Creamfields announce arena headliner for 2020

by

Since storming onto the drum & bass scene nearly two decades ago, Pendulum have arguably become one of the biggest names associated with the genre. But until a few months ago, the original trio of Rob Swire (Anscenic), Gareth McGrillen (Speed) and Paul Harding (El Hornet) hadn’t performed live together for over a decade. That was until the TRINITY concept was born, and the trio are now back as one with their brand-new live show, performing Creamfields 2020 on Saturday 29th August.

Pendulum are no strangers to Creamfields having made their debut in 2006 the same year the festival made its home in Daresbury and have performed many times since.   However, 2020 will see them unveil TRINITY for the first time at Creamfields bringing with them their infamous large- scale production, live vocals and unleashing some new music to the masses!

Commenting on their return: “We can’t wait to headline the Arena at Creamfields next year, we’ve always had a great time at the festival and we’re looking forward to our return in 2020”. 

Pendulum present TRINITY are the latest act to be added to the bill for Creamfields 2020, the UK’s biggest electronic music festival which returns to Cheshire on August Bank Holiday weekend, watch this space for more announcements over the coming months!

Eric Prydz to headline South West Four 2017

by
We are thrilled to reveal SW4 favourite Eric Prydz will be our next headliner for Saturday 26th August. Respected by his peers, loved by millions of fans, the Swede has become an icon to many worldwide. From masterpieces like OPUS to sell out arena shows, everything he touches turns to gold. Recent months have seen him sell out the 15,000 capacity Steelyard event in Victoria Park in less than 48 hours, headline festivals around the world and work on his hugely anticipated PRYDA 2017 album. With brand-new material set to come out ahead of the summer, we can’t wait to welcome this undisputed master back to his traditional hunting ground!
 
MK, MAYA JANE COLES VS HEIDI, PATRICK TOPPING,
SAM FELDT (LIVE) ALSO ADDED

 Regarded as one of the most popular dance music artists of the last two decades, there isn’t a crowd that MK can’t get pumping. From classics such as ‘Burning’ to modern day bangers like ‘My Head is a Jungle’, MK is one of the very best producers in the scene. Whether it’s a small club or a main stage, Marc Kinchen always delivers and it will be no different at SW4 2017.
 
Maya Jane Coles and Heidi are the two leading ladies of dance music. Maya has been in the forefront of underground house and techno for nearly a decade now, with her deep and mesmerizing sound hypnotizing audiences wherever she goes. Heidi on the other hand has enjoyed one of the most successful years of her career to date, capped by an outstanding twelve-week residency at XOYO. Set to be one of the most exciting back-to-backs this summer, we can’t wait to welcome these two queens of electronic music to battle it out.
 
Recently voted at #13 in Resident Advisor’s DJ poll, Patrick Topping has had a phenomenal year championing his tech-house sound. Fast becoming one of the key players in that scene, Patrick has been touring relentlessly and become a regular at one of the most popular parties in the world, Elrow! The 27-year old is on a roll and won’t be stopping until he reaches the very top. We are delighted to have him on board again as he’s sure to tear the roof off come Bank Holiday Saturday!
 
23-year old Sam Feldt has quickly become one of the most accomplished house artists in a very short space of time. Considered to be the golden child of the ever-popular Spinnin’ Records, Sam Feldt is a production machine. Having also created his ‘HeartFeldt & Friends’ & ‘Heartfeldt podcasts’, he definitely isn’t one to keep his fans waiting. His regular output of music and gigs means he’s one of the hardest working artists out there. We can’t wait for him to bring his high-energy LIVE show to the capital for the very first time on Saturday 26th August.

SW4 SATURDAY LINEUP SO FAR…
PENDULUM (LIVE)
ERIC PRYDZ
SIGMA (LIVE)
plus in alphabetical order… 
DUKE DUMONT · HANNAH WANTS · MK

Pendulum return to London to headline South West Four 2017

by

A jaw dropping live act, with an unparalleled reputation to destroy the world’s greatest festivals and stadiums on the big occasion, South West Four is proud to present the return of Pendulum to the capital for one night only, in their first performance in London in over half a decade.
 
Having re-defined the concept of an electronic music album with ‘Hold Your Colour’ in 2005, this seminal release assured Pendulum their place in the dance music hall of fame. Six years later they headlined SW4 to critical acclaim, becoming the first drum and bass act to do so at a major London festival. Having disbanded soon after to concentrate on individual projects, Pendulum reform in 2017 to headline for a second time, harnessing the experience of this period away to develop an innovative new dimension for their ‘Live’ domain. Hence why this is considered not just one of our most significant bookings EVER, but one of the most talked about at any festival this summer.
 
Further increasing the magnitude of an earth-shaking revelation, this will be Pendulum’s FIRST LONDON PERFORMANCE IN SIX YEARS! Scheduled to close our mammoth main stage on Saturday 26th August, this is no doubt the bands biggest ever London show to date – supported by colossal production and mindblowing visuals conceived for a heart thumping end to Day One.

SIGMA [LIVE], DUKE DUMONT, HANNAH WANTS, 
MISTAJAM, SONNY FODERA VS LOW STEPPA ALSO ADDED  

From their humble beginnings performing in back rooms to headlining festivals and playing at the most prestigious venues worldwide, Sigma have truly reached the top of their game. The last couple of years have witnessed the duo produce back-to-back number one singles, pick up a BRIT award and embark on a sellout UK tour. With millions of fans globally waiting for their next hit single, the pair have the world in the palm at their hands. We cannot wait to welcome one of the most dominant and prolific acts in dance music right now to play a full live show at our 14th installment of SW4. 
 
One of the most exciting and prolific artists of the last decade, British-Born, American based DJ Duke Dumont has been responsible for some of the most popular house tracks in recent time. His energy and unique productions such as ‘I Got You’ and ‘Need You’ have made Duke stand out in a fiercely competitive scene and he continues to deliver year after year. Stand out appearances at the world famous Amnesia in Ibiza and a sell out American tour means this man is one of the most in demand DJs on the planet.
 
The queen of dance music, Hannah Wants, simply knows no stopping. Bursting onto the scene a few years ago, Hannah continues her meteoritic rise to the top and is firmly established the dance music elite. A stellar residency at Together at Amnesia and countless sell out tours around the planet has seen her amass an army of fans worldwide and London is no different. Having debuted at SW4 in 2015 and attracting a huge crowd in the process, she will return in 2017 bringing her raw energy and excellent song selection to Clapham Common…
 
Tastemaker, DJ, broadcaster and producer are amongst the qualities MistaJam is known for. Jam has become THE voice of breaking brand new music and artists in the last decade and things are certainly continuing in that fashion. The London-man has become a household name and has been responsible for pushing all genres of music in this country from grime to house to hip hop via his outstanding BBC Radio 1 show. We cannot wait to welcome the SW4 regular back to the Common for him to do what he does best, rock the crowd!

Australian Sonny Fodera’s distinguishable groovy house sound makes him stand out from the rest. A stellar year has seen him embark on a thirty-date tour spanning the UK, United States and Australia with the demand for the young producer not letting up.  The same can be said about Low Steppa, the prolific UK producer has gone from strength to strength in the past 18 months with notable performances at the world famous Amnesia and Ministry of Sound. Both of these exciting acts will be making their SW4 debut as they come together for a highly anticipated back-to-back performance!

Electric Daisy Carnival returns for its third year to the UK in 2015

by

Today the world-famous dance music festival Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) announced that, for the third year in a row, it will return to the UK on Saturday 11 July, 2015.

A legendary venue, Milton Keynes Bowl provides the perfect setting for EDC UK, while the brightest stars in dance music will light up four breathtaking stages/arenas, each possessing their own unique vibe.  DJs will converge from the four corners of the world to celebrate the enduringly popular genre of techno at neonGARDEN, keeping it deep and dark from dawn to dusk. kineticFIELD presents an exciting mix of big arena electro-house artists, and circuitGROUNDS brings a seminal lineup of drum & bass pioneers who have progressively deconstructed the genre into the cutting-edge sounds and subgenres of today. At cosmicMEADOW, a stellar array of favorites has been assembled to transport Headliners straight to the stratosphere.

LINEUP SO FAR: Critically acclaimed Art Department is deep, dark and minimal. Los Angeles-based Carnage deftly fuses electro, hip-hop, pop and trap into an intoxicating brew that’s dirty, defiant, and diverse. Detroit-born Claude VonStroke, owner of Dirtybird Records and now living the life in Venice Beach, remixes everyone from Kenny Larkin to London Grammar. Cosmic Gate feed off one another’s turntable creativity to whip up a frenzied digital supernova. Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike have enjoyed a continuously upward trajectory from celebrated DJs to dominating figures in the electronic music industry. Dutch legend Ferry Corsten coaxes maximum emotional impact from his records, ensuring his place at the top of the electronic music Hall of Fame. Showing his masterful skills behind the decks, BBC Radio 1’s very own Friction will be mesmerizing Headliners on four decks with unreleased cuts. Dutch DJ and producer Hardwell won the DJ Mag Top 100 poll for the last two years. High Contrast will be joined by MC Wrec and Ilan Bluestone.

Jamie Jones, leader of the new sound of house, is renowned for his pioneering music, his cross-genre band Hot Natured, his groundbreaking Hot Creations label, and his world-famous event series, Paradise. In less than a decade, he has catapulted himself to stardom by shattering genres and breaking out of the confines of minimal techno. Jamie’s revolutionary sound is an instrumental part of his success, being both artistically innovative, yet easily accessible. Also appearing will be John O’Callaghan, Jordan Suckley B2B Bryan Kearney, Kove and Linguistics—as well as Marco Carola, widely regarded as one of techno’s true pioneers. From his stellar Ibiza residency each summer to his shows across the world, Carola and his Music On parties and record label have become synonymous with cutting-edge music. Markus Schulz is a regular at EDC events around the world and known affectionately by his fans as “the Unicorn Slayer.” 

Matrix & Futurebound have defined a whole new era in drum & bass via their skillful fusion of epic, melodic soundscapes with heavyweight dancefloor production and original vocals. Rising star Miguel Campbell and BBC Radio 1’s Mistajam will be in attendance. The debonair Paul van Dyk—German DJ, musician, producer, Grammy winner and torch-bearer for the scene—had the longest unbroken run at #1 in the DJ Mag Top 100 poll, was the first DJ ever to be voted as #1 in Mixmag, and boasts remix and production credits for the likes of U2, Depeche Mode and New Order.

This festival lineup wouldn’t be complete without drum & bass kingpins Pendulum (DJ set) with Verse. Raw and controversial, with momentous killer beats, they are not to be missed. One of the UK’s hottest new talents, Philip George, had the biggest breakout record of 2014 with “Wish You Were Mine.” PureNRG Live and Richy Ahmed will be performing live. Route 94 has quietly yet forcefully established himself as a distinctive young figure in the house music scene. For his latest album project, Cornerstone, Shy FX revisits old-school studio techniques and collaborates with a mouthwatering lineup of special guests. Drum & bass duo Sigma need little introduction; from early releases on labels such as Hospital and Viper Recordings, they have cemented themselves as an integral part of the scene. Steve Aoki head label Dim Mak, and Simon Patterson is a star of UK electro house. Sub Focus’ single releases span a plethora of electronic genres, from drum & bass and dubstep to house music and beyond. One of Holland’s most prized exports, DJ and producer Tiësto is a Grammy nominee and multiple winner of the celebrated DJ Mag poll. His legendary progressive electro house sound—along with his uncanny ability to read a crowd’s energy—makes him a perfect deck magician. Visionquest, wAFF and Will Aktinson round out the lineup, with more to be announced.

Hardwell, Pendulum (DJ Set) and more added to EDC UK

by

World-famous dance music festival Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) returns to the UK for an epic two-day party which will see it transform theMilton Keynes Bowl on Saturday July 12 and Sunday July 13 beyond all recognition in the only way Electric Daisy Carnival knows how, promising to be even bolder and more explosive than 2013’s sold-out inaugural event, and making the ground-breaking festival the most breathtaking show of 2014.

Having already announced a star-studded line-up, Electric Daisy Carnival UK is adding even more names to join the weekend's festivities. First up is very special guest Hardwell, back by popular demand, returning to the Kinetic Field stage after an incredible reception at EDC’s UK event last summer. Voted the world’s Number 1 DJ in DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJs in late 2013, this inimitable Dutch electro house odyssey will have the crowd jumping to his tune, as one of the most dominant forces in electronic dance music.

Drum’n’bass and rock fusionists Pendulum bring a heavyweight electric DJ set to Cosmic Meadow hosted by HARD, with hype man Verse on MC duties. A critically acclaimed stadium-worthy live and DJ act, Pendulum DJ sets successfully blur the lines between drum’n’bass, breakbeat, jungle and bass and guitar-led live electronica and rock genres. Staying on a drum’n’bass tip, UK duo Sigma beef up proceedings with a tendency towards jungle-infused sets. A highly sought-after production outfit, Sigma have worked with DJ Fresh, Rusko, Stylo G, Ellie Goulding, and Eric Prydz, and recently scored a huge number 1 with ‘Nobody to Love’.

He topped the charts with infectious banger ‘My Love’ in March, and now hot young DJ/producer Route 94 takes on Cosmic Meadow with his stripped-back deep house and laid-back party style. A leading proponent of the new house sound, Route 94 maintains a distinctly UK edge, his tunes laced with complex grooving basslines. US house master and innovator Kerri Chandler brings a DJ style that seamlessly blends deep through soulful and new house, disco with new wave and floor-friendly techno, UK bass and vocal garage, plus a very special performance fromDeorro who joins Laidback Luke in the Circuit Grounds on July 13. 

An Ibiza favourite whose star continues to rise across the European festival circuit and beyond, Nick Curly is a tech house tour de force. This German DJ shows how it’s done. Cadenza one-to-watch Andrea Oliva is another of Ibiza’s favourites heading to Cosmic Meadow. Dutch electro DJ duo Firebeatz have the remixer’s Midas touch, while in-demand Hot Creations face and Outcross records head Miguel Campbell offers a masterclass in deep house. A-list electro-house production duo Bassjackers appear at Kinetic Field. And multi-talented BBC Radio 1 DJ/producerDanny Howard – whose show boasts 1.8million listeners – joins Circuit Grounds.

EDC UK also welcomes some of the trance scene’s major players to Circuit Grounds, with Grammy Award-nominated progressive pacemakerAndy Moor and boundary-pushing evolutionist Lange going back to back, young talent and BBC Radio 1 In New DJs We Trust name JordanSuckley up against uplifting Irish DJ and producer Bryan Kearney, and Above & Beyond’s golden boy and progressive house tweaker Jaytech squaring up against Anjunadeep burgeoning talent Ilan Bluestone for a unique back to back set.

Adding another two arenas, with Tidy Arena and Goodgreef Xtra Hard, EDC UK makes a commitment to all things hard. On July 12 the TidyArena features hard dance pioneers Tidy Boys, BK featuring Cortina with a rare live trance set, hard house faces Andy Whitby and Alex Kidd. Rising hardcore DJ Cally Cage appears with trance and hardcore selector Kym Ayers, presenting their very special Tidy Girls Like It HARD set.Rob Tissera is on board, as are progressive head Maddox and hard house banger Townend for their Untidy set. Max Mozart & Audox and TrapTwo round up the Tidy Arena line-up. And on July 13 Goodgreef Xtra Hard arrives, the international trance and hard dance institution bringing together hard-styler Technoboy and Q Dance radio’s Kutski. Scot Project plays a classics set, catch hard stalwarts Organ Donors and Mark E.G, Cally & Juice play their last ever UK festival set, Technikal plays a hard trance classics set, see Argy, and Phil Mackintosh b2b Shaun T, hosted throughout by MC Shocker.

Introducing Electric Castle Festival

by

ELECTRIC CASTLE represents an idea, concept and event created and planned by BOILER EVENTS, the artistic force behind Boiler Club – Cluj-Napoca’s clubbing scene breakthrough. Boiler is an unconventional place in an unconventional setting, a storage tank for creative music and artists. Placed in the former water injection room in the actual basement of The Paintbrush Factory/Cluj-Napoca (Romania), Boiler is well integrated in a cultural and nonconformist landscape.

Alongside BOOHA.RO, BOOHA COLLEGE, BOOHA BAR, AMERICAN EXPERIENCE we will make sure that this innovative music festival will shake up the way people interact with music.
