Travel, music and culture will all collide in a tropical paradise at Cult Excape Maldives from October 29th to November 21st 2021. For a few unforgettable days, this boutique festival invites you to escape from everyday life and sink deep into two luxury resorts in the Indian Ocean. Featuring non-stop entertainment and international DJs, world-class restaurants, bars, cafes, rich marina culture and much more, Cult Excape Maldives will be the holiday of a lifetime. This is the very first festival of its kind in the region and all-inclusive tickets start at just AED 4995 per person.
This Halloween, Cult Excape Maldives invites you to build your own virtue and experience a truly dream-like reality in a utopian location. It will be packed with all sorts of grown-up escapades and stunning vistas for an all-in-one price that includes food, drink and local transfers so the only other expense is your flight. 

This all-new compact and cultured festival takes place in the incredible lifestyle hub that is Crossroads Maldives, which includes two high-class resorts in the Hard Rock Hotel Maldives and Saii Lagoon Maldives. The resort is nestled amongst the exotic Kaafu Atoll and Emboodhoo Lagoon with endless white-sand beaches, towering palms trees and breathtaking ocean views that allow you to gaze at the awe-inspiring sun as it rises and falls each day. A gorgeous marina walk connects both multi-integrated resorts which make the intimate and secluded areas your own adult playgrounds. 


The picture-perfect resort offers all sorts of magical experiences and luxury, all-inclusive packages. Picture yourself swimming with whales, partaking in wellness, yoga and stretching classes, saunas, steam room, plunge pool and enjoying a spa garden plus water sports, kayaking, pedal boats and snorkeling trips on the house reef. World-class DJs will soundtrack both day and night, and there will be magical events on beaches and in island pagodas with a special closing ceremony.

This is the third event from CULT EXCAPE following a pre-pandemic, invite-only and sold-out desert event in Dubai which happened at the height of the pandemic when no one in the world was dancing. Then came Cult Excape Maldives Chapter one right after the pandemic lockdown with just 150 lucky guests attending from all over the world in the midst of the restrictions. This new concept aims to bring a level of togetherness to the region and showcase the power of the talent available in the country on a global scale.


Cult Excape Maldives is a once in a lifestyle experience unlike any other. Places are strictly limited so act fast to secure your ticket to paradise.

12 Photos From Amnesia’s 7 Day Ibiza Takeover – Croatia

Amnesia recently came to Croatia for a huge take over to mark the closing week of the famous Zrce Beach. 

It took place across all three open air venues right by the sea – Papaya, Noa and Kalpso and had a world class line up of names including Adam Beyer, Claptone, Marco Faraone, Kölsch, Luca Donzelli, and more. 

As well as the non stop music there was plenty more to do such as sunset boat trips, BBQ fiesta, after beach parties, VIP packages and watersports. 

The weather was gorgeous, the crowd was very cosmopolitain and the whole takeover played out with plenty of famous hedonistic Ibizan spirit. 

We were there and here are some of the best photos from the week. 

Ministry of Sound celebrating their 30th Anniversary

Three Parties
Three Genres
Three Decades of Dance

IG / FB / Tiktok: @ministryofsoundclub

Twitter: @ministry_club

This September marks the 30 year anniversary of the opening of our London club, back in 1991. Inspired by New York’s cavernous house venues, our home was a derelict bus garage in South London. The first night had no alcohol, three flashing lights, moody security and unless you knew the names of at least half a dozen Chicago house DJs, you were never getting through the menacing, prison-like, gates.

Since then, Ministry of Sound has grown into one of the biggest electronic music brands in the world. Taking in an incredibly successful record label, global touring brand and most of all, cementing our London club as the most famous nightclub in the world.

To celebrate such a momentous occasion, we’re inviting you to a three-part celebration taking in all things Ministry of Sound. We’ve expertly curated three events championing each of the three main genres that have found a home in SE1.

Part 1 – Trance – Friday 17th September (Night)

Tickets

Friday nights at Ministry of Sound are synonymous with Trance, so we’ve assembled the very best names from Trance old and new. The legend, Paul Van Dyk will be doing a special ’30 years of electronic music set’.

PVD will be joined in The Box by trance heavyweights Aly & Fila, Will Atkinson and John Askew. Over in 103 former residents Judge Jules and Tall Paul head up a celebration of that big room sound that has soundtracked so many nights on Gaunt Street.

Lineup: Paul Van Dyk, Aly & Fila, Will Atkinson, John Askew, Judge Jules, Tall Paul, Paul Thomas, Lottie, Alex Anderson, Ryan Spicer & more

Part 2 – UKG – Saturday 18th September (Day)

Tickets

Next up in our triple-threat birthday, you can enjoy a full day of back to back old (and not so old) Skool UKG – a genre that grew out of Ministry of Sound afterparties before becoming one of the most loved sounds at the club.

We’ve got very special live guests Heartless Crew, joining an all-star team of UKG DJs including DJ Zinc, Todd Edwards B2B Majestic, Matt ‘Jam’ Lamont, Zed Bias, Sunship, SHOSH, Martin ‘Liberty’ Larner and Perception.

Lineup: DJ Zinc, Todd Edwardsb2b Majestic, Matt ‘Jam’ Lamont, Zed Bias, Sunship, Heartless Crew & more

Part 3 – House – Saturday 18th September (Night)

Tickets

Finally, Saturday night will take us back to the earliest days of Ministry and the genre most intertwined with our thirty-year history. House music has been our first and most enduring love, so it’s only right that Saturday night sees us welcome back some of the best house selectors of the past three decades.

Few artists have made a bigger impact on house music over the last 30 years than Armand Van Helden, a bonafide legendary producer with a jaw-dropping back catalogue. Joining Armand are one of the biggest UK acts of the past three decades, Groove Armada, with fast-rising star Bellaire and the man who started it all, Ministry of Sound founder, Justin Berkmann. The rest of Saturday night will see our full team of residents bring 30 years of bangers to SE1.

Lineup: Armand van Helden, Groove Armada, Bellaire, The Menendez Brothers, Justin Berkmann, Fat Tony, Arielle Free, Jimmy Switch b2b Griff, Brian Summers, Matt Francey & more

End of the Road 2021 – Review

End of the Road is a festival for people passionate about music. Set halfway between Salisbury and Blandford in Dorset, this years festival didn’t disappoint. With such an eclectic mix, it was appropriate that the main tent was sponsored by the ‘Loud and Quiet’ independent publication. No two words at each end of the musical spectrum sum up the performances over the magical weekend.

Stereolab headlined the Thursday night, with their first set since before the pandemic in March 2020. Clearly the bandhad initial stage nerves, but launching their biggest hit, French Disko, they renamed it ‘F**k the Daily Telegraph‘, presumably due to the chorus ‘La Resistance‘. Long gone are the days when festival would be three day affairs beginning on the Friday – such is the power of End of the Road’s attraction that they can attract such talent when people used to be accustomed to setting up their tent and perusing the merch stalls on opening night.

The political messages continued into Saturday morning, with the Mark Jenkin’s film ‘Bait‘ starting proceedings for the day. One of the defining British films of the decade, it portrayed beautifully the war between the local Cornish fishermen and the gentrification of the once-thriving village by rich city folk. Welsh musician Gwenno accompanied the film in person with a mesmerising score.

Later in the day as the sun began setting, Damon Albarn appeared as special guest on the main stage. Clearly enjoying himself and goofing around onstage, he mixed solo material, Gorillaz and The Good, the Bad and the Queen tracks, it was an impressive addition to the bill. Finishing with classic Blur song ‘This is a Low‘, it was a difficult act to follow or compete with. The only downside was that while Damon played the main Woods stage, Arlo Parks was booked to play the Garden stage at the same time – such a crime for there to be a clash pulling fans apart when people still haven’t developed the ability to be in two places at the same time. Still, she was booked over 12 months ago to play in 2020 so it shows the astute ear and crystal ball the organisers have for upcoming talent.

To beat Damon and Arlo Parks, the festival would have to pull out impressive headliners. And they did.

Hot Chip and John Grant would later be booked at competing stages as headliners on the same evening. Having chosen to see Hot Chip, it would have taken an unreal performance to have stolen the show from them. They were simply on fire with arguably the best headline show of the summer at any festival. This may sound like over-the-top praise, but in addition to their own classic pop and funk, they mixed in the mosh-pit frenzy of Beastie Boys classic ‘Sabotage‘ and finished appropriately with Springsteen’s ‘Dancing in the Dark‘.

Saturday began again with another Welsh six-piece, Melin Melyn – with catchy eccentric pop with a country twang. Joined by Dr Sausage onstage with a fake wig, beard and easel, they felt like a fresh new Super Furry Animals.

Later on Saturday, Anna Meredith dazzled the crowd with her self-defacing charm. Her music straddled so many different genres it would be unwise to categorise her, but she is a must-see on any lineup. Finishing with an unbelievable cover of ‘Enter Sandman’ which Metallica would have been proud of, it’s clear why she was even awarded an MBE on the Queen’s honours list in 2019.

Making a rare solo performance, Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood followed on the Garden Stage. Introducing a number of classical songs from soundtracks to There Will Be BloodPhantom Thread, and You Were Never Really Here it was a unique concert experience. He’ll be playing a number of cathedrals and concert halls throughout 2022 and the acoustics in such venues will make this an exceptional experience.

Sunday began with a had a hard rock feel with Oldboy and John taking to the Big Top. Ear-splittingly loud, the two-piece (both appropriately called John), highlight how many exciting bands are currently out there, from Slaves, Royal Blood and IDLES.

Later, Porridge Radio took to the same stage, with singer and lead guitarist Dana Margolin rinsing her head under the tap multiple times before taking to the stage due to the sheer heat on the festival site.

Clearly it was a beautiful weekend on the festival site, and the peacocks rummaging around the grounds added to the beauty of the weekend. Simon Amstell’s comedy performance even described the crowd as the ‘forest people’ which was apt due to the magical transformation Larmer Tree gardens took for the weekend.

Heckled by sheep in the field behind, it was hard not to laugh at many of the comedy performances throughout the weekend.

Finishing off the weekend were Black Country New Road, with someone in the crowd shouting ‘you’re the best band in the world’ – not quite yet, but watch this space.

Little Simz followed and arguably the rapper should have been booked as a headliner, such was the power of her performance. Her album is entitled ‘Sometimes I Might Be Introvert‘, but that personality was not on show today – she was here to party in style and show the world, or at least Dorset, what a star she will be.

Little Simz – © Graham Tarrant

After Little Simz, watching Arab Strap showed the contrast of the festival. Aidan Moffat’s very dark but humorous lyrics painted him as a grumpy old Father Christmas, and it was clear many in the crowd didn’t see the comedic elements of the Scottish legends.

With many bands booked throughout the weekend having to cancel either due to Covid or travel restrictions, 2022 at End of the Road cannot come soon enough. With legends and Bowie favourites Pixies expected to headline, the next twelve months can’t pass quick enough so we can all head back to this incredible unique festival.

On 3rd – 5th June 2022, ‘In It Together Festival’ will bring something to the lush Welsh valleys that the country has never seen before: 40,000 people, eight stages of world-class, multi-genre music, and three days of rich entertainment and cultural enlightenment that will go down in history at Newlands Farm, Margam, South Wales. 

This family-friendly camping experience from festival juggernauts Escape Records will give more than 50 carefully selected Welsh artists the biggest platforms of their careers, with a specially curated stage specifically for the very best in local talent. They will share the bill with a host of international superstars across a diverse and inclusive program of music and entertainment that also includes cabaret, comedy and circus fun, all with a focus on well-being and mental health. 

The Escape team behind the event have firmly established themselves as the leading event promoters in Wales over recent years, having previously launched three hugely successful festivals across the country; Inside Out, Colour Clash and Party At The Park, as well as breathing new life into one of Wales’ most beloved legacy festival brands, Escape, each with capacities ranging from 5000 to 15,000 people. 

And now comes the biggest and boldest of them all. In It Together Festival will have a key spotlight on local talent as the team have been working hard to unearth the next Welsh superstars with their Welsh Artist Spotlight Scheme. More than 50 talents nurtured by the scheme will all play across The Paddock and Forgotten Garden Stage, showcasing their skills on a fantastic platform that will truly establish them as leaders of the next generation.

The production across the site will be second to none, with the biggest dance tent Wales has ever seen leading the charge, plus an unmatched audio visual experience making sure your every single synapse is firing from the first to the last moment.
