Big Reunion in UK; Taksirat in Macedonia & Stereosonic Australia
The Big Reunion Chapter 2 Nov 28-30 at Butlins Entertainment Centre Skegness on the east coast of England. Despite disparaging comments from the ever subtle mayor of London Boris Johnson, Skegness is still a popular holiday spot for Brits and thousands will be heading there for a weekend of dance music from DJs Tim Westwood, Dave Pearce and Judge Jules, with six stages designed by uber event producers Kinkymalinki and Kissdafunk.
Over to the Republic of Macedonia for Taksirat - a festival that began as a punk-ish underground event has grown in size but remains faithful to its roots - attracting music fans from surrounding Bulgaria, Serbia and Kosovo. On the bill - Audio Bullys, The Roots, Swayzak and Happy Mondays. Thanks to Cveta who responded to my email to the festival who explained Taksirat is an old Turkish word meaning 'destiny' both good and bad :)
Now to Australia for Stereosonic – an electronica and digital arts extravaganza – Brisbane’s already sold out but tickets are still available for Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and New Caledonia – on the bill - UK’s Carl Cox, Israel’s Infected Mushroom and Germany’s Booka Shade.
