27th - 29th August, 2004
Kings Cross, London
This new event will be bringing the festival atmosphere into the city for a 3 day music and video spectacular featuring a eclectic and diverse range of contemporary musicians. Taking place in a old goods yard and 3 established music venues located around it, the backdrop will be dramatic for one of the last 3 day festivals of the summer season
The electronic music scene will be represented on all but one of the stages at the event with performances from the likes of Carl Craig (live), DJ Krush (Live), 2Many DJ's, Derrick Carter, Derrick May, Mark Farina, a Ninja Tune stage, the list goes on.
The festival organisers say the cobbled courtyard guarantees it won't be a muddy festival, even if its rains and with many of the performance areas undercover it should be a success whatever the weather.
