MAIN AUDITORIUM
New music Zane Lowe makes a triumphant return to Supersonic Vague’s hallowed decks to headline Stereo Apocalypto . As part of the backbone of Radio 1 and a favourite of Ibiza Rocks and Reclaim The Dancefloor, anyone who is yet to see this master at work need not miss one of Zane’s mind-blowingly eccentric and eclectic sets.
Joining Zane is the Klaxons. In less than two years, the Mercury Award winning Klaxons, with their bandleader Jamie Reynolds, have gone from a nebulous but strangely spot-on 'concept' combining indie-rock with early 90s hardcore rave to a fully fledged member of the indie rock establishment, a band bursting with original ideas, an untouchable creative vision and a sound that they can truly call their own. Creators of the ‘Nu Rave’ concept , their cosmic imagery, avant-garde awareness, dizzy melodies, raging energy and post-modern fashion, makes them one of the most exciting bands around and they are becoming as well known for their incredible DJ sets as they are for their live performances.
Audio Bullys will dish up punked up house, dubstep, rock and techno. Following a hiatus, Audio Bullys (aka Simon Franks and Tom Dinsdale) released their long-anticipated third album 'Higher Than the Eiffel' in March to critical acclaim. The genre defying duo take time out from their UK live tour to take to the Gatecrasher decks.
Jump up rock and rave comes courtesy of sonic visionary Radio 1’s Kissy Sell-Out. This is dance music like you have never heard before... Effervescent, rave-friendly Kissy Sell Out is the mash-up master blasting away musical purists with his trademark air horn.
