The Legendary Love Family Park returns for its 25th Anniversary

by

The festival has unveiled first headliners and for the first time, extends over two days

Date: 3rd & 4th August, 2024
Location: Rebstockpark, Frankfurt
Tickets: http://lovefamilypark.com/tickets

After a much talked about return last year, one of Germany’s most prestigious open-air techno festivals Love Family Park is back once again at the stunning Rebstockpark in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. This year the 25th edition extends to two days and plays out on the weekend of August 3 and 4 2024 with two stages on each day. The first phase of headliners include on Day One Adam Beyer, Charlie Sparks, Loco Dice, Patrick Mason, Sven Väth and more and on Day Two 999999999, Alignment, Indira Paganotto, Mind Against, Miss Monique, PAN-POT b2b Sama’ Abdulhadi, Reinier Zonneveld live, Trym and more.

Since 1996, the LFP has been an integral part of the electronic music scene and a cultural institution in the Rhine-Main area. This year it makes its epic 25th edition as it remains a highlight for music lovers with a program that is celebrated for its mix of quality, tradition, and diversity with a lineup that reflects all the colours of the modern spectrum. The venue for all this is the Rebstockpark Frankfurt, a lush and open green space with the city’s skyline off in the distance that is very well connected to local motorways, public transport and the international airport in Frankfurt.

Last year’s first event in four years successfully took place without noise complaints and in harmony with environmental protections. The organiser reduced the capacity to 10,000 guests on two floors for the pilot project and because it went so well with great feedback from all, this year it doubles in size with 20, 000 people welcomed to the same areas as in 2023 but across two days. This minimises environmental impact and means that getting in and out remains hassle free for festival attendees.

LFP now has a long-term home that enables it to offer more cats than ever with the new two day concept on two bespoke stages with high class sound systems and cutting edge production. Once again the soundtrack comes from the cutting edge with Drumcode boss Adam Beyer, dark techno master Charlie Sparks, the chunky rolling sounds of German titan Loco Dice, brilliance from Patrick Mason, colourful sounds from the Cocoon hero Sven Väth, blistering grooves from 999999999, Alignment, and breakout Spanish star Indira Paganotto, melodic explorations from Italian pair Mind Against and Ukranie’s prog innovator Miss Monique, plus a special coming together of PAN-POT b2b Sama’ Abdulhadi, fierce acid techno from Reinier Zonneveld live and much more to come.

Love Family Park is an incomparable all-dayer that unites thousands of party-people from across Europe so make sure you are part of this celebration of the world’s finest techno and house. Tickets include free public transportation within the RMV area and last year’s sold out so get yours now for this spectacular 25th edition at lovefamilypark.com/tickets.

Adam Beyer, Amelie Lens, Stephan Bodzin (live), Reinier Zonneveld (live), Mathame, FJAAK, Mind Against, Maceo Plex, Miss Monique and hard dance techno stars Sara Landry, Trym and 999999999 all star while a very special Q-dance takeover will also feature at the beach festival

One of the largest open-air lakeside events in Europe returns when Heineken Balaton Sound plays out from 3 – 6 July 2024 at its sublime setting by the gorgeous Lake Balaton in Zamárdi, Hungary. Now it has unveiled a raft of superb new names including Amelie Lens, Adam Beyer, Maceo Plex, Stephan Bodzin live, Reinier Zonneveld live, Mathame, FJAAK, Mind Against, Vintage Culture, Miss Monique, hard dance techno stars Sara Landry, Trym and 999999999, plus a special Q-dance take over on the Main Stage. All this comes on top of a huge first wave that included the likes of James Hype, Purple Disco Machine, Paul Kalkbrenner, John Newman, Marshmello, Lost Frequencies and many more. 4-Day Passes are available for just €225 from https://balatonsound.com/tickets

Heineken Balaton Sound is renowned for its stunning location right by Lake Balaton, a perfect holiday spot that allows you to relax and soak up the sun as well as dance the night away. It plays out across plenty of stages that all have their own look and feel and no other event in Europe does things on quite such a scale across the Main Stage with its vast LED wall; the house and techno oriented B my Lake stage and many more intimate stages that all come with high spec audio-visuals, lights and serious sound systems.

“With the newly announced performers, our goal is to offer a wide selection from the electronic music scene that is now clearly visible for the attendees of Heineken Balaton Sound,” started Anna Filutás, the festival’s project manager. As such, the festival will showcase both the mainstream elite of electronic music and the best of underground electronic music, significantly strengthening the lineup with increasingly popular hard techno and hardstyle artists with these newly announced names.

This latest wave of names will welcome Heineken Balaton Sound debutant Amelie Lens who returns after maternity leave and brings her dark techno magic, astral techno from the Ellum Audio boss and world renowned innovator Maceo Plex, while Drumcode label head Adam Beyer has been innovating in the techno world for many years. There is no show quite as special as the live soundtrack served up by Stephan Bodzin, and this year hard techno is having a resurgence and will be fully represented by Sara Landry, Trym and 999999999 on top of the already announced Nico Moreno.

Prepare for an electrifying convergence of cutting-edge musical talent featuring a myriad of genres within the house and techno realms. Leading the charge is the chart-topping vocal house sensation, MEDUZA, promising an unforgettable performance. Reinier Zonneveld will take the stage with his signature blend of hard-edge acid techno, delivering a live experience that pushes the boundaries of innovation.

Joining them are the Italian duo Mathame, renowned for their captivating melodic sounds, alongside Danish luminary Kölsch, who will transport listeners with his emotive compositions. FJAAK, the Berlin-based duo, will unleash their jacking club grooves, while techno aficionados can anticipate a special collaboration as Space 92 and POPOF present “Turbulences”. Adding to the immersive experience is Siona label head Miss Monique, who will enchant the crowd with her progressive sounds. Meanwhile, Brazilian Vintage Culture will deliver pulsating, bass-driven house beats, ensuring an electrifying atmosphere throughout the event. Further house and techno excellence will come from Alison Wonderland, Brina Knauss, Borgore and Sam Feldt

But the excitement doesn’t end here. The legendary Q-dance will take over the Main Stage, offering a showcase of unparalleled energy and passion. Featuring performances by The Qreator, Sound Rush, Ran-D, Warface, Sefa, and DV8, this takeover promises to be a spectacular finale, leaving attendees with memories to last a lifetime.

The countdown is on until music lockers embark on an endless adventure at Heineken Balaton Sound 2024, where a myriad of experiences await—walkabouts, fashion shows, sports, dance workshops, techno yoga, and more.

On top of that, several changes await visitors this year: the main entrance will be relocated, and the location of the main stage will change, providing a more comfortable space for the expected large audience. The festival will still include the 1 km long beach section that attracts many foreign visitors and features waterfront locations, beach parties, and comfortable relaxation with water games throughout the festival, day, and night.

“On the relocated main stage, the programs will entertain the audience until dawn, and on the last day, we will top it with a massive end show, presented by the outstanding and recurring Dutch Q-dance, showcasing the harder styles of electronic dance music,” revealed Anna Filutás.

This remarkable open-air celebration is a must-visit for festival enthusiasts, promising an unforgettable experience. There are plenty of camping options on site, or you can book a hotel in Zamárdi or Siofok, making it the ultimate summer holiday destination from 3 – 6 July 2024.

FB / IG / TW

MOGA Caparica is proud to announce the Phase 1 lineup for its 2024 edition, marking a groundbreaking transformation in the festival’s history. Set to take place from May 29th to June 2nd, 2024, this year’s event promises to elevate the experience to new heights, transitioning from a series of beach parties to a full-fledged beach festival with a single expansive site and three stages. The carefully curated mix of headliners has been revealed: Acid Pauli, Dekmantel Soundsystem, Dixon, Jan Blomqvist (Live), Luca Saporito (Audiofly), Mr. ID, Pachanga Boys, Satori, Xinobi & Desiree

This transition marks a significant milestone in MOGA Caparica’s history, representing the festival’s evolution into a new phase of development. After laying solid foundations during its first three editions, MOGA Festival Caparica is ready to embark on this exciting journey towards a more integrated and expansive festival experience following its edition in Essaouira (Morocco).

The Phase 1 lineup reflects this evolution, featuring an eclectic mix of renowned artists and emerging talents from the electronic music scene. From mesmerizing live performances to captivating DJ sets, MOGA Festival Caparica promises an unforgettable musical journey for all attendees.

Phase 1 lineup IN (May 31 – June 2) :

ACID PAULI – ANDHIM – ATLASSI – BLACK POMADE – DEKMANTEL SOUNDSYSTEM – DESIREE – DIXON – HEIDI LAWDEN – JAN BLOMQVIST (Live) – JUST KELLY – KAWTAR SADIK (live) – KOKESHI – LUCA SAPORITO (AUDIOFLY) – MR.

Stay tuned as MOGA Festival Caparica continues to unveil the full scope of its immersive musical experience with another phase of artists set to be announced in the coming weeks and its OFF program announcement with free parties and activities all around Costa da Caparica on May 29th and 30th.
