SW4 2011 Saturday completely SOLD OUT

by
Demand for tickets has been nothing short of incredible and we would like to thank everyone who has helped SW4 Saturday sell out three weeks in advance. All that remains now are the tickets to day two at SW4, with these now down to the final allocation and expected to sell out imminently.
 
Headlining day two of South West Four will be the musical juggernaut that is Pendulum, playing their only London show of the year. They will be joined by dubstep powerhouse Magnetic Man, with further main stage performances coming courtesy of Annie Mac, Digital Soundboy Soundsystem, Wretch32 and many more. Techno legend Richie Hawtin takes care of proceedings in the Together arena alongside the likes of Modeselektor, Sub Focus and Andy C, whilst the greatest Sunday clubbing institution on the planet, the mighty We Love…, host an arena at SW4 for the very first time. Sasha headlines their stage with a greatly anticipated V_rtek performance, supported by very special DJ sets from Simian Mobile Disco, Steve Lawler and Ellen Allien. Swedish techno sensation Adam Beyer brings Drumcode to South West London with an exclusive label showcase, featuring a one off performance from Eric Prydz under his Cirez D guise, plus live sets from Slam and Paul Ritch. With many more acts playing across four stages we cannot wait and we’re sure you can’t either. Be sure to get your tickets now if you want to be a part of SW4 2011.

Boat parties throughout the hot afternoons will set the tone for evenings ahead as Crosstown Rebels, Resident Advisor and more host until sunset to get the party started.  In contrast to the performance of many UK festivals, Hideout leads the way to Europe with thousands following. Festival goers across the UK and Europe have snapped up all the tickets to ensure they will be at the first ever Hideout Festival. Boasting arguably the best electronic line-up on offer in 2011, Hideout Festival spans Electro, Techno, Drum N Base and more, offering a plethora of sounds in an idyllic setting.

Melt! Anthem
Here is a link to  this years Melt! anthem (http://www.meltfestival.de/hymne), which is available for free. We won’t tell you who wrote it, but we go way back. Another clue might be our slogan “U Melt! My Heart”.

 
Melt! Pre-Party 
The Audiolith crew’s parking lot raves have been an integral part of the Melt! cosmos since always. They had always been the perfect but unofficial opening party of Melt! Festival till last year. Then the boys officially came on board. Since the pre-party got bigger and bigger, we simply moved the debauchery from the parking lot to the Intro Zelt so we wouldn’t disturb the neighbours too much. In 2011, the pre-party will once again be held on Thursday night (14th July) with an obvious Audiolith presence. Frittenbude will conquer the stage together with Egotronic, Mediengruppe Telekommander are about to perform songs off their new album (a Audiolith/Staatsakt collaboration), various Audiolith DJs will fuel Melt! madness among the crowd and a secret special guest is also going to show up. Once again, the pre-party’s capacity is limited. Like last year, you have to pay a EUR 5 cover charge (incl. fees), which will be partially donated to charity. Tickets for our pre-party are only available as etickets here (www.meltfestival.de/tickets) in combination with a festival ticket only.  
Ticket holders, who want to enjoy our Melt! pre-party, should also act fast as well and buy their tickets here. There might not be any tickets available on location. last year’s pre-party was sold out. So if you want make sure that you actually get in, we urge you to buy your ticket in advance. 
 
Melt! Train 
Our hotel train rides again! Last year, our beds on wheels option for Melt! premiered. In 2011, a train will ride once more to the festival site in Ferropolis as part of our environmental project M!Eco. The last 100 Melt! Train tickets are also still available here; for ticket holders and those of you who don’t have tickets yet. This is your last chance to get hold of a festival ticket!

In collaboration with Cool-Tours ( www.cool-tours.de) and MixeryFunTravel (http://www.mixery-fun-travel.de/), we charter a Euro Express train, which will depart from Cologne. The train is stopping directly in front of the festival grounds. The best thing about it: every passenger will have his or her own private bed on Melt! Train including sanitary arrangements for four days. To assure that only Hotel Train passengers have access to their departments, special wristbands will be handed out. 

One compartment of the train is also equipped with its own DJ and a bar run by Cool-Tours. The bar will be open during the journey as well as during the day on location. New this year: Cool-Tours offers daily breakfast for EUR 19, which can be ordered in advance or on arrival. Train attendants will care for your needs the entire journey. 

Return journey plus four overnight stays will cost you EUR 99 (per person, festival ticket not included). To guarantee that you will be booked in a compartment with all your friends (up to six), one of you has to book single tickets for all the others. So if you book a compartment with six beds this will cost you EUR 594. 

Book your ticket via Cool-Tours here (http://www.festivalreisen.de/index.php?cat=c16_Melt%21.html). Further info on eco-friendly travel options to Melt! will be posted here ( http://www.meltfestival.de/de/melt_reise) soon.

Parklife Weekender SOLD OUT!

by
Following a speedy sell out in its inaugural year in 2010 Parklife responded by doubling to a two-day event for 2011, becoming the Parklife Weekender. The festival’s second year has proved every bit as popular and is now sold out. A strictly limited number of 250 weekend tickets will be released and only available at the Parklife Weekender’s official pre-party, headlined by Caribou and taking place on Saturday 4th June at The Apollo.
 
As well as the 90+ bands, DJs and performers already announced, the Parklife Weekender is laying on a heady mix of live art and performance of all shapes and sizes. Skilfully auditioning hopefuls for cabaret and busking stages featuring at this year’s Parklife Weekender, ANTICX bring a host of performers to the table. The wildly diverse offering programmed by the Manchester-based creative collective makes up an all new feature of the Parklife Weekender – the Roshambo show.
ANTIXC cabaret stage sees dance troupes, live music, comedy, spoken word and theatre. Amongst a glittering cast of talent are Manchester Metropolitan University’s Pop & Lock society, funk group, the Effektuators and all-female theatre company from the Contact Theatre, the Eggs Collective. Also appearing are improvisational dance collective Mixed Movement featuring Baba Isreal, folk-pop outfit My First Tooth, comedy sketch troupe The Animals of Butter Bridge, Urban Music Artist, Bugsy Malone and many more.
The Busker’s stage offers up acoustic sounds from the likes of The Happy Soul and Manchester’s harmonious five-piece She Choir. Performances will include Schmucks Theatre’s “Artist Unknown” and rising comedy collective FunBox. Spoken word comes in the form of Chris Jam, speak easy, feminist performance poet Anna Percy and Freestlye Footballer Ollie Hayes demonstrates sporting and physical feats. The Roshambo Area stage also lays on DJs of their very own all weekend including Knockout Ned’s Social Club.
 
Just when you thought things couldn’t get more bizarre, Parklife Weekender unveils The Hidden Wombs and The Tunnels of Love. In homage to the procreation process, don your sperm costume and head through giant passage ways to discover hidden parts of the festival site.  Somewhat more dainty will be The Rose Garden, featuring a large scale fabric art installation from Donna Jeves and the Elephant Collective will this year provide a tranquil oasis. From whether picking up new shades or the obligatory bonkers festival hat, the Parklife Market will be trading all weekend satisfying everyone’s festival purchase needs. Promising a caravan full of other-worldly wonders and curiosities is Cabinet Fatalia and for the more flamboyant festival goer is the boutique fancy dress emporium known as Spangle Box. Also popping up across the park will be giant novelty furniture plus a number of charity and campaign stalls.
 
Making a welcome return will be the Mad Ferret’s Garden, housing a bigger and better Truly Tremendous Treehouse stage. Here the crowd will find Manchester’s finest silent disco DJ talent. Audience members looking for a breather can head to Veg Out and do just that – reclining on giant vegetable seating in an area hosted by Electronic club night promoters Audio Farm.
 
A feast for the eyes comes in the form of live art and installations curated by Richard Birdseed. The young Manchester-based illustrator, designer and artist brings together a number of names who will be making live street art and graffiti as well as many other creative happenings across the weekend.
 
Around the rest of the Parklife Weekender can be found Evolve Manchester Parkour and Circus Skills, The Up Stage, The Crazy Carnival Tube Stage, The Four Live Lounges, The  Cone Stage, The Earthlings & Aliens Stages, Obertrons Toenail Turrets and The Tundenium Domes.
 
Parklife Weekender’s impressive mix of electronic, indie and crossover artists performing for 2011 includes headliners Chase & Status and Two Door Cinema Club as well as many more much-loved names such as Simian Mobile Disco, 2manyDJs, Annie Mac and Jamie xx.
