Homecoming - CANCELLED 2009

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
This is due to new demands from the council requesting 50% of the profits and a £60,000 bond on the land. All ticket holders will be entitled to a full refund, and arrangements are currently being made to organise new venues and dates for some of the artists that were scheduled to perform at Homecoming 09.

====================
Scotland's newest dance music festival, Homecoming, will take place at Irvine Beach Park, Ayrshire, over the May Bank Holiday weekend on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd May). This new festival will play host to 12 arenas over two days and each day will run for 14 hours, finishing at 2am.

Tiesto's label Black Hole, Twice As Nice, We Love, RemixFM, Helter Skelter, and A State Of Trance will host arenas, and Glasgow music venue The Box will have a 'New Talent Stage' offering a platform for unsigned bands giving them the chance to play both The Box and at the festival.

The event will also have a Headphones And Heels arena, bringing glamour to the Saturday. Lisa Unique, Lauren Pope, Jakki Degg, Sam Cooke, Kellie Acreman and Charlotte Narni provide the beauty behind the decks while the M8 Playm8tes take to the podiums and the search for Miss Homecoming Festival comes to a conclusion as we crown the queen of the festival.
