The UK’s premier dance festival, GlobalGathering, will be celebrating its tenth year this summer with its most spectacular production to date. Taking place in Stratford-upon-Avon on the 30th and 31st July, the festival is proud to announce seminal dance legends Faithless and hip-hop impresario Dizzee Rascal as the first headline acts on the tenth celebration of the festival.

Lauded as one of the most diverse and influential bands of the past two decades, Faithless have spent the last 15 years dominating dance floors with their unique, innovative sound. This year the critically acclaimed, award-winning outfit will be returning to the festival for the second time and proving exactly why they remain a firm favourite with the GlobalGathering crowd.

GlobalGathering and Faithless are also offering their fans an exciting opportunity to download the brand new track Sun to Me for free exclusively from the GlobalGathering website. The track provides the perfect introduction to their eagerly-anticipated new album, set for release later this year.

Joining Faithless for the tenth edition is hip-hop maestro Dizzee Rascal, whose unique talent has seen him evolve from underground grime artist to chart-topping, Mercury-award-winning superstar. Dizzee’s pioneering pop/hip-hop fusion has propelled him to global stardom and made him one of the most exciting live acts in the UK today.

Dizzee Rascal said: “I’m really looking forward to GlobalGathering this year, gonna make sure that it’s a big one... ten years and still getting bigger and better!"

Over 50,000 dance music fans will pour through the Stratford-upon-Avon gates to experience the colossal tenth birthday event. Taking place in Shakespeare’s country at the height of summer, over 150 of the most exciting DJ’s in the world will take to the 16 stages to keep the crowds dancing through the two day festival.

Alongside the greatest names in electronic music, the GlobalGathering crowds will experience some of the most jaw-dropping, state-of-the-art visuals of any festival this year. Following its successful debut in 2009, the Godskitchen Boombox is back by popular demand. The incredible rectangular structure will be home to some of the biggest names at this year’s event. As well as housing the latest DJ equipment it will act as a giant screen from which an astounding combination of lighting, LED’s and visuals will be projected in perfect synchronization with the music.

For those wishing to enjoy the two-day camping festival whilst returning at night to the lap of luxury, GlobalGathering has a selection of VIP packages on offer in their lavish camping area; Luxury Camping @ Cloud9. Set in tranquil surroundings away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the festival, people can either bring their own campervan or choose from accommodation ranging from Gypsy Bow Caravans to Tipi’s, Podpads, Kacoons and more. Those staying here will also get all the benefits of VIP ticket holders.

Due to high demand GlobalGathering are pleased to announce that they have extended the deadlines for their ticket deposit scheme, which allows for tickets to be paid for in two installments. The first payment can now be made up until 5pm on the 31st March, whilst the second payment deadline is 5pm on the 14th May.

I'm following last year's approach of waiting for someone else to do it.

Some names starting to appear on the official site forums though...
