Readers from young to old will enjoy a variety of events programmed by authors to tantalize and inspire any individual’s love for stories, reading and literature.
CBeebies show Nina and the Neurons will escape from the science lab to visit Wychwood for some Sunday story telling delighting audiences and shedding light on the mysteries behind our brilliant bodies. Philip Ardaugh, described by The Independent as “A National Treasure” is the award-winning author of over 70 books including the 'Eddie Dickens Adventures' and 'Unlikely Exploits' and boasts collaborations with the likes of Sir Paul McCartney on his first children’s book and is also a reviewer of children’s book for The Guardian newspaper. Talking about everything from why he writes and how he writes, to where he gets his inspiration from and his love of ducks, Ardaugh is one authors will not want to miss.
Award-winning illustrator of the 'Horrible Science' series and Cotswolds local Tony de Saulles will be holding dedicated Horrible Science Cartoon Drawing Workshops whilst children’s author, Ian Whybrow will be entertaining all with his latest series from 'Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs'.
Anna Wilson will be talking about her animal themed adventures and Stroud’s favourite 'Zeus on the Loose' author John Dougherty will showcase his talented poetic skills along with songs to enchant and amuse with his silly -style. Elen Caldecott will share her passion for books and her love of inventing characters. 'Operation Eiffel Tower' is her latest wondrous creation taking ordinary people and making them do very extraordinary things.
Shoo Rayner will join the programme as a leading international children’s author and illustrator. He is well known for his commitment to the cause of struggling and newly-independent readers while children love his pacey, highly-illustrated, funny, thoughtful stories based on unforgettable characters. Jamilla Gavin will be talking about her experiences of living in both the foothills of the Himalayas and Wychwood’s local town of Stroud and how this culminated in her writing books reflecting her experiences as a multi-racial child. Finally, Belgium born K J Wignall will offer his sophisticated plots and elegant prose.
Wychwood's Children's Literature Festival sponsors, Waterstones made the following comment: “Waterstones is delighted to be official bookseller for the Wychwood Festival this year and we look forward to the Children's Literature Festival being an exciting, integral part of the festival experience. We hope that readers of all ages will enjoy the variety of author events programmed for the festival and feel inspired to develop their love of stories, reading and books. The Festival bookshop will be situated on site in the literature tent where events and signings will take place. Waterstones main bookshop can be found at 33-41 The Promenade, Cheltenham. Festival goers should also make sure they visit the Roald Dahl Museum tent for swashbuckling storytelling and crafts. Keep your eyes peeled whilst exploring the Children's Literature Festival as you may spot Winnie the Witch, Where's Wally or Floppy the Dog enjoying the Wychwood sunshine! Our 2012 line-up includes the following authors.”
Beach Break Live is so much more than a music festival, programming over 500 performances across 13 venues from 10am-4am. No festival goer will ever suffer from boredom from the moment they arrive on site to the moment they pack up their tent, whether they’re flexing their sporting prowess or soaking up the rays on the beach! Revellers will have the chance to experience burlesque to beat box, woodland theatre to world food, all within the stunning Pembrey Country Park in South Wales.
Adventure knows no bounds at the Student Extreme Games where athletes from 50 different universities compete against each other in extreme sports including kite surfing, wake boarding, skiing and snowboarding for the chance to be crowned the Student Extreme Games Champion as well as winning top prizes donated by sponsors. Beach Break ship in a multi-hit, multi-line run that both freestyle skiers and snowboarders can rip into throughout the festival, plus a huge Pool Gap is being built amid the Welsh sands and professional demos and teams from across the country will be offering guidance and throwing down some serious moves across the weekend. As one of the only festivals in the country to offer such a substantial sporting programme, Beach Break Live attracts thousands of watersports and snow enthusiasts every year, providing not only some great opportunities to participate but also some awesome viewing.
One sports showcase is not enough for Beach Break Live in the Olympic year. The festival team are working with BBL staples Bearded Kitten to programme the rather more tongue-in-cheek Celtic Games. Causing havoc is the name of this Olympic-themed game as festival goers are invited to get involved in everything from human curling and blind folded long jump to the more serious cheese rolling… With all this sport and activity taking place, it's no wonder that Beach Break Live's theme for 2012 is 'VIVA LA GAMES', a true homage to the Olympics and all the encouragement that the revellers will need to arrive in togas, spandex and any other sporting clobber at their disposal.
Basking in Britain's games glory is very much the order of Beach Break Live this year. No festival goer will go untouched from the frenzy of what is set to be a menagerie of mayhem with an Olympic twist. Set on eight miles of award winning, Welsh beach with a woodland backdrop the festival has it all. Global superstars from Dizzee Rascal to Friendly Fires will grace the stages as contortionists and teams of parkour artists roam the grounds ensuring every festival goer has a truly magical and unique four days.
Beach Break Live’s early bird tickets have sold out in record time, proving that the festivals ability to provide so much more than music is popular with this years festival goers. Tickets are now priced at £109 for four days, with only £40 deposit needed, Beach Break Live is no doubt the hottest ticket around this summer.www.beachbreaklive.com

On Saturday August 4th Eastern Electrics Festival 2012 arrives at Clapham Common for a huge all-day, all-out, sunshine-fuelled party – taking the festival season by storm, and promising to be THE event of the year! Join 17,000 like-minded
Eastern Electrics people for London’s biggest summer party!
To celebrate the venue announcement, Eastern Electrics announce more additions to an already impossibly cool lineup.
Pan-Pot, Amirali (live), Sebo K, Greg Wilson, Ralph Lawson, Luca C & Ali Love (Infinity Inc), Trickski and Dusky have been added to the party – as well as so many more! Plus a live headline act And another 10 acts still to be announced!
They call themselves “the dark side of the force” and Mobilee Records’ own audio masters, Berlin duo Pan-Pot go deep with their modern techno. Bringing an eclectic mix of house, techno, funk, electronica, disco and everything in between, Amirali’s live show includes vocals, keys and a visual exploration of his weird and wonderful mind. Mobilee’s house music front-runner Sebo K merges cutting-edge tech, minimal and percussive sounds with vintage Chicago and Detroit accents. Also joining the lineup are Greg Wilson, legendary purveyor of the New York post-disco electro-house sound and one of the original mix-masters, and Ralph Lawson – 2020Vision daddy and one of the world’s best house DJs.
London-based Italian producer Luca. C and Back Yard artist Ali Love promise an exciting and eclectic set – a blend of leftfield disco, analogue house and live vocals. And rising house duo Dusky offer diversity and originality, taking their progressive sound through deep and tech house, into edgy techno territory, and mix it all up with some underground UK funky rhythms.
An Eastern Electrics favourite, Jamie Jones is part of a new guard of house and techno DJs who resonate as artists, party people, DJs, and live acts. Inspiring a deep and soulful sound since the early 1990s, Kerri ‘Kaoz’ Chandler brings a set you’ll remember. An exponent of the new house-meets-bass sound, Julio Bashmore is super hot. Joy Orbison’s house-infused bass productions make him a prime candidate for one of the most explorative sets of the day. With a groove-based house sound, and deep roots in techno, Maceo Plex is looking big in 2012.
Nina Kraviz has been steadily rising through the ranks of house and techno’s finest. Expect house and techno in all its forms, beautifully delivered to the crowd. Tensnake’s sound of the Hamburg underground combines disco, house and electro-funk – and lights up the dancefloor! Crazy P’s live show is a spectacle of deep underground electronica meets pop – and it’s one of the best shows you’ll see all year. Mannheim’s house maestro Nick Curly brings a musical sensibility to his production. And catch Hot Creations’ Miguel Campbell and resident and house music reinvigorator Richy Ahmed.
Eastern Electrics is working with some of the most progressive and creative club brands to bring it with this festival. And now they can announce that FOUND and Return to the Future vs TRIX will host their own arenas. Add to this to other arenas from Eastern Electrics, 2020Vision, Futureboogie Recordings vs Hands on Decks, Black Atlantic and Krankbrother – and you’ve got one hell of a team!
For the first FOUND event outside of its home at Vauxhall’s Hidden club, the brand will take the new breed of UK house and experimental electronic music to a bigger stage, gelling established world renowned house talents with their grass roots British counterparts pushing the progressive end of the spectrum. And two rising London party brands go head-to-head for the EE0408 VIP arena – Return To The Future with their classic warehouse ethos, against the progressive tones of TRIX –
to keep the party going throughout the day. And there’s even more still to come…
Having launched in August 2008, Eastern Electrics has since hosted three block-rocking events each year. The brainchild of two of London’s most prolific and talented club personalities – mulletover promoter and pub owner Rob Star and FOUND and Hidden man Will Paterson, Eastern Electrics is renowned for high production levels and massive genre-busting lineups.
After four years of innovative lineups, collaborative promotion and rammed events, it was only a matter of time before Eastern Electrics looked forward to their next step, taking the party up a level, with an event that looks set to surpass everything that’s come before it. Expect this to be London’s biggest summer party!
Also added are the beloved French songwriter Yann Tiersen, New York’s post-punk heroes, Swans, the mastermind of far-reaching Berlin techno, Monolake, and the seminal DJ-producer Hudson Mohawke, amongst others.
Flow will also host African groups Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou from Benin and Tamikrestfrom Mali. The acclaimed Austrian artist Fennesz will perform as a part of The Other Sound concept, that showcases experimental music. More artists on The Other Sound program will be published later in the spring.
Other international additions to the line-up are Korallreven (SWE), Lindstrøm (NOR) and Africa Hitech (UK/AU). New domestic artists are Huoratron, Burning Hearts and the unique trio Unela, comprising of saxophonist Jukka Perko, singer-songwriter Yona and producer Samuli Kosminen.
The ninth Flow Festival will be organised in Helsinki’s Suvilahti 8–12, 2012.

With an incredible site and ground breaking lineup over 14 stages showcasing hundreds of DJs and live acts from around the globe, Glade 2012 is set to become the must-go-to festival for all lovers of underground electronic music. With burning stages, 3D sound systems, underfloor bass arenas, Woodland parties, 24-hour venue license, Glastonbury’s Rabbit Hole and much more.

No matter which community or tribe, all are invited to come together and participate in this never-to-be-forgotten four-day celebration. It is your very own electric Eden. So what are you waiting for…
This enchanted wooded and open parkland site at Houghton Hall (which has not been used for any other music festival), is without a doubt the perfect permanent home for Glade.
FEATURING…
The Meteor Stage and woodland venues – Making its debut this year, hidden in a thirty-foot deep crater with trees lining its edges and bass bins under the floor. Presented by East London underground party Uppercut, The Meteor is the first of the concept stages this year. Playing all the latest sounds of the underground, surrounded by trees and kicking off the party on Thursday. Deeper in you will find the Liquid Stage, a psychedelic adventure that lasts until eight in the morning. Deeper still you’ll come across members of the Secret Garden family, whether it be medieval bard-core ravers or feral fever badger discos. It sounds insane, and probably will be.
The Pyromid Stage – This year the festival’s central pyramid will be a stage in its own right… that is until it burns down on Saturday night in spectacular fashion. The second concept venue, this stage will house a 360 degree sound system and will be presented by London’s underground heroes Hypercolour and The Sneaker Social Club from Brighton, expect the programming to be as explosive as the structure itself.
Polyphant – The Secret Garden Party production team have given the digital arts on site at the festival a new lease of life, with artists such as Polyphant (http://www.polyphant.tv/) commissioned to design a bespoke immersive environment where he will be blurring the boundaries between architecture, light and space. More bespoke installations will be announced soon.
Remix Roller Disco–Home to every kind of remix mash up imaginable, from electro-swing to hoe-step, this venue is going to be full of fun, day and night. With some serious programming from people who are constantly pushing and blurring boundaries of musical genres in the every direction, this is going to be a sight to behold.
The Rabbit Hole – Dreamt up by the well-known Glastonbury character Hamish Guerrini (aka the White Rabbit), The Rabbit Hole is an immersive wonderland. Crack the riddle, get on your knees and go down the rabbit hole into a madcap world full of characters from the mind of Lewis Carroll. Now a legendary Glastonbury institution The Rabbit Hole is a must for both first time Gladers and seasoned veterans alike. This year the trip doesn’t just stop at the end of the hole but twists and twirls as you are transported into a club environment like no other on the planet. Expect the unexpected.
Feast of Fools Bardcore Soundsystem – The merry pranksters Feast of Fools, a long standing collective who feature at The Secret Garden Party every year, will be bringing not only their bar – The Honeymoon Tavern purveyor of finest quality British Mead – but also their eccentric band of players, performers and misfits.
Nano Venues – This year there’s a whole host of exuberant pop-up Nano venues to discover and explore. Swing by Madame Electrifies Discotech where swing meets synth and big band meets bass to party like its 1929. Drop in to The Social-i Travelling Gallery offering Ergonomic art for Odd Shaped People and a place to let your creative side flow with body-casting and clay fun. Or chill out in the communal hammock domes or unwind in the magic garden of the 21st Century Cinema.
Artful Badger – Another collective from The Secret Garden Party joins Glade this year. Introducing the Artful Badgers, feral disco denizens where the party always gets as weird and surreal as it does down right rude and dirty. If you’ve not seen these guys in action, you’re in for a treat…
New Sanctuary – This year, the Sanctuary is evolving. There will of course still be an incredible healing area, with therapists skilled in all the holistic arts – from reiki to massage, acupuncture to reflexology, gong therapy, holistic therapy and all that’s in between. We’re also introducing a spa, consisting of hot tubs, saunas,sweat lodges, changing rooms and more. All brought together in a beautiful area in and out of the trees. This will be a place to relax, indulge yourself and get seriously clean, both inside and out.
Cafés – This year at Glade, a great deal of love gas been poured into the cafes and food stalls. Places to chill, laugh…and eat cake! Cafes are the heart and soul of any independent festival, so this year Glade’s gone all out to source some of the best independent traders around. The food court will be a place to meet your missing friends, take a breather from the madness of the festival, regroup, relax and unwind. There will be a huge variety of food and drink from all around the world on offer, including many vegetarian and vegan options.
Boutique Camping – Gladers who fancy treating themselves to a little luxury over the festival can do no better than getting involved in boutique camping. With several packages on offer including tipis, yurts and even Beryl – a three bed Cornish country cottage on wheels – there is no better way to experience Glade. Private facilities, including express parking and festival tickets, come as standard, with each package.lectives & labels representing every electronic genre over 14 stages showcasing hundreds of DJs and live acts from around the globe, Glade 2012 is set to become the must-go-to festival for all lovers of underground electronic music.
With our incredible 24hr venues, you can party hard until 8am and then chill out in the Inspiral lounge 24hrs a day.
Fans of electronic music also have a lot to cheer about, as they can meet acts like Caspa, Toddla T and Camo & Crooked in Soporon, Hungary, between 27-30 June 2012.
VOLT started precisely 19 years ago, on 4 April 1993. That was the day when Zoltán Fülöp and Norbert Lobenwein – directors of the festival – organized a big party for Easter Sunday in Sopron. The event turned out to be a success, still they never thought that they will expect more than 100 thousand fans for the 20th edition in 2012. Now they do…
Of course they also didn’t think about the distant possibility to host Mike Patton’s iconic Faith No More on their event. Now it’s a reality. The band had a 10 years break before reuniting a few years ago, but their biggest hits (songs like Easy, Epic, Midlife Crisis, A Small Victory, etc.) are regularly played on radios across the globe. They are only playing some of the most famous festivals, so VOLT is proud to be on their tour list. The day of their VOLT gig – 28 June – will have an especially strong line-up with acts like Chase & Status, Simple Plan, Hadouken!, Katy B and Mac Miller also playing.
If you’re not the rocker type, you might enjoy the gig of Caspa, DJ, producer and one of the best known representatives of the London underground scene, joined by MC Dynamite and Emalkay. Caspa already played some of the biggest festivals of the world, regularly performs at London’s legendary Fabric club and even has his own labels (amongst them Storming Productions and Dub Police), releasing dubstep and grime productions.
Another important program feature of this year’s VOLT is Camo & Krooked, arriving from nearby Vienna and presenting some of the most exciting drum’n’bass productions of these days. Already mega successful in the scene, the duo plays fast and modern tunes, touching drumstep and dubstep, but also staying true to the quality traditions of the genre.
Many fans have been waiting for the first Hungarian gig of Toddla T, known as a multi-sided e-musician, DJ, producer, radio presenter and mixtape guru, arriving from Sheffield. His style is close to grime and 2-step, but also no stranger to hiphop, garage and dancehall. Toddle T shows are highlighted by great vocalists and he already recorded two successful albums, featuring hit single Take It Back.
And VOLT wouldn’t be VOLT without the greatest Hungarian bands, including the already announced concert of Ákos and also presenting Hungarian allstars Quimby and Tankcsapda, starting to develop a good name for themselves internationally. The detailed programs of the stages are expected to be online within a few days, so make sure you regularly check the festival’s official website for updates. Also keep in mind that the reduced priced Early Bird tickets are only available until 15 April.
