably give it a miss. Sadly its been a few years since l've been to a dance festival due to work and l was hoping to go to one ot two this year but don't think its going to happen.
