With the warmer months approaching Europe, we see the festivals rush to finalise DJs and acts alongside location preparations and the numerous other things associated with a large event. Godskitchen's Global Gatherings lines up for yet another year of their successful festival extravaganza with one of their best DJ lineups to date.
On Saturday July 26 in Stratford Upon Avon, the only 2002 festival to sellout will be hosting the capacity 35,000 festival with all the lights, colour and flair you would expect from the Godskitchen crew. On site will be non-stop show spectaculars with fire throwing jugglers, trapeze artists, costumed dwarves, 8-foot magicians and other characters while the bungi jumping, rollercoasters and freefall simulators provide the adrenaline high.
If you think thats too much, GGG2003 have organised to bring to the fields of Stratford Upon Avon the Bora Bora beach party. Thousands of tonnes of sand will be wheeled in with the addition of hammocks and the chance of sunshine.
This year will see a couple of new tents with Bedrock, lead by John Digweed and his faithfull team, while Carl Cox's extremely popular Global sets down in the open land.
