Verve is a brand new and historic techno festival coming to Lucerne’s Allmend/Messe 1 arena in Switzerland. From May 20th – 22nd it promises something new and supersized for the city, with cutting edge artists in an innovative indoor space. The first wave of names include Ben Klock, Innellea, Lilly Palmer, Oliver Huntemann, Joris Voorn, Animal Trainer, Denis Horvat, Konstantin Sibold, Miss Monique, Øostil, Pig&Dan, SHDW & Obscure Shape, The Element, Cattarre, Doma, Gean, Kaleiko, Marco Capone, Pazkal & Vanita with many more international techno tastemakers to come. For tickets, head to verve-festival.ch

Verve is a state of the art venue packed with high end technology. Laser displays take you into another dimension. The sound system is crystal clear up top and punchy down low. The overall style of the vast warehouse is futuristic. All of this makes it a perfect setting for a coming together of true music lovers and celebration of avant garde electronic music.

Across this special festival, which is easily accessible by a train that stops right outside, Verve will welcome 10,000 people, offer more than 24 hours of music and more than 30 of the world’s most innovative techno DJs to play across two indoor stages. The first is a vast main room that will soak you in high end light and visuals, and the second is a slightly smaller space for more intimate but energetic sounds. As well as the music, there will be a culinary world tour that will take you through the best tastes on the planet, while an outdoor area will be a stylish place to catch your breath and chill with a cocktail or two.

Providing the soundtrack will be Berghain mainstay, techno pioneer and unrelenting DJ talent Ben Klock. His big, concrete funk sound is famous the world over and perfect for this sort of festival. German Innellea has the ability to transcend genre with his emotive sets and futuristic sounds. Lilly Palmer brings her contemporary techno sounds after big tunes on the likes of Drumcode and Spannung Records have established her right at the vanguard. On top this comes Dutch hero and Rejected label boss Joris Voorn, long time titan Oliver Huntemann, a special set from ØOSTIL b2b The Element, local Swiss stars Animal Trainer, stripped back and atmospheric techno from SHDW & OBSCURE SHAPE, plus more from techno talents Konstantin Sibold, Pig & Dan, Denis Horvat, Miss Monique, Cattarre, Doma, Gean, Kaleiko, Marco Capone, Pazkal, Vanita.

The festival comes from the Kopflos Agency, a respected, dynamic and dedicated events management agency based in Lucerne. The agency is very passionate about electronic music and has been at the heart of the local scene and now uses all its know-how to launch this much anticipated new event.

Founder of Verve Festival and Co-Founder of Kopflos Agency Omar A.Rahman says, “We have been facing many challenges while planning the festival and organizing all the little details due to the Pandemic. However, we believe it is the right time to announce our Verve Festival in Luzern. The whole industry is not tolerating the situation anymore, and we feel it is our duty to do something and back up the industry.”
 
Fellow Verve Festival and Kopflos Agency founder Jan Boesch says, ”We have to organize something for the city in Luzern. The whole nightlife suffers enormously from the corona pandemic and less organizers are daring to do something about it”

Verve is the largest festival in central Switzerland with an escapist techno atmosphere. Do not miss.

Early bird tickets are now sold out but for now general sale tickets remain available. But act fast, because after the announcement of the artists of Phase II they will sell out from verve-festival.ch

by

An unmissable 4 days in paradise in all inclusive 5* accommodation with beach parties, beach club events, brunches and so much more

Ever dreamt of spending a morning snorkelling with tropical fish, an afternoon relaxing in a multi-sensory music-themed spa, an evening of gastronomic delight in a world class restaurant followed by a beach party as a perfect sun sets into the Indian Ocean?

Well, wonder no more: O Beach Ibiza, celebrating their 10 year anniversary, are taking over Maldives for a pioneering, first of its kind ultimate paradise island experience for those who love the highlife, taking place from 24th – 29th November 2022. This four day, four night event welcomes just 800 people to two breathtaking islands The Hardrock Maldives and Saii Lagoon, with parties hosted by O Beach favourites KISStory, Boat Club, Pool Party, Aces, Ibiza Spray, SIN Sundays and Hot Bed, two idyllic resorts to stay in and a wealth of unbelievable activities, restaurants, holistic experiences and so much more. Prices start from £1750 for four nights all inclusive F&B accommodation, access to all events, plus transfers from Male airport at https://obeachmaldives.com/

O Beachs first ever international weekender is the perfect way to celebrate 10 years of the beloved brand, and there is no destination that truly encapsulates the O Beach ethos and paradisiacal atmosphere quite like the clear blue waters of the Indian Ocean.

The once in a lifetime location for this VIP experience is Crossroads Maldives including the stunning Hardrock Hotel, Saii Lagoon and The Marina. These interconnected islands are situated in the breathtaking Kaafu Still and Emboohoo lagoon and have all been exclusively taken over for O Beach Maldives. The three islands will come alive with daily events from beach parties to beach club events, brunches and after parties that all offer their own unique vibes.

Says Gemma Charters, Director of Brands & Events; ‘We are so excited to be offering this trip of a lifetime to the Maldives so people can come and celebrate our 10th year with us in true style! It will be 4 days and 4 nights of pure celebration with one of the most beautiful backdrops in the world, the Indian Ocean. It is unlike anything anyone has seen before upon those archipelago of islands and it will be a very special trip not to be missed.’

Throughout your stay you’ll be free to island hop, sample the rich variety of bars, restaurants, shops and beach clubs or simply lay back and soak up the sun on your own private deck. The 5* Hard Rock Hotel has a music inspired rock spa, pools with underwater speakers and large suites, beach villas or overwater villas to stay in. Meanwhile, Sail Lagoon is another 5* resort that pairs high end luxury with bohemian detail, world class facilities and expansive balconies offering open sea views of the ocean with a range of exceptional gastronomical experiences.

The islands have a delicious selection of all-inclusive restaurants all with their own flavour of cuisine including fresh BBQ, Asian, Mediterranean, Mexican as well as some fresh Maldivian dishes with unlimited house wine, beer, branded spirits, cocktails, mocktails, juices, teas, coffees and water.

There is also a resort gym based in the sumptuous and leafy surroundings of Saii and a second has views overlooking the Indian Ocean at Hardrock, while an ultimate day of pampering awaits at Len Be Well with new levels of relaxation, spa treatments and holistic activities. Complete your escape with some activities both above and under the water, including snorkelling, kayaking and diving. On top of what the islands already offer, O Beach will program a range of hospitality and wellness experiences to make this a truly magical getaway.

The Garden Party Leeds announces huge 16th anniversary weekender

by

Jon Hopkins, Hot Since 82, Denis Sulta, Skream & Derrick Carter all headline

1 weekend, 2 days, 2 stages – our biggest party yet.

Now in their 16th year, The Garden Party will take over a brand new, never before used city centre venue, soon to be revealed.

Since starting in 2006 The Garden Party has had many transformations over the years, from their beginnings in The Faversham, to their beloved venue Canal Mills, they’re huge tenth birthday celebrations at The Tetley and finally to their fully outdoor venue on Globe Road last year. Though they’ve had many changes, this is their biggest glow up yet.

Not only is The Garden Party amping up their venue, but with more space comes more stages. This new exclusive venue will allow The Garden Party to offer even more to its customers, including the introduction of two main stages, completely outdoor for those sunny Garden Party days.

Saturday 30th April – Sunday 1st May: Pencil it in your diaries!

For one weekend and one weekend only in 2022 The Garden Party will span across the May Bank Holiday, running from Saturday 30th April – Sunday 1st May.

The winter months have been going on far too long so The Garden Party is bringing summer forward a couple of weeks. Expect the bank holiday weekend to go off with 24 huge acts, including big names such as Jon Hopkins, Hot Since 82, Denis Sulta, Skream and so many more! They’ll also have a variety of food and drink offerings on site to keep you going for the whole weekend.

After a sell out weekend last year and their venue and line up announcements on the horizon, we’re expecting to see huge excitement surrounding the festival in the coming weeks.

Matt Long, Director of New Citizens

“We’re so excited to be back for our 16th year of The Garden Party Leeds. Our reopening last year after lock down was a huge hit and the welcome back we all needed. It seemed like it was going to be hard to top, but this year we’ve gone even bigger and better event. One weekend, a brand new never before used city centre venue, and the biggest line up we’ve ever produced”

Kevin & Perry Celebrate 20 Years at Amnesia Ibiza

by

Tickets

In 2000 a teen film was released which has since gone on to earn cult status amongst clubbers across the Globe largely for its soundtrack, humour, performances from Harry Enfield and Kathy Burke and its references to Ibiza’s rave culture.

It’s hard to believe that over two decades (and a pandemic!) have flown by so how better to celebrate Kevin & Perry’s 20th anniversary than to go back to where it all happened, Amnesia Ibiza.

Dancing and music are now back and 100% legal again in Ibiza so this certainly calls for a double-celebration. Join us on Monday June 6th and on Tuesday 27th September 2022 as we finally return to where the cult movie was filmed 20 years ago.

The pandemic sadly disrupted the initial celebration plans but Kevin & Perry are springing back bigger and better as they are set to host BOTH the Discotheque and Terrace arenas at Amnesia, Ibiza.

Performing in the famous Discotheque will be the DJ that originally played during the actual filming, Seb Fontaine, the curator of the iconic soundtrack, Judge Jules and “Follow Me” track producer and DJ, Lange.

The supercharged Amnesia terrace will be hosted by Ben Nicky’s Emotional Havoc and Paul Taylor’s Retro parties!

Expect a crowd packed full of Trance & classic lovers, old school Ibiza faces and a vibe pulled straight from the 90’s/early 00’s with lasers, strobes and smoke machines!

Judge Jules – “What’s astonished me about Kevin and Perry is that its appeal spans the generations. Each track from its soundtrack is familiar to everyone between the ages of 13 and 50. Having been involved in the movie’s soundtrack, and having been in Ibiza when it was filmed 20 years ago, I could never have imagined that K&P would have such enduring musical and cultural significance. There have been a number of films covering Ibiza club culture, but none has come close to Kevin and Perry, in terms of its everlasting popularity. Going back to where it all started for the 20th Anniversary in Amnesia will be a special occasion indeed.”

Seb Fontaine – “Every time I watch it gives me goose-bumps. Working with them on the club scenes was fantastic and it was actually me djing with Kevin and Perry on fake decks. One of those nights you just never forget and I can’t wait for the 20th Anniversary celebrations back at Amnesia Ibiza this summer.”

Event info:

Dates: Monday 6th June / Tuesday 27th September
Venue: Amnesia (Main Room and Terrace)
Opening Hours: 2300 – 0600

World class sound throughout from VOID Acoustics and real devotion to production, lights and lasers always elevate every party to the next level.

SXM Festival has announced the phase one lineup for its highly-anticipated return to the Caribbean island of Saint Martin / Sint Maarten. From March 9-13, the destination experience will give attendees the chance to witness many of the top names in the underground techno and house scene in one of the world’s most beautiful and culturally diverse island locales.

Since its debut back in 2016, SXM Festival has remained focused on booking lineups that showcase a mix of legendary names and emerging acts alike from far-reaching corners of the globe. Some of clubland’s most celebrated selectors and live acts descend on Saint Martin / Sint Maarten annually to play for one of the most loyal and engaged communities of music fans and global party nomads in the world. The result is a breeding ground for musical experimentation and discovery eclipsed only by the beauty of the festival’s host location.

This year, SXM Festival will once again bring together many of the top names in the European scene. Attendees can look forward to the famed zeitgeist of Chilean-born minimal icon Ricardo Villalobos, Innervisions co-founders Âme, and live performance extraordinaire Jan Blomqvist. Other standouts include Life and Death label boss Dj Tennis, veteran German producer Steve Bug, multi-instrumentalist Chloé Caillet, and Copenhagen live trio WhoMadeWho.

The lineup also features celebrated acts from around the globe including the legendary Dubfire, Canadian favorite Blond:ish, Israeli star Chaim, and Grammy-nominated producer Danny Tenaglia. Phase one is rounded out by a diverse mix of veteran and rising names like Carlita, Behrouz, Sonja Moonear, Hoj, YokoO, Amine K, Raresh, Emanuel Satie, and more.

Attendees of the 5-day and 5-night tropical dance music escape will find themselves effortlessly navigating secluded beaches, lush jungle dancefloors, stunning villas, boat parties, and beach clubs – from sunrise to sunset. This unique party format is what sets SXM Festival apart from other destination festivals, guiding attendees through an eclectic mix of music, culture, and travel throughout their time in paradise.

Guests can experience their favorite house and techno artists at a variety of unique venues filled with mesmerising decor. Any SXM Festival devotées will tell you tales of the event’s beating heart, Happy Bay. The secluded private beach nestled in the jungle serves as the main evening venue for SXM Festival and is home to the iconic Arc Main stage and the immersive Ocean stage. Other highlights include Boho Beach Cub, the perfect place to chill out and escape during the day, along with Karakter, which overlooks the Caribbean sea and provides a spectacular view of aircrafts coming in for landing at SXM Airport and is the perfect place to catch a sunset.

Those seeking the VIP treatment can select from a number of luxurious villas, and can also add private yachting, Michelin star caliber dining, and more to the package with a single click on the website booking page. VIP guests will have access to exclusive areas with lush amenities at Happy Bar. This includes table service, a chill-out area, a dedicated VIP bar and special cocktail and wine pop-up bars, and access to the famed Villa Party on Saturday.

Additional add-ons are the Satellite Parties, including the Boat Party with DJs soundtracking the epic voyage, which includes the option to set sail at sunset on the largest lagoon in the Caribbean, along with the Panorama event. The pre-sale for VIP Ticket holders for these two events starts February 8th.

The Panorama party will give attendees the chance to party at the peak of Sint Maarten’s highest mountain with breathtaking 360-degree views of the best Caribbean sunset. Fans may recognize the location from the iconic Cercle spectacle captured with Blond:ish from this very spot. The unique, sustainable venue – Rainforest Adventures / Rockland Estate – is an eco–adventure park that preserves the island’s native habit and invests in the cultural landscape of St. Maarten.

For the 2022 edition, the event will continue to build upon its deep connection with the cultural and ecological fabric of the beautiful host locale of Saint Martin / Sint Maarten. Spawned in 2019 to help encourage the prosperity and health of the island following the devastating Hurricane Irma, SXM Festival created a partnership with SXM Doet, the largest volunteer initiative in Saint Martin / Sint Maarten and the Dutch Kingdom.

Attendees are also encouraged to take a break from the party and meet the locals and other travelers, while offering their service to the island at specific, sponsored projects. Past projects have included beach cleanups, playground builds, and basketball court maintenance, with this year’s charitable action initiatives to be announced in the months to come.

SXM Festival is also dedicated to leaving a smaller footprint and helping replenish natural environments. With initiatives that include going paperless, saving energy with LED and solar lights, and eliminating plastic waste throughout the festival, it is the mission of SXM Festival to become increasingly sustainable throughout their growth. The festival also has a no trace policy: every venue is transformed to be more beautiful at the end of each event.

Whether you are a returning vet or first-timer, SXM Festival and the beautiful island of Saint Martin / Sint Maarten hold rich cultural surprises behind each twist and turn. It is truly a sum of its parts and a musical voyage of a lifetime. Come find out for yourself.

Tickets for SXM Festival are now on sale. Those interested in purchasing passes or learning more can head to their official website.

Then comes American rapper Tyga, who has signed with the greatest labels in the game, worked with Kanye and sold millions of records. Add in British-Swedish R&B sensation Mabel, British MC and rapper Bru-C, plus Chip, Hardy Caprio and Younger and you have a very special stage of unmissable live music.
