Global Gathering
Global Gathering festival returns to Long Marston Airfield, Stratford Upon Avon on Friday 27th and Saturday 28th July for its 12th year in 2012, featuring headline performances from Tinie Tempah, Chase & Status, Armin van Buuren, Skrillex and Friendly Fires.
Global Gathering are this year announcing two new stages to add to the list of heavyweight hosts set to storm Long Marston Airfield. The first, joining the likes of UKF Bass Culture, Hospitality, Rinse and Visionquest are Birmingham-based promoters Ec-lectricity. The Ec-lectricity Presents stage will showcase their knack of breaking down musical barriers, combining this with top-notch event production on the brand new outdoor stage featuring mind blowing LED visuals whilst bringing the very best electronic music out there across the genre spectrum.
GlobalGathering is an annual dance music festival by Angel Music Group, the company behind Godskitchen, and is a key player in the international festival market.
With 10 music festivals across the globe in countries such as Ukraine, Poland, Turkey, Russia, Belarus, Australia and the UK every single event has surpassed all expectations with top class electronic music artists and market leading production.
The festival has been running since 2001 and the concept came about following an unprecedented interest in the opening of Angel Music Group’s new club Code (now renamed Air) the home of Godskitchen, the organisers recognised that there was a real gap in the market and potential to expand out of the club and into the fields, and what an excellent decision that turned out to be….
On March 18, 2006, GlobalGathering made its debut appearance outside of the United Kingdom when the festival travelled to Miami, Florida. The festival broadened its musical horizons in the American market to include acts such as Nine Inch Nails, Coheed and Cambria, Avenged Sevenfold, Deep Dish, Adam Freeland, Sasha, John Digweed, and many more dance and rock artists. Since then, the festival has expanded worldwide, with the 2008 season including shows in Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Turkey, Australia, and Malaysia.
A scorching line up of the world's biggest DJs and immense live talent ensures guests from around the world get to enjoy a once in a lifetime festival experience each and every event.
GlobalGathering in the UK has become the undisputed heavyweight champion of electronic music festivals and is always held on the last weekend in July. It has established itself as a major UK dance festival since it began in 2001 and has won the crown for Best UK Festival for the last two years running in the DJ magazine awards and is now seen as the industry forerunner for worldwide electronic festivals.
80,000 festival goers and party people descend on Long Marston Airfield in Stratford-upon-Avon over the weekend to rock their socks off to every genre of electronic music including live acts, house, trance, techno at the UK's Biggest Ever Dance Weekender.
The two-day camping festival takes place at the height of summer attracting tens of thousands of musos and style aficionados alike to Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon. Over 100 artists play the sixteen stages, arena and terraces delivering an unforgettable music marathon.
More than any other electronic music festival GlobalGathering combines awe-inspiring music with a super honed and slick production operation. Campsites are the equivalent size of 50 football pitches and all guests can enjoy full facilities. A separate VIP area with Jacuzzi's, private campsite complete with a special golden circle for main stage viewing is also available to VIP ticket holders.
With many of you getting together to create an atmosphere all of your own, the campsite has become an entity in it's own right and there is never a dull moment as you constantly meet new people, gather round for a few drinks, share tips for which acts to see or just generally share stories from over the weekend.
The campsite itself plays home to an array of essential areas to ensure your weekend is as comfortable as possible. First of all, toilets of course, these are handily situated throughout the site so you don't get caught short when nature calls. The bar also boasts a great 'pub garden' seating area which is ideal for meeting up with friends or even meeting some new ones. There are a wide selection of drinks on offer so you can rest safe in the knowledge that whatever your tipple, it will be there.
The camping store is also available for all weekend ticket holders, just in case you have forgotten your tent pegs, or worse, your tent. There is everything you will need in here, and probably lots of things you won't!
GlobalGathering 2012 will feature more camping options than ever before:
· General Admission Camping: turn up with you camping kit, find a great space to camp and make the area your own,
· VIP Camping: as well as experiencing the delights of the VIP Woods and Fields you get a better campsite with more space, luxury toilets and showers.
